This chapter explores the issue of evaluative consistency and context-dependence by considering when stability or flexibility in evaluative responding would be most useful for the social organism. We propose that cues about distance functionally shape evaluations to flexibly incorporate information from their current context when individuals are acting on proximal stimuli, but to Advances in Ex...

This paper continues the study of stochastic maps, or channels, for which (I ⊗Φ)(Γ) is always separable in the case of qubits. We give a detailed description of entanglement-breaking qubit channels, and show that such maps are precisely the convex hull of those known as classical-quantum channels. We also review the complete positivity conditions in a canonical parameterization and show how the...

Abstract Conversions and semi-annihilations of dark matter (DM) particles in addition to the standard DM annihilations are considered in a three-component DM system. We find that the relic abundance of DM can be very sensitive to these non-standard DM annihilation processes, which has been recently found for two-component DM systems. To consider a concrete model of a three-component DM system, ...

Concern at the effect of winter pasture residuals on pasture productivity led to the comparison of different wintering systems at the DRC No. 3 Dairy from May-December 1993. Three farmlets were designed to have 2000 kg DM/ha average farm cover at calving, but with pastures grazed to either 900, 1400 or 1800 kg DM/ha at least once during the winter. A fourth farmlet was spelled from grazing from...

Background: Early and non-invasive determination of blood glucose level is of great importance. We aimed to present a new technique to accurately infer the blood glucose concentration in peripheral blood flow using non-invasive optical monitoring system. Methods: The data for the research were obtained from 900 individuals. Of them, 750 people had diabetes mellitus (DM). The system was ...

conclusions identifying the needs of children and adolescents with dm-1 in terms of self-care and education may help them to have better performance in management, control, and prevention of dm complications. results the items were quantified on a five-point likert scale. with regard to nutrition, 36.4% of children and 40.9% of adolescents had moderate performance. moreover, 56.3% of children a...

background: most research on autonomic dysfunction of diabetes mellitus is conducted on ganglions innervating gastrointestinal (gi) tract and there are limited works focusing on cervical sympathetic ganglia. the effects of diabetes mellitus (dm) on the neurons of superior cervical sympathetic ganglion (scsg) are investigated by stereological methods.   material and methods: female rats (n=72) r...
