Individuals with bipolar disorder experience emotion regulation difficulties, even during remission, but are able to effectively employ emotion regulation strategies when instructed. We hypothesized that this puzzling discrepancy might be due to their maladaptive emotion regulation choices. To test this hypothesis, we used a previously validated paradigm (Sheppes, Scheibe, Suri, & Gross, 2011; ...

In a pursuit-evasion game, a team of pursuers attempt to capture an evader. The players alternate turns, move with equal speed, and have full information about the state of the game. We consider the most restictive capture condition: a pursuer must become colocated with the evader to win the game. We prove two general results about pursuit-evasion games in topological spaces. First, we show tha...

We revisit a classical problem in computational geometry: finding the largest-volume axis-aligned empty box (inside given bounding box) amidst n points d dimensions. Previously, best algorithms known have running time $$O(n\log ^2n)$$ for $$d=2$$ (Aggarwal and Suri 1987) near $$n^d$$ $$d\ge 3$$ . describe faster with following times (where $$\varepsilon >0$$ is an arbitrarily small constant $$\...

Fullerene-based Nanoelectronic Devices Show `Tremendous Potential' Researchers at the NAS Facility are examining the role of the fullerene structure -a form of carbon -in creating electronic devices for the next century. In this article, scientists Jie Han and Subhash Saini give a bird's-eye view of the transition from conventional CMOS-based semiconductor devices to quantum devices, and discus...

Mangroves of Andaman and Nicobar Islands are matter of concern in climate change scenario. Present area under mangroves was about 617 sq.km. which has been decreasing over the years(Forest Department A and N Islands 2009). The qualitative assessment indicates that mangroves are 10 folds superior to manmade defense systems in dealing with climate associated disasters (subhash etal. 2012). The to...
