OBJECTIVE To investigate possible correlations between the tendency towards alexithymia and the depressive state, globally and with regard to the Toronto Alexithymia scale (TAS-20) subscales and the Hamilton rating scale for depression (HAM-D) subscales. METHODS 75 patients, suffering from Unipolar Depression, were assessed through the HAM-D and the TAS-20 and compared to the control group (n...

The end-over-end rotational motion of nematic-phase molecules was examined by an isobaric-isothermal molecular-dynamics simulation for a Gay-Berne mesogenic system. The result was compared with the MeierSaupe theory and the previous result obtained from a molecular-dynamics simulation for the same Gay-Berne model at constant volume in order to examine the influence of volume fluctuation on nema...

In this note we report on some new results [1] on corrections to the Casimir-Polder [2] retardation force due to atomic motion and present a preliminary (unpublished) critique on one recently proposed cavity QED detection scheme of Unruh effect [3]. These two well-known effects arise from the interaction between a moving atom or detector with a quantum field under some boundary conditions intro...
