BACKGROUND This study compared an acceptance-based strategy with a control-based strategy (distraction) in terms of the ability of participants to tolerate a painful stimulus, across two experiments. In addition, participants were either actively encouraged, or not, to link pain tolerance with pursuit of valued goals to examine the impact of pursuing a personally meaningful goal or value on the...

This study aims to find out the political, social, and religious values of tolerance in school textbooks, specifically history textbooks for seventh, eighth, ninth grades Kurdistan Region. The research question is: what are social basic education? methodology used answer this is, content analysis by taking paragraphs as well direct indirect concepts units analysis. tool is a list made researche...

low- temperature (lt) tolerance is an economic trait in winter wheat that determines the plants’ ability to successfully cope with below freezing temperatures. to identify the genomic regions associated with lt tolerance in hexaploid wheat, an f2:3 population was produced from crossing between winter type and tolerant parent, mirnovoskaja 808 (lt50 = -20oc), and spring type and susceptible pare...

The original rough set theory deals with precise and complete data, while real applications frequently contain imperfect information. A typical imperfect data studied in rough set research is the missing values. Though there are many ideas proposed to solve the issue in the literature, the paper adopts a probabilistic approach, because it can incorporate other types of imperfect data including ...

We consider several basic classes of tolerance relations among objects. These (global) relations are deened from some predeened similarity measures on values of attributes. A tolerance relation in a given class of tolerance relations is optimal with respect to a given decision table A if it contains only pairs of objects with the same decision and the number of such pairs contained in the relat...

In this study we present a simple optimization model for the evolution of defensive strategies (tolerance and resistance) of plants against their natural enemies. The model specifically evaluates the consequences of introducing variable costs and benefits of tolerance and resistance and nonlinear cost-and-benefit functions for tolerance and resistance. Incorporating these assumptions, the prese...

Species differ regarding their drought tolerance and individuals of a given species can modify their morphology and physiology in response to drought. However, since evolutionary and ecological selective pressures differ, individual and interspecific responses to drought might not match. We determined summer survival and a number of ecophysiological variables in two factorial experiments with s...

We introduce a stronger validity property for the byzantine agreement problem with orderable initial values: The median validity property. In particular, the decision value is required to be close to the median of the initial values of the non-byzantine nodes. The proximity to the median scales with the desired level of fault-tolerance: If no fault-tolerance is required, algorithms have to deci...

This paper discusses the Islamic tolerance of other faiths and belief systems. Islam also advocates diversity. The conflict between religions can be avoided through tolerance; thus, harmony unity fostered in a pluralistic society. Therefore, discussion this article focuses on Quranic view practical to avoid conflicts which are direct result failure appreciate values underpin teachings. Using do...
