Recent research has implicated relationships between emotion dysregulation and obsessions. Evidence suggests low distress tolerance and greater tendency to act impulsively in the face of negative affect (or negative urgency) are strongly related to obsessions. The current study sought to examine the unique and interactive roles of distress tolerance and negative urgency in the prediction of obs...

Generalized hyperalgesia has been demonstrated in cross-sectional studies in a range of chronic pain disorders, including low-back pain. It is not clear, whether the increased sensitivity to experimental pain stimuli in chronic low-back pain sufferers develops early with acute pain, later with chronification, or whether it actually represents pre-existing, high pain sensitivity in a susceptible...

We consider a new generalized Chaplygin gas model that includes the original Chaplygin gas model as a special case. In this model the generalized Chaplygin gas evolves as from dust to quiessence or phantom. We show that the model is consistent with current type Ia supernova data for a broad range of parameters.

We first prove the existence of solutions for a generalized mixed equilibrium problem under the new conditions imposed on the given bifunction and introduce the algorithm for solving a common element in the solution set of a generalized mixed equilibrium problem and the common fixed point set of finite family of asymptotically nonexpansivemappings. Next, the strong convergence theorems are obta...

Real-world systems in nature can be described by complex networks. It is of current interest for researchers to construct network models depicting complex systems. In this paper, the generalized Koch network is proposed, which exhibits some properties of Koch networks. Analytical expressions involving the degree distribution, clustering coefficient and average path length for the generalized Ko...

We considered the problem of processing queries that contain generalized quan-tiiers. We demonstrate that current relational systems are ill-equipped, both at the language and at the query processing level, to deal with such queries. We propose a boolean matrix approach which establishes the feasibility of building systems that can process queries with generalized quantiiers eeciently, and we p...

The generalized Dirac equation of the third order, describing particles with spin 1/2 and three mass states, is analyzed. We obtain the first order generalized Dirac equation in the 24-dimensional matrix form, and the density of the electromagnetic current. Minimal and non-minimal (anomalous) electromagnetic interactions of fermions are considered by introducing three phenomenological parameter...

We present the generalized peephole metaphor, a model of interaction in augmented reality and instrumented environments. After briefly introducing previous research, which led to the model, we describe a specific scenario in which we introduce the core idea and some implications. The model nicely matches research in human perception, which is also discussed briefly. A short outlook describes ou...

This paper presents the generalized packing server. It reduces the problem of scheduling tasks with precedence constraints on multiple processing units to the problem of scheduling independent tasks. The work generalizes our previous contribution made in the specific context of scheduling Map/Reduce workflows. The results apply to the generalized parallel task model, introduced in recent litera...

The continuity equation relating the change in time of the position probability density to the gradient of the probability current density is generalized to PT-symmetric quantum mechanics. The normalization condition of eigenfunctions is modified in accordance with this new conservation law and illustrated with some detailed examples.
