We study a random system of cn linear equations over n variables in GF(2), where each equation contains exactly r variables; this is equivalent to r-XORSAT. Previous work has established a clustering threshold, cr for this model: if c = c ∗ r − ǫ for any constant ǫ > 0 then with high probability all solutions form a well-connected cluster; whereas if c = cr + ǫ, then with high probability the s...

BACKGROUND Historically, the preoperative consultation has consisted of a discussion between patient and surgeon. There is a growing literature describing efforts to integrate multimedia into surgical patient education. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of an educational video tutorial on early learning of information specific to patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy when it was used a...

Using a video-review procedure, multiple perceivers carried out mind-reading tasks of multiple targets at different levels of acquaintanceship (50 dating couples, friends of the dating partners, and strangers). As predicted, the authors found that mind-reading accuracy was (a). higher as a function of increased acquaintanceship, (b). relatively unaffected by target effects, (c). influenced by i...

Retrospective accounts of transgression and forgiveness situations in ongoing friendships and dating relationships were coded based on Kelley’s (1998) three forms of forgiveness granting (direct, indirect, and conditional). Across the sample, indirect forgiveness was reported most frequently, followed by direct and conditional forgiveness. Forgivenessgranting tendencies varied by relationship t...

OBJECTIVE Investigate which specific factors of abortion-related healthcare influence the overall satisfaction of women undergoing surgical abortion. STUDY DESIGN Between May and December 2014, we invited women undergoing first-trimester surgical abortion without sedation at six Northern California reproductive health clinics from two clinic systems (four clinics in System A and two clinics i...

This research aims to explain the negative side of ICT-enabled communications. Therefore, the perception of users that social interactions on online social networks (OSN) are threatening is suggested as a new variable called social interaction overload. The paper theorizes that individual, OSN-specific, and OSN-specific communication characteristics manifest the extent to which social interacti...

The association between nine philosophical referents of happiness and well-being was examined in a convenience sample (n= 1060) two Chilean cities. Participants had to choose one referent respond well-being, satisfaction, scales regarding family, friends, work, leisure. A lower educational level associated more with the Tranquility Stoicism less realization capabilities. Young people ascribe Sa...
