INTRODUCTION Self-concealment reflects uncomfortable feelings, thoughts, and information people have about themselves that they avoid telling others (Larson & Chastain, 1990). According to Larson and Chastain (1990) these secrets range from the slightly embarrassing to the very distressing with an individual's most traumatic experiences often concealed. Parental attitudes including those involv...

If users are expected to depend on answers from applications and services on the web, they need to have methods for asking for information that will increase their understanding and their trust in the answers. One way of increasing a user’s understanding and trust is to provide a summarized or detailed description of how the answer was obtained. This process would typically depend on some kind ...

Wikidata is one of the most important sources structured data on web, built by a worldwide community volunteers. As secondary source, its contents must be backed credible references; this particularly important, as explicitly encourages editors to add claims for which there no broad consensus, long they are corroborated references. Nevertheless, despite essential link between content and refere...

and its diagnosis and treatment, rather than on the morphology of the parasites. However, the various complex life cycles and other details of zoology which are pertinent are greatly clarified by an abundance of excellent illustrations, original and otherwise. Of special value for reference purposes are many tables summarizing important laboratory and clinical data, as well as an entire section...

With the recent growth of Linked Data on the Web there is an increased need for knowledge engineers to find ontologies to describe their data. Only limited work exists that addresses the problem of searching and ranking ontologies based on a given query term. In this paper we introduce DWRank, a two-staged bi-directional graph walk ranking algorithm for concepts in ontologies. DWRank characteri...

Ordering search results collected from multiple sources is a challenge to metasearch engines. We present an “autonomous” ranking method, meaning one that does not depend on the individual rankings returned by the engines participating in the search. Instead, it applies our TOPIC method for evaluating the reputation of a web page on a topic [7, 6] to the problem of ranking the results to a query...

Rapidly increasing volumes of news feeds from diverse data sources, such as online newspapers, Twitter and online blogs are proving to be extremely valuable resources in helping anticipate, detect, and forecast outbreaks of rare diseases. This paper presents SourceSeer, a novel algorithmic framework that combines spatio-temporal topic models with sourcebased anomaly detection techniques to effe...

When comparing fathers' and mothers' hostility [as measured by the Cook and Medley (2954) Hostility (Ho) Scale], fathers' Ho was more strongly predictive of: (a) the patterns of authority exercised in the home (both Authoritarianism and Authoritativeness), and (b) adolescent self-esteem. These findings suggest that the behavioral and emotional consequences of Ho are different for men and women,...

Along with proving the sufficiency of the Qur’ān for the extraction of the religious knowledge, the Qur’ānists have doubted the authenticity and the authoritativeness of the sunna and Ḥadīth. One of their reasons for the inauthenticity of the sunna is the inefficiency of the Ḥadīth evaluation and criticism system. Using a descriptive-analytical method, the present study first analyzes their mai...

One of the most important foundations of knowing and interpreting the Qur’ān, the Torah, and the Gospel is the belief in the infallibility and impeccability of the words and propositions of these divine scriptures. If the verses and statements of the noble Qur’ān and the Testaments during the revelation era and the ensuing times have been afflicted with distortion and contradiction, then they c...
