Explicit self-representations often conflict with implicit and intuitive self-representations, with such discrepancies being seen as a source of psychological tension. Most of previous research on the psychological effects of mindfulness-meditation has assessed people's self-attitudes at an explicit level, leaving unknown whether mindfulness-meditation promotes changes on implicit self-represen...

In this paper we compute the three-loop corrections to the β function in a momentum subtraction (MOM) scheme with a massive quark. The calculation is performed in the background field formalism applying asymptotic expansions for small and large momenta. Special emphasis is devoted to the relation between the coupling constant in the MOM and MS schemes as well as their ability to describe the ph...

The method of moments (MOM) is used to estimate parameters in the LLd. setup in introductory statistics courses. This method, however, is quickly set aside in favor of the method of maximum likelihood (ML). The main justification for this is the asymptotic efficiency of ML estimates if the assumed model is correct. We will argue that, in some situations, MOM estimates are actually better than M...

The natural course of adverse events following the use of metal-on-metal (MoM) bearings in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is not well known. In this article, we report the case of a patient with asymptomatic major acetabular osteolysis following MoM THA that diminished gradually without any surgical intervention. A 58-year-old male underwent one-stage bilateral MoM THA for bilateral osteoarthriti...

Water-extractable organic carbon (WEOC) is considered as the most important (C) source for denitrifying organisms, but contribution of individual matter (OM) fractions (i.e., particulate (POM) and mineral-associated (MOM)) to its release and, thus, denitrification remains unresolved. Here we tested short-time effects POM MOM on potential estimated POM- MOM-derived WEOC CO 2 production three agr...

Mitochondria are separated from the remainder of the eukaryotic cell by the mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM). The MOM plays an important role in different transport processes like lipid trafficking and protein import. In yeast, the ER-mitochondria encounter structure (ERMES) has a central, but poorly defined role in both activities. To understand the functions of the ERMES, we searched for su...
