The present study examined the neuropsychological correlates of impulsive aggression/violence using a population which is considered to be functioning ‘normally’ by societal standards, college students. Subjects were 12 college students classified as impulsive aggressive by self-report and 12 nonaggressive matched controls. All impulsive aggressive subjects reported a lifetime history of physic...

This paper addresses the problem of impulsive noise cancellation in digital signal area. The myriad and meridian filters are the type of robust filters which are very useful in suppressing the impulsive type of noise. The cost functions of theses filters have very similar structure. In this paper the generalized filter based on Lp norm is presented. The proposed filter operates in a wide range ...

Using a known correspondence between the solutions of impulsive measure functional differential equations and the solutions of impulsive functional dynamic equations on time scales, we prove that the limit of solutions of impulsive functional dynamic equations over a convergent sequence of time scales converges to a solution of an impulsive functional dynamic equation over the limiting time sca...

The present study investigated the effect of taxing high-energy dense products and subsidizing low-energy dense products on changes in calorie consumption. More specifically, we hypothesized that 'more impulsive' individuals were less influenced by such pricing strategies compared to 'less impulsive' individuals. Contrary to our hypothesis, results showed that 'more impulsive' individuals adjus...

Nonlinear integral inequalities of Gronwall-Bihari type for piecewise continuous functions are solved. Inequalities for functions with delay as well as functions without delays are considered. Some of the obtained results are applied in the deriving of estimates for the solutions of impulsive integral, impulsive integro-differential and impulsive differential-difference equations.

This study developed a structural equation model that investigates the hierarchical relationships among Big Five factors, impulsive buying and compulsive buying. It identified positive relationships between impulsive buying and compulsive buying, between emotional instability and the two traits, and between impulsive buying and two other personality traits (openness and extraversion).

Although alcohol use disorders (AUDs) have been associated with impulsive personality traits and reduced working memory capacity (WMC), less is known about the nature of their interrelationships. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that low WMC is associated with both impulsive personality and alcohol problems, and that impulsive personality mediates the association between low WMC a...

The present study aims to explore the relationship between conscientiousness and the consumption of healthy versus unhealthy main meals. Impulsive eating was tested as a mediator in this relationship, as well as direct effects of age on those constructs. A nationwide representative sample of 1,006 Norwegian adults (18-70 years) within a prospective design was used to test a theoretical model. T...

A general predator-prey system is studied in a scheme where there is periodic impulsive perturbations. This scheme has the potential to protect the predator from extinction but under some conditions may also serve to lead to extinction of the prey. Conditions for extinction and permanence are obtained via the comparison methods involving monotone theory of impulsive systems and multiple Liapuno...

This paper examines impulsivity as a central factor in moderate/superficial self-mutilation such as skin-cutting and burning. A sample of 165 subjects were divided into four groups, namely self-mutilators, patients with any modes of impulsive behavior other than self-mutilation, patients without any impulsive behavior, and normal probands. All were administered the 10th version of the Barratt I...
