We construct a general type of multivortex solutions of the self-duality equations (the Bogomol'nyi equations) of (2+1) dimensional relativis-tic Chern-Simons model with the non-topological boundary condition near innnity. For such construction we use a modiied version of the Newton iteration method developed by Kantorovich.

OBJECTIVES To present the implications of agency theory in microeconomics, augmented by behavioral economics, for different methods of value-based payment in health care; and to derive a set of future research questions and policy recommendations based on that conceptual analysis. DATA SOURCES Original literature of agency theory, and secondarily behavioral economics, combined with applied re...

Structural equation modeling [1] has been used in a variety of research applications in the social and behavioral sciences. A broad-spectrum aim of SEM can be expressed as testing the hypothesis that the population-level covariance matrix for a set of measured indicator variables is equal to the model-implied covariance matrix based on the hypothesized factor model. And, this relationship can b...

We present an interactive virtual reality platform for studying the role of embodied social interaction in the context of language learning. The virtual environment consists of virtual objects, a virtual table, and most importantly, a set of virtual students with different social-cognitive skills. Real users are asked to serve as language teachers and teach virtual learners object names. They c...

Although the architecture of mixed reality spaces are becoming increasingly more complex, our understanding of human behavior in such spaces is still limited. Despite the sophisticated models deployed in psychology and behavioral biology to track and analyze the actions and movements of animals, we rarely find studies that focus on the understanding of human social behavior using such instrumen...

aim and background: the behavioral inhibition system (bis) and the behavioral activation system (bas) are considered as factors to verify the effects of personality significance on cortical activity. the present study explored the effects of the bis and bas on frontal asymmetry in response to affect stimuli. methods and materials: this study included 36 individuals (18 with high bas sensitivity...

introduction: the purpose of the current study was to investigate the effect of training behavior modification methods to mothers of children with attention deficit disorder (adhd) on reducing behavior problems and adhd symptoms in their children’s. method: the research method was quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test design and cotrol group. to do so, 24 mothers of children with adhd ...
