Recently, concerns have been raised that adolescents’ prolific social media use may cause them to become less empathic. However, direct empirical evidence is missing and research suggests that social media use can also be beneficial for adolescents’ psychosocial development. The present study aims to investigate whether and how social media use influences empathy. We surveyed 942 Dutch adolesce...

Most mathematical models arising in stationary filtration processes as well as in the theory of soft shells can be described by single-valued or generalized multivalued pseudomonotone mixed variational inequalities with proper convex nondifferentiable functionals. Therefore, for finding the minimum norm solution of such inequalities, the current paper attempts to introduce a modified two-layer ...

The citrus industry in Florida faces a destructive endemic disease, known as huanglongbing (HLB), associated with Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus ( C Las), phloem-limited bacterium, and transmitted by the Asian psyllid (ACP). Rootstocks are regarded critical to keep production commercially viable help trees cope disease. Although most scions susceptible, some rootstocks HLB-tolerant may influ...

We have recently shown that the /3 subunit of thyrotropin (TSH) can be cross-linked to the TSH receptor [Buckland, Strickland, Pierce & Rees Smith (1985) Endocrinology (Baltimore) 116, 2122-2124; Buckland, Strickland & Rees Smith (1985) Biochem. Soc. Trans. 13, 942-943]. We failed, however, to cross-link the a subunit to the receptor; leaving the role of this subunit in the TSH-TSH-receptor int...
