This article provides a particular view on the use of Functional Analytical Psychotherapy (FAP) in a group therapy format. This view is based on the author’s experiences as a supervisor of Functional Analytical Psychotherapy Groups, including groups for wo men with depression and groups for chronic pain patients. The contexts in which this approach emerged are presented. With the help of the te...

The deployment of desktop videoconferencing, also known as Video and Voice over IP (VVoIP), over existing IP networks is gaining popularity these days. Such a deployment has become a major and challenging task for data network researchers and designers. This paper presents an analytic approach for deploying videoconferencing. The approach utilizes queueing network analysis and investigates two ...

The Bethe–Salpeter formalism in the instantaneous approximation for the interaction kernel entering into the Bethe–Salpeter equation represents a reasonable framework for the description of bound states within relativistic quantum field theory. In contrast to its further simplifications (like, for instance, the so-called reduced Salpeter equation), it allows also the consideration of bound stat...

Version française abrégée Soit G un groupe de Lie connexe de dimension d dont l’algèbre de Lie G a pour base (X1, . . . , Xd). Soient (Bt)t∈IR+ un mouvement brownien à valeurs dans G, et N une mesure aléatoire de Poisson sur G× IR+, d’intensité μ(dσ)dt. Soit H l’ensemble des fonctions de Cc(G× IR+) qui s’annulent sur {e} × IR+ et telles que σ 7→ f(σ, t) est différentiable en e, t ∈ IR+. Nous dé...

Usenet is a widely popular system for organizing and distributing asynchronous discussions, but the newsgroup hierarchies and messages ÒthreadsÓ of Usenet do little to assist users in navigating through the hundreds of thousands of messages that appear on a single day. Messages may be cross-posted to newsgroups in different, even unrelated hierarchies, and threads wander off-topic as people fol...

This work presents an analytical approach to the design of a gesture vocabulary (GV) using multiobjectives for psycho-physiological and gesture recognition factors. A meta-heuristic approach is taken by decomposing the problem into two sub-problems: (i) finding the subsets of gestures that meet a minimal accuracy requirement, and (ii) matching gestures to commands to maximize the human factors ...

We present a method for symbolic calculation of Feynman amplitudes for processes involving both massless and massive fermions. With this approach fermion strings in a specific amplitude can be easily evaluated and expressed as basic Lorentz scalars. The new approach renders the symbolic calculation of some complicated physical processes more feasible and easier, especially with the assistance o...

We present a methodology to analyze and visualize an ensemble of finite pointset method (FPM) simulations that model the viscous fingering process of salt solutions inside water. In course of the simulations the solutions form structures with increased salt concentration called viscous fingers. These structures are of primary interest to domain scientists as it is not clear when and where visco...

Through analytic techniques verified by numerical calculations, we establish general relations between the matter and cosmic microwave background (CMB) power spectra and their dependence on cosmological parameters on small scales. Fluctuations in the CMB, baryons, cold dark matter (CDM), and neutrinos receive a boost at horizon crossing. Baryon drag on the photons causes alternating acoustic pe...
