Contemporary race relations are marked by an apparent paradox: Overt prejudice is strongly condemned, yet acts of blatant racism still frequently occur. We propose that one reason for this inconsistency is that people misunderstand how they would feel and behave after witnessing racism. The present research demonstrates that although people predicted that they would be very upset by a racist ac...

This study investigated whether different beverage carbohydrate concentration and osmolality would provoke gastrointestinal (GI) discomfort during intermittent, high-intensity exercise. Thirty-six adult and adolescent athletes were tested on separate days in a double-blind, randomized trial of 6 % and 8 % carbohydrate-electrolytes (CHO-E) beverages during four 12-min quarters (Q) of circuit tra...

BACKGROUND Research into the causes of small-vessel stroke has been hindered by technical constraints. Cases of intracerebral hemorrhage occurring in unusual clinical contexts suggest a causal role for sudden increases in blood pressure and/or cerebral blood flow. CASE DESCRIPTION We describe a fatal primary thalamic/brain stem hemorrhage occurring in the context of sudden emotional upset. At...

FPGA has found an increasingly wide utilization in automatic train control (ATC) equipment used in highspeed rail systems, which is potentially sensitive to radiation. How the space radiation caused by Geomagnetic storm affects FPGA devices was analyzed. This paper investigated the FPGA fault-tolerance techniques used nowadays and presented a new mitigation technique against upsets, duplication...

Although investigators have proposed in various theories that the socialization of emotions has important implications for children's general competence, very little empirical data exist. In the present study, parents' responses to the emotional distress of their preschool children were examined in the context of more general dimensions of parenting (warmth and control), and the relation of the...
