This article investigates whether gender imbalance may be conducive to domestic terrorism in developing countries. A female-dominated society may not provide sufficient administration, law, or order to limit domestic terrorism, especially since societies in developing countries primarily turn to males for administration, policing, and paramilitary forces. Other economic considerations support f...

Disk imbalance is a condition in which the center of mass of a rotating disk is not coincident with the center of rotation. Imbalance in a rotor system is unavoidable and it cannot be completely eliminated. Due to some reasons, such as porosity in casting, non-uniform density of material, manufacturing tolerances, and gain or loss of material during the operation, there is imbalance in rotors. ...

BACKGROUND Spinal sagittal imbalance is a widely acknowledged problem, but there is insufficient knowledge regarding its occurrence. In some patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH), their symptom is similar to spinal sagittal imbalance. The aim of this study is to illustrate the spinopelvic sagittal characteristics and identity the role of spinal musculature in the mechanism of sagittal imba...

We study the trading of individual investors using transaction data and identifying buyeror seller-initiated trades. We document four results: (1) Small trade order imbalance correlates well with order imbalance based on trades from retail brokers. (2) Individual investors herd. (3) When measured annually, small trade order imbalance forecasts future returns; stocks heavily bought underperform ...

Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion is associated with the generation of reactive oxygen metabolites as well as remote, oxidant-mediated lung injury. Oxidants elicit endothelial redox imbalance and loss of vascular integrity by disorganizing several junctional proteins that contribute to the maintenance and regulation of the endothelial barrier. To determine the specific effect of redox imbalance o...

In this paper we discuss the effects of non-algorithmic load imbalance for three synchronization structures which appear in different algorithms using domain decomposition methods for solving PDE's on a hypercube machine. The synchronization structures are determined from the conditions related to the partitioning of a hypercube. To characterize the load imbalance effects we introduce a factor ...

Although the chemical imbalance theory is the dominant causal explanation of depression in the United States, little is known about the effects of this explanation on depressed individuals. This experiment examined the impact of chemical imbalance test feedback on perceptions of stigma, prognosis, negative mood regulation expectancies, and treatment credibility and expectancy. Participants endo...

The psychobiological basis of reactive aggression, a condition characterized by uncontrolled outbursts of socially violent behavior, is unclear. Nonetheless, several theoretical models have been proposed that may have complementary views about the psychobiological mechanisms involved. In this review, we attempt to unite these models and theorize further on the basis of recent data from psycholo...

This contribution analytically studies the influence of IQ mismatch on the performance of multiple-antenna orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems based on the zero-IF architecture. First a system model for such a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) OFDM system experiencing both transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) IQ imbalance is derived. This is used to obtain analytical exp...
