In social interactions, individuals may sometimes pursue their own interests at the expense of their interaction partner. Such self-interested behaviors impose a threat to the interaction partner's freedom to act. The current article investigates this threat in the context of interdependence and reactance theory. We explore how vested interests influence reactance process stages of an advisor-c...

Often when performing electrical bioimpedance (EBI) spectroscopy measurements, the obtained EBI data present a hook-like deviation, which is most noticeable at high frequencies in the impedance plane. The deviation is due to a capacitive leakage effect caused by the presence of stray capacitances. In addition to the data deviation being remarkably noticeable at high frequencies in the phase and...

The voltage difference between the two arms of the antenna is On the right is Fig. 86 from [2]. In general the electric field is related to the scalar and vector potentials by E = −∇V − ∂A/∂t = −∇V + iωA, assuming a time dependence of the form e−iωt. Then, ∫ 2 1 E · dl = V1 − V2 + iω ∫ 2 1 A · dl. However, close to a small linear dipole antenna the electric field is much larger than the magneti...

Warning labels on violent television programs give viewers discretionary advice and, therefore, might arouse reactance in viewers of all ages. Information labels give viewers information but no advice and, therefore, should not arouse reactance. Five age groups were tested: 9-11 year olds, 12-14 year olds, 15-17 years olds, 18-20 year olds, and adults at least 21 years old. Participants (N5900)...

This study examined smokers’ reactions to antismoking messages that emphasized either the harms of secondhand smoke or vulnerability to smoking addiction and framed the need for smoking cessation using either gain or loss message frames. One hundred fifty-four college smokers participated in a study that used a 2 x 2 factorial design crossing message type (secondhand smoke appeals, smoking addi...

This paper proves the invariance of the second-order modes of continuous-time systems under general frequency transformation, that is, under reactance function. The invariance is proved by obtaining the state-space representation of the transformed system, and its controllability / observability grammians in terms of those of the original system and the reactance system. This invariance propert...

Due to the advantages of a self-excited induction generator (SEIG), it plays main role in sources renewable energy, such as wind turbines (WT). The regulation terminal voltage and frequency is poor under variable rotor speed load conditions at stand-alone operation mode. depends on excitation capacitance which can be controlled by capacitor bank static compensator. dynamical model machine descr...

Title of Dissertation: THE DYNAMICS OF REACTANCE AND COGNITIVE STRUCTURE: REACTANCE, RESTORATION, AND TIME. Elena Bessarabova, Ph.D., 2010 Directed By: Professor Edward L. Fink and Professor Monique M. Turner, Department of Communication This dissertation examined the effects of freedom-limiting communication on attitude structures at three points in time. A 2 (Threat to freedom: low threat vs....

Background It is well known that increased airflow limitation as measured by spirometry is associated with the risk of exacerbation in patients with COPD. The forced oscillation technique (FOT) is a noninvasive method used to assess respiratory impedance (resistance and reactance) with minimal patient cooperation required. The clinical utility of the FOT in assessing the risk of exacerbations o...
