objective: the interest in cosmetic surgery has increased dramatically during recent years and psychologists have focused on the associations of this interest. the present study aimed to compare cosmetic surgery patients and normal individuals in terms of their early maladaptive schemas (emss), body image (bi), and self-esteem, as well as investigate the relationships of emss and self-esteem wi...

DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) are abrasions caused in both strands of the DNA duplex following exposure to both exogenous and endogenous conditions. Such abrasions have deleterious effect in cells leading to genome rearrangements and cell death. A number of repair systems including homologous recombination (HR) and non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) have been evolved to minimize the fatal effe...

This paper reviews several types of self-repairing systems developed in the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory. We have developed a modular system capable of “self-assembly” and “self-repair.” The former means a set of units can form a given shape of the system without outside help; the latter means the system restores the original shape if an arbitrary part of the system is cut off. We show bot...

This paper proposes Built-In Self-Repair Analyzer (BISR) strategy with Redundancy which is an effective yieldenhancement strategy for embedded memories. It consists of a Built-In Self-Test (BIST) module, a Built-In Address-Analysis (BIAA) module and a Multiplexer (MUX) module. The BISR is designed flexible so that it can provide four operation modes to SRAM users. The feature of the proposed BI...

The present study aimed to explore whether focused written corrective feedback has any significant effect on improving undergraduate university students’ paragraph writing ability; if so, the study fur- ther sought to demonstrate whether this effect differs within high/low self-regulated learners or not. For the purpose of the study, 60 BA university students wer...
