BACKGROUND Individuals may make a rational decision not to engage in healthy behaviours based on their assessment of the benefits of such behaviours to them, compared to other uncontrollable threats to their health. Anticipated survival is one marker of perceived uncontrollable threats to health. We hypothesised that greater anticipated survival: a) is cross-sectionally associated with healthie...

Abstract: The three-phase uncontrollable rectifiers are still widely applied, at present, in kinds of household appliances, because of its low cost, simple structure and excellent applicability. There are no LC filters in some simplified schematics. Sometimes, filter inductors are connected between rectifiers and power grids. For some higher requirements the three-phase passive power factor cor...

Using spinally transected rats, research has shown that neurons within the L4-S2 spinal cord are sensitive to response-outcome (instrumental) relations. This learning depends on a form of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-mediated plasticity. Instrumental training enables subsequent learning, and this effect has been linked to the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor. Rats given uncontroll...
