RMS Pictorial Scale (RMS-PS): An innovative scale for the assessment of child′s dental anxiety

Beam Distributions Beyond RMS

The beam is often represented only by its position (mean) and the width (rms = root mean squared) of its distribution. To achieve these beam parameters in a noisy condition with high backgrounds, a Gaussian distribution with offset (4 parameters) is fitted to the measured beam distribution. This gives a very robust answer and is not very sensitive to background subtraction techniques. To get hi...

The large - scale rms bulk velocity estimated from QSOs ’ Ly α forests

We propose a method for estimating the large-scale rms bulk velocity of the cosmic mass field from the transmitted fluxes of Lyα forests. It is based on two linear relationships on large scales: 1) the relation between the fluctuations of the transmission and the underlying density field, and 2) the relation between the density fluctuations and the peculiar velocity field. We show that, with a ...

P112: Psychometric Properties of Separation Anxiety Assessment Scale (Parent Version)

Separation anxiety disorder (SAD) is the most commonly diagnosed and impairing childhood anxiety disorder. Given that SAD symptoms in early childhood have been linked to later psychopathology, early identification and treatment of it is critical. The aim of the present study was the examination of validity and reliability of separation anxiety assessment scale-parent version (SAAS-P) (Hahn, Haj...

Improved RMS for the PC environment

Discrete-time windows with minimal RMS bandwidth for given RMS temporal width

We derive a family of discrete window functions for the N-point Fourier transform for application in spectral analysis that optimize the root mean square (RMS) frequency width sω for a given temporal RMS width st. The window family yields as a byproduct the minimum time-bandwidth product sωst for given st and N. The new windows interpolate for decreasing st between the popular Cosine-window and...
