The integration between psychology and Christianity has been a hot issue for Christian counselors since mid 1970s. The movement of integration has been developed in reaction to the acceptance of psychology in the area of pastoral counseling without any criticism about psychology from the Christian viewpoint. Since Jay Adams totally rejected psychology in the area of pastoral care, the effort to...

Since the Bible is regarded as the most important source of Christian iconography and iconography in return is the visual interpretation of the Bible, the relationship between Christian iconography and biblical interpretation is noteworthy. In some cases this relationship is such that the visual representation is actively involved in the interpretation of the biblical text and is...

We present a model for the radio outbursts of microquasars based on the assumption of quasi-continuous jet ejection. The jets arèlit up' by shock fronts trav-eling along the jets during outbursts. The shocks accelerate relativistic particles which emit the observed synchrotron radiation. The observed comparatively at decay light curves combined with gradually steepening spectral slopes are expl...

We conducted 4 experiments to examine how people incorporate visual information about strangers’ religious identities—religious badges—into their decisions about how much to trust them. Experiment 1 revealed that Christian and non-Christian participants were more trusting (as measured by self-report) of targets who wore a religious badge associated with Christianity (Ash Wednesday ashes) than t...

idiopathic lobular panniculitis, sometimes called relapsing febrile nodular panniculitis or weber christian disease first desribed in 1892 by pfeifer, is the term used to describe an group of disease that present as subcutaneous inflammatory nodules and histologically display an inflammatory focus primarily within the fat lobules. weber-christian disease is the term applied to idiopatic cases o...

A new optimization technique is proposed for classifiers fusion — Cooperative Coevolutionary Ensemble Learning (CCEL). It is based on a specific multipopulational evolutionary algorithm — cooperative coevolution. It can be used as a wrapper over any kind of weak algorithms, learning procedures and fusion functions, for both classification and regression tasks. Experiments on the real-world prob...

We produced a set of pseudoisochromatic plates for determining individual color-difference thresholds to assess test performance and test properties, and analyzed the results. We report a high test validity and classification ability for the deficiency type and severity level [comparable to that of the fourth edition of the Hardy-Rand-Rittler (HRR) test]. We discuss changes of the acceptable ch...

In T4 bacteriophage, 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) is incorporated into DNA during replication. In response, bacteria may have developed modification-dependent type IV restriction enzymes to defend the cell from T4-like infection. PvuRts1I was the first identified restriction enzyme to exhibit specificity toward hmC over 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and cytosine. By using PvuRts1I as the original me...
