BACKGROUND Negative attentional biases are thought to increase the risk of recurrence in depression, suggesting that reduction of such biases may be a plausible strategy in the secondary prevention of the illness. However, no previous study has tested whether reducing negative attentional bias causally affects risk factors for depressive recurrence. The current experimental medicine study repor...

Abstract This century has been proclaimed the Asian century, as industrialised countries such Japan, Singapore, and South Korea, along with rapidly emerging nations China India, have contributed to worldwide economic growth. In response, research analysed reasons why business management found success. Based on a bibliometric analysis of Business & Management (ABM), premier journal devoted m...

Chitosan and Agaricus blazei Murill (ABM) extracts possess antitumor activities. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether chitosan, ABM extract or the two in combination were effective against tumors in tumor‑bearing mice. The mice were subcutaneously injected with SK-Hep 1 cells and were then were divided into the following six groups: Group 1, control group; group 2, chitosan 5...

An immune state of patient is the first question in medicine. The fluorescent probe offers clinicians a quick, reliable, and reproducible method. The material is presents findings of investigating the possibility of using the original fluorescent probe ABM (an aminoderivative of benzanthrone) for the detection of structural/functional alterations in blood plasma albumin and among immunocompeten...

Vaccinia uses actin-based motility for virion movement in host cells, but the specific protein components have yet to be defined. A cardinal feature of Listeria and Shigella actin-based motility is the involvement of vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP). This essential adapter recognizes and binds to actin-based motility 1 (ABM-1) consensus sequences [(D/E)FPPPPX(D/E), X = P or T] conta...

The Population Consequences of Disturbance (PCoD) model is a conceptual framework used to assess the potential for population-level consequences following exposure animals disturbance activity or stressor. This four-step process, progressing from changes in individual behavior and/or physiology, health, then vital rates, and finally effects. Despite its simplicity, there are few complete PCoD m...

The objective of this study is to present a formal agent-based modeling (ABM) platform that enables managers to predict and partially control patterns of behaviors in certain engineered complex adaptive systems (ECASs). The approach integrates social networks, social science, complex systems, and di↵usion theory into a consumer-based optimization and agent-based modeling (ABM) platform. Demonst...
