Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a cognitive behavioural treatment initially developed for adult women with a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (BPD) and a history of chronic suicidal behaviour (Linehan, 1993a; 1993b). DBT was the first treatment for BPD to demonstrate its efficacy in a randomised controlled trial (Linehan, Armstrong, Suarez, Allmon & Heard, 1991). Adaptations ...

In this paper, we introduce fractional order of a planar fractional prey-predator system with a nonmonotonic functional response and anti-predator behaviour such that the adult preys can attack vulnerable predators. We analyze the existence and stability of all possible equilibria. Numerical simulations reveal that anti-predator behaviour not only makes the coexistence of the prey and predator ...

Program comprehension is an important component of many software development activities, including teaching, debugging, maintenance, reuse and reengineering. This has lead to a number of di erent approaches to developing software tools to aid in program comprehension. In some cases, the aim is to present a program and/or its behaviour in a form that helps a user to understand its structure and/...

a non-linear finite element model could be a useful tool in the development of a method of predicting soil pressure-sinkage behaviour, and can be used to investigate and analyze soil compaction. this study was undertaken to emphasize that the finite element method (fem) is a proper technique to model soil pressure-sinkage behaviour. for this purpose, the finite element method was used to model ...

in order to determine the relationship between knowledge, attitude and health behaviour among menopausud women, a random sample of 250 menopaused women was studied. the data was collected by using a questionnaire and analysed by the spss programe. the study showed that seventy woman (28%) had good knowledge, only twenty seven women (11%) had a positive attitude, and forty women (16%) had good h...
