The intensity of negative emotions associated with event memories fades to a greater extent over time than positive emotions (Fading Affect Bias or FAB). In this study, we examine how the presence and behaviour of a listener during social disclosure influences the FAB and the linguistic characteristics of event narratives. Participants recalled pleasant and unpleasant events and rated each even...

The current study is the first to investigate neural correlates of infants' detection of pro- and antisocial agents. Differences in ERP component P400 over posterior temporal areas were found during 6-month-olds' observation of helping and hindering agents (Experiment 1), but not during observation of identically moving agents that did not help or hinder (Experiment 2). The results demonstrate ...

Background It is often said that Christmas and Public Holidays has an influence on people’s physical, social and emotional well-being, and Christmas is furthermore associated with traditions and family gatherings. But for some people Christmas does not bring joy or good memories; especially for the elderly with chronic diseases, bad family relations or no family at all, Christmas can be a troub...

This paper surveys a few aspects of the global theory of wave equations. This material is structured around the contents of a minicourse given by the second author during the CMI/ETH Summer School on evolution equations during the Summer of 2008.

The Center for the Management of Information (CMI) at the University of Arizona worked with the US Navy Commander, Third Fleet (Third Fleet) to overcome limitations of performing closely coordinated staff work on board a US Navy ship. Third Fleet is required to collaborate with hundreds of people internally and with military and civilian organizations both nationally and internationally. Third ...

and concrete statements A rudimentary analysis of the qualities of the self-concept generated compared abstract and concrete statements. Echoing the findings of Kuhn and McPartland (1954), 80% of participants’ first selfconcepts were concrete (e.g. I am a singer; I am a daughter). There were no significant differences in fluency or personal importance based on concrete/abstract analysis (p > .4...

The demand of self-testing proportionally increases with memory size in System on Chip (SoC). SoC architecture normally occupies the majority of its area by memories. Due to increase in density of embedded memories, there is a need of self-testing mechanism in SoC design. Therefore, this research study focuses on this problem and introduces a smooth solution for self-testing.  In the proposed m...
