In this work we study the asymptotic behavior of solutions for a general linear second-order evolution differential equation in time with fractional Laplace operators $\mathbb{R}^n$. We obtain improved decay estimates less demand on initial data when compared to previous results literature. certain cases, observe that dissipative structure is regularity-loss type. Due special structure, get hig...

Using data from parents of 761 infants from 6 independent samples, short (91 items, 14 scales) and very short (37 items, 3 broad scales) forms of the Infant Behavior Questionnaire-Revised (IBQ-R), a well-established caregiver report measure of temperament for infants aged 3 to 12 months, were developed. The forms were subsequently evaluated with data from 1,619 participants from 11 samples. Ove...

During an Internet distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack, attackers pose as a superpower overloading bandwidth and services that otherwise would have been lightly used by genuine users. These legitimate users send few packets and occasionally back-off and fail while competing for resources. The Internet architecture provides only modest support for verifying the true origin of a packet or...

Among subjects affected by tinnitus, two groups are distinguished: patients who can cope positively with the symptom and patients who cannot cope with it. These differing attitudes suggest the necessity to study affected patients' "illness behavior" (i.e., a subjective interpretation of symptoms concerning body functioning). Our study considered 125 idiopathic tinnitus sufferers who requested a...

Background and aims While the association between health anxiety and maladaptive Internet use is a well-established finding, no studies have been performed to examine the possible effect of abnormal illness behavior (AIB). AIB is a maladaptive manner of experiencing, evaluating, or acting in response to health and illness that is disproportionate to evident pathology. The aim of this study was ...

OBJECTIVE Illness behaviors (cognitive, affective, and behavioral reactions) among individuals with systemic sclerosis (SSc; scleroderma) are of clinical concern due to relationships between these behaviors and physical and mental quality of life, such as pain and symptoms of depression. Self-report measures with good psychometric properties can aid in the accurate assessment of illness behavio...

Indicators of temperament appear early in infancy and remain relatively stable over time. Despite a great deal of interest in biological indices of temperament, most studies of infant temperament rely on parental reports or behavioral tasks. Thus, the extent to which commonly used temperament measures relate to potential biological indicators of infant temperament is still relatively unknown. T...

Thirty patients diagnosed as Conversion Disorder and Somatization Disorder on DSM-III were investigated using IBQ and EPI. The patients differed with the controls on all the 7 factors of illness dimensions. They scored higher on neuroticism and low on extroversion.

The reliability and validity of the Infant Behavior Questionnaire-Revised was examined in a sample of 6-month-old infants and their parents. One hundred and fifteen mothers and 79 fathers completed the IBQ-R and a measure of depression and 98 infants participated in a laboratory assessment of temperament. Internal consistency reliability was adequate for all 14 IBQ-R subscales for both mothers ...
