Objective: The purposes of this study were to examine the relationships between personality traits, cognitive emotion regulation strategies and impulsive behaviors of borderline personality disorder, and to explore which personality traits and cognitive emotion regulation strategies can better predict and explain the impulsive behaviors in borderline personality disorder. Methods: This study...

The understanding of how the sub-nanoscale exchange interaction evolves in macroscale correlations and ordered phases of matter, such as magnetism and superconductivity, requires to bridging the quantum and classical worlds. This monumental challenge has so far only been achieved for systems close to their thermodynamical equilibrium. Here we follow in real time the ultrafast dynamics of the ma...

In systems having an anisotropic electronic structure, such as the layered materials graphite, graphene, and cuprates, impulsive light excitation can coherently stimulate specific bosonic modes, with exotic consequences for the emergent electronic properties. Here we show that the population of E_{2g} phonons in the multiband superconductor MgB_{2} can be selectively enhanced by femtosecond las...

In the present study, a computerized test was used to compare the attention level of a group of healthy older participants aged 75 with that of a group of students aged 31. The second part of the study examined only the older participants and sought to discover how three measures of lifestyle were related to measures of attention. The results showed that the young group performed better on meas...

A measurement system for the characterisation of impulsive noise at frequencies above 700 MHz is presented. The system consists of a pair of ultra-wideband (UWB) quasi-TEM horn antennas, a digital storage oscilloscope and an external hard disk. The particular application of interest is the recording of partial discharge and radiation arising from switching/fault transients in high-voltage elect...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to determine the influence of loading frequency on the failure of articular cartilage-on-bone specimens under three-point bending. METHODS In this study, cyclic three-point bending was used to introduce failure into cartilage-on-bone specimens at varying loading frequencies. Sinusiodally varying maximum compressive loads in the range 40-130 N were ap...

In this paper we are studying the power line channel noise in the frequency domain. The noise is measured using a spectrum analyzer. The channel noise profile is essential when OFDM is applied. Moreover, noise measurements are statistically processed in order to extract the probability density functions of the noise power for more than 120 different frequencies in the frequency range 1.15MHz-30...

The vibrational frequency of the I2 2 chromophore in size-selected I2 ~Ar!n and I2 ~CO2!n clusters has been measured to wave-number accuracy. The frequencies are determined by creating a coherent superposition of vibrational levels with a femtosecond laser pulse via a resonance impulsive stimulated Raman scattering process. The resulting wave-packet oscillations are detected with femtosecond ph...

A uniformly distributed hopping code (UDHC) suitable for M-levelled M-ary Frequency Shift Keying (MMFSK) and Multi-tone MMFSK (MFSK) modulation schemes is introduced. The proposed code is designed with the requirements that it utilises all the available frequencies within the symbol period and that it is uniformly distributed, thereby making it efficient in terms of spectral usage and also easi...

Ultrafast time-resolved reflectivity of a bismuth thin film evaporated on a silicon substrate is measured to investigate coherent phonons in bismuth. The reflectivity result is analyzed by a linear chirp approximation to obtain the time dependent frequencies of coherent phonons. Not only the optical modes are detected, which are generated by a combination of impulsive stimulated Raman scatterin...
