OBJECTIVES Self-compassion has been associated with psychological health in young and multigenerational samples. This study investigated whether self-compassion may be associated with subjective well-being (positive affect [PA] and negative affect [NA]) and psychological well-being (ego integrity and meaning in life) in older adults. It also assessed the structure of the Self-Compassion Scale (...

Compassion has emerged as an important construct in studies of mental health and psychological therapy. Although an increasing number of studies have explored relationships between compassion and different facets of psychopathology there has as yet been no systematic review or synthesis of the empirical literature. We conducted a systematic search of the literature on compassion and mental heal...

The paper presents an analysis of the time reversal in independentmulti-path Rayleigh-fading channels with N inputs (transmitters) and M outputs (receivers). The main issues addressed are the condition of statistical stability, the rate of information transfer and the effect of pinholes. The stability condition is proved to be MC ≪ NeffB for broadband channels and M ≪ Neff for narrowband channe...

The importance of macrophysical variables [cloud thickness, liquid water path (LWP)] and microphysical variables (effective radius re, effective droplet concentration Neff) on warm drizzle intensity and frequency across the tropics and subtropics is studied. In this first part of a two-part study, Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) optical and CloudSat cloud radar data are us...

The studies by Neff on cats (Neff et al. 1950, 1956) have demostrated that bilateral ablations of the temporal cortex produce dramatic impairments of auditory cue localization. I t was considered useful to test his results by a completely different method, namely by utilizing go-no-go differentiation to two auditory stimuli, sounding from different places in standard conditioned reflex experime...
