This study examined the potential of 11 interoceptive exposure exercises to produce depersonalization and derealization among high anxiety-sensitive undergraduate students. Inspired by a February 2007 thread on the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies listserv, we identified nine exercises and compared their capacity to produce depersonalization and derealization with two previous...

This paper work leads to a working implementation of a Low Power DDR SDRAM Controller that is meant to be used as a reference for future implementations. . The DDR SDRAM is an enhancement to the traditional Synchronous DRAM. It supports data transfers on both edges of each clock cycle, effectively doubling the data throughput of the memory device. In this project Low Power Techniques are propos...

Amaç: Sağlık çalışmalarında gözlemsel araştırmalar, yaygın olarak kullanılan yöntemler arasında yer almakta olup, esas kohort, vaka-kontrol ve kesitsel çalışmalar gruplandırılırlar. Gözlemsel çalışmaların nasıl yürütülmesi gerektiğine dair esaslar 1965’li yıllarda tanımlanmış olsa da, günümüzde mevcut göz önüne alındığında, bunların raporlamasında yetersizliklerin olduğu görülmüştür. Bu nedenle...

Cognitive Agent communication is a field of research in full development. We propose here a model, based on the STROBE model, which regards the Agents as Scheme interpreters. These Agents are able to interpret messages of a conversation in both a given environment and an interpreter dedicated to the current conversation. These interpreters can moreover evolve dynamically progressively with the ...

Spatial localization is an important building block for wireless sensor networks. Beacons that know their position and serve as reference are a vital aspect of nearly every localization system. In this paper, we look at dense beacon placement, which has a significant impact on the overall quality of localization. Based on the premise that uniformly dense beacon placement is not practical, we mo...

Advanced and dynamic calibration techniques for maximising the link performance of parallel source–synchronous interfaces are introduced and demonstrated in this study, using as a case study a 533 MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory interface implemented in 90 nm standard complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS), whereas most of them have been validated at 800 MHz too. A novel dynamic strobe masking sy...

Seventy-five Ss trained on a pursuit rotor for 10 trials, with ambient illumination from a strobe light flashing at frequencies of either 2, 5, 10, 15, or 20/sec. A transfer trial followed, with a strobe flashing frequency of 10/sec for all Ss. Results supported hypotheses derived from Adams' (1971) closed-loop theory of motor learning that (a) performance would improve during training as a fun...

Background and Objectives: The results of cohort studies could be used in evidence-based medicine in case they have a good quality and robust methodology. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess the quality of cohort studies investigating preconception risk factors of gestational diabetes.   Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the cohort studies investigating the preconception risk ...
