Self-concealment and mindfulness can be viewed as two fairly stable emotion/behavior regulation tendencies, which are often linked to a range of internalizing problems. The current study examined whether low levels of mindfulness and higher levels of self-concealment predict higher levels of depression, anxiety, and somatization for both men and women. An ethnically diverse sample of college un...

OBJECTIVE Self-concealment is the predisposition to hide negative personal information. The present research examined whether self-concealment was associated with acute and chronic pain. METHODS In Study 1, undergraduate students (N = 44) completed an online questionnaire packet and then completed a cold-pressor task in the laboratory. In Study 2, individuals with chronic pain (N = 85) comple...

In audio communication over a lossy packet network, concealment techniques are used to mitigate the effects of lost packets. This concealment is markedly improved if the compressed representation retains redundancy to aid in the estimation of lost information. A perceptual audio coder employing multiple description correlating transforms demonstrates this phenomenon.

For entropy-coded MPEG-4 images, a transmission error in a codeword may cause the underlying codeword and its subsequent codewords within a video packet to be misinterpreted, resulting in great degradation of the received MPEG-4 images. Here a transmission error may be a single-bit error or a burst error. In this study, a postprocessing approach to detection and concealment of transmission erro...

2. The authors’ assertion: “computer-generated block randomization done independently by the USA based study statistician” is not found either in the Supplementary data [1] or the published trial protocol [2]. The published paper [1] states that the external statistician performed allocation concealment (and not random sequence generation). The Commentary [3] already reported that allocation co...
