a r t i c l e i n f o Conscientiousness is often found to predict academic outcomes, but is defined differently by different models of personality. High school students (N = 291) completed a large number of Conscientiousness items from different models and the Big Five Inventory (BFI). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis of the items uncovered Correlations between these facets and the ...

What is aesthetically pleasing and why? The answers to this question have immense practical implications for people such as advertisers, educators and broadcasters, as well as great theoretical importance for researchers in the social sciences. The question can be approached from a variety of different viewpoints; the sociologist, for example, might concentrate upon the role of social class or ...

The nearby Chamaeleon clouds have been observed in γ rays by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) and in thermal dust emission by Planck and IRAS. Cosmic rays and large dust grains, if smoothly mixed with gas, can jointly serve with the H i and 12CO radio data to (i) map the hydrogen column densities, NH, in the different gas phases, in particular at the dark neutral medium (DNM) transition bet...

BACKGROUND Psycho-immunology is an emerging branch of science which studies the interaction between the brain and the immune system. The purpose of this study is to identify the types of personality factors in patients with non-infectious uveitis and to find its association with a particular uveitic entity if any. This is a prospective, observational, case-control study of 186 patients with non...

One of the advantages of programmatic research is the ability to pursue important problems through a series of related projects. The results of one study, and particularly the questions which it raises, contribute to the formulation of further research through which greater refinement and understanding can be achieved. This process has been applied by the Human Relations Program to a number of ...

Despite its ubiquity in image data, a formal approach or precise definition of texture does not exist [1]. An acceptable approach is to describe texture as a repeating pattern of local variations in image intensity which are too fine to be distinguished as separate objects at the observed resolution [2]. Texture has been widely used in image segmentation, shape analysis, estimation of orientati...

The episodicity of 24 h leptin release was studied in seven women (mean age 39 years, range 22-56 years) with pituitary-dependent hypercortisolism and in seven age- and body mass index (BMI)-matched female controls. Pulsatile leptin release was quantified by model-free cluster analysis and deconvolution, the orderliness of leptin patterns by the approximate entropy statistic (ApEn), and nyctohe...

By Sean M. Carroll T he universe does not look right. That may seem like a strange thing to say, given that cosmologists have very little standard for comparison. How do we know what the universe is supposed to look like? Nevertheless, over the years we have developed a strong intuition for what counts as “natural”— and the universe we see does not qualify. Make no mistake: cosmologists have pu...

Background: Appropriate and timely response in urgent situations requires high knowledge, physical and mental preparedness. Since emergency medical technicians are the first professional respondents in the health system, selecting the right people among the candidates to study in this field is very important. Due to the fact that there was a no specific model in the country of Iran to propose t...
