Dabrowski's (1972) theory of positive disintegration argues that anxiety appears to be the dynamic of self-actualization. A study to assess this hypothesis (Wilkins, Hjelle, & Thompson, 1977) reported that self-actualization was incompatible with chronic, debilitating or neurotic anxiety. The current study further examined the empirical and conceptual relation between anxiety and self-actualiza...

The SDI4Apps project has collected a large number of points of interest (POIs). This data set represents a seamless and open resource of POIs in Europe. Its principal target is to provide information for cycling as Linked data together with other data set containing road network. The POIs, which will be available for other users for download, search and reuse, will be helpful for other applicat...

In this paper we address one of the standard problems of image processing and computer vision: The detection of points of interest (POI). We propose two new approaches for improving the detection results. First, we define an energy tensor which can be considered as a phase invariant extension of the structure tensor. Second, we use the channel representation for robustly clustering the POI info...

The coverage of Points of Interest (PoI) is a classical requirement in mobile wireless sensor applications. Optimizing the sensors selfdeployment over a PoI while maintaining the connectivity between the sensors and the sink is thus a fundamental issue. This article addresses the problem of autonomous deployment of mobile sensors that need to cover a predefined PoI with a connectivity constrain...

Point-of-interest (POI) recommendation is an important application in location-based social networks (LBSNs), which learns the user preference and mobility pattern from check-in sequences to recommend POIs. However, previous POI recommendation systems model check-in sequences based on either tensor factorization or Markov chain model, which cannot capture contextual check-in information in sequ...

This paper introduces a new map browser of location based contents (LBC) that summarizes area characteristics. Recently various web map services have been widely used to search web contents. As LBC increase, browsing a number of LBC which are viewed as POI (point of interest) on a geographical map becomes inefficient. We tackle this issue by using AOI (area of interest) instead of POI. With the...

BACKGROUND The aim of our study was to investigate the possible relationship between polymorphisms in PTEN (the phosphatase and tensin homolog located on chromosome ten in humans) and POI (primary ovarian insufficiency) in Chinese women. METHODS Seven tag SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) - rs1234219, rs1903858, rs2299939, rs35352882, rs17107001, rs2299941 and rs12572106 - were chosen fr...

Perioperative hyperglycemia in critically ill surgery patients increases the risk of postoperative infection (POI), which is a common, and often costly, surgical complication. Hyperglycemia is associated with abnormalities in leukocyte function, including granulocyte adherence, impaired phagocytosis, delayed chemotaxis, and depressed bactericidal capacity. These leukocyte deficiencies are the c...

The primary goal of people accessing the Web from mobile phones is to find specific pieces of information (PoI, hereinafter), not to surf. Welldesigned sites for mobile users help them by minimizing the path needed to reach the desired PoI. We propose a further improvement, based on visualizing thematic update status (i.e., how many PoI have been added in each category and when). This can preve...
