Ripples in the Reflecting Pool: Narcissistic Subtypes and Reactions to Past Relationship Events

The present study examined whether normal (i.e., adaptive) or pathological (i.e., maladaptive) aspects of narcissism were associated with more negative perceptions of a current romantic relationship following the written recollection of a negative relationship event. We predicted that individuals with high scores on the maladaptive facet of the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (i.e., exploita...

Existence of an Erythropoitic labile iron pool

Physical distinction between rolling-grain ripples and vortex ripples: an experimental study.

We have performed an experimental study of the transition of rolling-grain ripples toward vortex ripples. In particular, we have looked for the influence of the grains' diameter, the frequency of oscillation, and the grains' cohesion. We demonstrate that the rolling-grain ripples are transient patterns which do appear as soon as we are close to the threshold for grain motion, whereas vortex rip...

Optimal Decision Making Framework of an Electric Vehicle Aggregator in Future and Pool markets

Electric vehicle (EV) aggregator, as an agent between the electricity market and EV owners, participates in the future and pool market to supply EVs’ requirement. Because of the uncertain nature of pool prices and EVs’ behaviour, this paper proposed a two-stage scenario-based model to obtain optimal decision making of an EV aggregator. To deal with mentioned uncertainties, the aggregator’s risk...

Group training in a pool causes ripples on the water: experiences by persons with late effects of polio.

The purpose of the present qualitative study was to describe how persons with late effects of polio experienced dynamic exercise in water in a group. Semi-structured interviews with 15 participants were carried out and analysed according to the phenomenographic approach. The results showed great variation in the way the participants experienced the group training. Fourteen different categories ...
