Exposure-based cognitive behavioral therapy (“exposure therapy”) is the most effective psychological treatment for anxiety disorders. However, popular exposure-based treatments differ substantially in how exposure is delivered, and emerging research indicates that the effectiveness of exposure is closely tied to its manner of delivery. The author will present research indicating tha...

Suppose that each member of a set of agents has a preference list of a subset of houses, possibly involving ties, and each agent and house has their capacity denoting the maximum number of houses/agents (respectively) that can be matched to him/her/it. We want to find a matching M , called popular, for which there is no other matching M ′ such that more agents prefer M ′ to M than M to M ′, sub...

Adaptationism has prompted many a debate in philosophy of biology but the focus is usually on empirical and explanatory issues rather than methodological adaptationism (MA). Likewise, the context of evolutionary biology has provided the grounding for most discussions of the heuristic role of adaptationism. This paper extends the debate by drawing on case studies from physiology and systems biol...

This paper explores security issues of storage in the cloud and the methodologies that can be used to improve the security level. This study is concluded with a discussion of current problems and the future direction of cloud computing. Big data analysis can also be classified into memory level analysis, business intelligence (BI) level analysis, and massive level analysis. This research paper ...

Cloud Computing has been widely used since it brings tremendous improvements in business. Cloud us...

The traditional view has been that Cognitive Linguistics (CL) is incompatible with formalization. Cognitive linguistics is serious about embodiment and grounding, including imagery and image-schemas, force-dynamics, real-time processing, discourse considerations, mental spaces, context, and so on. It remains true that some properties of embodied language, such as context sensitivity, can not be...

OBJECTIVE To estimate the effect of "Seguro Popular" (SP) on the incidence of catastrophic health expenditure (CHE) and out-of-pocket (OOP) health expenditure in the medium term. MATERIAL AND METHODS We used the 'Encuesta de Evaluación del SP' --SP Survey Evaluation-- (2005-2008). We analyzed the SP effect on the rural cohort during two years of follow-up (2006 and 2008) and in the urban coho...

A new high rate binary linear block code construction technique, named as Geometric Construction (GC) codes, was proposed recently [1]. It generates all the even full information rate (optimal) Hamming distance – 4 codes. In this paper, we have enhanced the construction of GC codes with respect to code rate and derived a code family of hamming distance-8 GC codes.
