Being the max-analogue of α-stable stochastic processes, max-stable processes form one fundamental classes processes. With arrival sufficient computational capabilities, they have become a benchmark in analysis spatiotemporal extreme events. Simulation is often necessary part inference certain characteristics, particular for future spatial risk assessment. In this article, we give an overview o...

Objective: Borderline personality disorder is one of the most severe psychiatric disorders. The purpose of this study was to predict distress tolerance, impulsivity and aggression based on emotional dysregulation and reward sensitivity among individuals with borderline personality disorder features. Methods: The statistical population of the present research was undergraduate students of Shahi...

Recent theories propose that testosterone should be positively related to risk-taking, but empirical support is mixed. Building on the dual-hormone hypothesis, the present research tested whether testosterone's role in risk-taking depends on cortisol. Study 1 (N=115) tested this hypothesis in a mixed-sex sample with self and informant reports of risk-taking. Study 2 (N=165) tested this hypothes...

Impairments in executive functioning are commonly found in Parkinson's disease (PD); however, the research into risky decision making has been mixed. The present study sought to investigate three potential hypotheses: difficulty learning the task probabilities, levodopa equivalent dose (LED), and the presence of apathy. Twenty-four individuals with idiopathic PD and 13 healthy controls complete...

BACKGROUND Angiopeptin, a synthetic somatostatin analogue, reduces myointimal hyperplasia after experimental balloon angioplasty when given subcutaneously. The feasibility and efficacy of a single dose of angiopeptin delivered locally via the Wolinsky porous balloon on myointimal hyperplasia were studied. METHODS AND RESULTS Three rabbits received 125I-angiopeptin in the mid abdominal aorta v...

INTRODUCTION Patients undergoing cardiac surgery increasingly have greater comorbidities and subsequently are at higher risk of adverse postoperative outcomes. Despite some evidence suggests that prophylactic intraaortic balloon counterpulsation reduces mortality in selected high-risk patients, its use remains low. The aim of this study was to investigate reported management strategies of high-...
