In this study, we had 72 typically developing 9- 13-year-old children play with an immersive version implemented head-mounted display (HMD) non-immersive employing flat screen (FSD) counterbalanced order ...

Abstract Introduction Female sexual dysfunctions (FSD) can influence mental and physical health, causing limitations in the ability to respond or enjoy pleasure. Obesity is related diseases such as type II diabetes, heart disease some types of cancer, for example, but investigations into its relationship with problems sexuality have not yet been well defined. FSD, evidence found, including this...

Abstract The development of sequence decomposition techniques in recent years has facilitated the wide use decomposition-based prediction models hydrological forecasting. However, usually overall (OD) sampling technique to extract samples. Some studies have shown that OD causes abnormally “high” performance owing utilization future information, and this cannot be applied practice. Several resea...

BACKGROUND We examine variation in fertility-specific distress (FSD) and general distress according to different experiences of infertility among 1027 US women who have experienced infertility within the previous 10 years. METHODS General distress was measured by a short form of the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression. Multiple regression analysis was conducted on self-report data (...

Pelvic radiotherapy constitutes the primary or (neo) adjuvant treatment of many pelvic cancers e.g., locally advanced cervical and rectal cancer. There is an increasing focus on late effects and an increasing awareness that patient reported outcomes (PROs) i.e., patie...

T he creation and promotion of " female sexual dysfunction " (FSD) is a textbook case of disease mongering by the pharmaceutical industry and by other agents of medicalization, such as health and science journalists, healthcare professionals, public relations and advertising fi rms, contract research organizations, and others in the " medicalization industry. " Whether one relies on Lynn Payer'...

In plants with alternately arranged foliage, such as the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera), leaves are attached to the stem in either an ascending clockwise (left handed [L]) or counterclockwise (right handed [R]) spiral (Fig. 1). Foliar spiral direction (FSD) is not genetically determined in coconut palms: All crosses (R 3 R, R 3L, L 3 R, L 3 L) yield R and L progeny in approximately equal numbers...

A recent meta-analysis of 17 randomized, controlled trials (RCTs) showed that Short-term Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (STPP) for functional somatic disorders (FSD) reduced symptoms compared to wait list, minimal treatment, and treatment-as-usual controls. clinically important yet unanswered question is how much improvement patients experience within STPP treatment. Following a systematic search,...

the membrane separation technology by relying on microfiltration ultrafiltration, and reverse osmosis methods are becoming more important among consulting engineers, designers of environmental pollution control system, and industrial factories. the advantages of this technology together with its emphasis on recycling the fluid to the system and reusing the membranes have caused the membranes to...
