OBJECTIVE This study examined the prevalence and correlates of Adult Separation Anxiety Disorder (ASAD) and Adult Separation Anxiety (ASA) symptoms in a sample of first-time mothers with an unsettled infant during the first postpartum year. METHODS Eighty-three primiparous women admitted to a residential parent-infant program participated in a structured clinical interview for DSM-IV diagnosi...

This paper presents work which extends previous corpus-based work on training Machine Learning Algorithms to perform Prepositional Phrase attachment. Besides recreating others’ experiments to see how algorithms’ performance changes with the number of training examples and using n-fold cross-validation to produce more accurate error rates, we implemented our own vanilla Machine Learning Algorith...

We study the capacity of Hodgkin-Huxley neuron in a network to change temporarily or permanently their connections and behavior, the so called spike timing-dependent plasticity (STDP), as a function of their synchronous behavior. We consider STDP of excitatory and inhibitory synapses driven by Hebbian rules. We show that the final state of networks evolved by a STDP depend on the initial networ...

background family plays an important role in helping adolescent acquiring skills or strengthening their characters. objectives we aimed to evaluate the influences of family factors, risky and protective, on adolescent health-risk behavior (hrb). patients and methods in this cross-sectional study, students of high schools in kerman, iran at all levels participated, during november 2011 till dece...

We study the role of the interaction network in a collaborative learning model known as the classification game. This involves a population of agents collaboratively learning to solve a classification task. We have previously shown that interaction while learning allows the agents to converge upon a simpler solution, which in turns guarantees better generalization. This clearly shows the benefi...
