Let Θ = (α, β) be a point in R, with 1, α, β linearly independent over Q. We attach to Θ a quadruple Ω(Θ) of exponents which measure the quality of approximation to Θ both by rational points and by rational lines. The two “uniform” components of Ω(Θ) are related by an equation, due to Jarńık, and the four exponents satisfy two inequalities which refine Khintchine’s transference principle. Conve...

On the basis of MacAdam's data, we have computed a psychophysical function which characterizes the transference of the colour information processed by the human visual system in the chromatic frequency domain. This function, obtained using chromatic-discrimination criteria, shows a cut-off frequency between 0.01375 and 0.02 c/nm, depending upon the colour-tolerance units adopted.

Stalking is a thriving social and criminal concern and a risk inherent in our personal and professional lives. Health care professionals, particularly psychiatrists and other mental health practitioners, are vulnerable to being stalked by their patients and, far from providing helpful insights that discourage the behavior, their training can be a hindrance. Neither a psychiatrist's gender nor s...

We provide an extension to the infinitely-many marginals case of the martingale version of the Fréchet-Hoeffding coupling (which corresponds to the one-dimensional Brenier theorem). In the two-marginal context, this extension was obtained by Beiglböck & Juillet [7], and further developed by Henry-Labordère & Touzi [40], see also [6]. Our main result applies to a special class of reward function...

BACKGROUND The present paper is a manual for the Transference Work Scale (TWS). The inter-rater agreement on the 26 TWS items was good to excellent and previously published. TWS is a therapy process rating scale focusing on Transference Work (TW) (i.e. analysis of the patient-therapist relationship). TW is considered a core active ingredient in dynamic psychotherapy. Adequate process scales are...

This paper focuses on the real relationship with the analyst in the psychoanalytic situation as an aspect of the therapeutic process that leads to change. The role of free association, clarification, and interpretation of the transference are taken for granted as major activities of the analyst, and the real relationship with him is seen as a complementary but important ingredient for change. I...

OBJECTIVES To developed an evaluation of primary care (PC) from the analysis of the new differences in PC among the autonomous communities nowadays. DESIGN Cross ecological study. SETTING Spain. PARTICIPANTS The 17 autonomous communities. MEASUREMENTS Indicators of service supplies, diagnostic and therapeutic resolution habilities, access to hospital diagnostic, relationship and access ...

Although rigorous measures of similarity for sequence and structure are now well established, the problem of defining functional relationships has been particularly daunting. Here, we present several manifold embedding techniques to compute distances between Gene Ontology (GO) functional annotations and consequently estimate functional distances between protein domains. To evaluate accuracy, we...

Psychoanalytically oriented partial hospital treatment for BPD has been shown to be more effective than treatment as usual in a randomized controlled trial and over 18 months of follow-up. Focus of treatment, in the context of group and individual psychotherapy, was on increasing the patient’s capacity for mentalization, the capacity to think about mental states of oneself and others as separat...
