Baumeister and Muraven (1996) reasoned that those who have a well-formed identity should express a greater amount of fear when faced with the prospect of their own death. In Study 1, terror management theory methodology was applied to test this hypothesis. The results show that individuals who were exploring their identity had greater identity exploration scores when reminded of their death in ...

In addition to exploring constructions and properties of limits and colimits in categories of topological algebras, we study special subcategories of topological algebras and their properties. In particular, under certain conditions, reflective subcategories when paired with topological structures give rise to reflective subcategories and epireflective subcategories give rise to epireflective s...

Whilst the concept of 'race' has no basis in genetics or biology, the dynamics of racism pervade all aspects of modern life--including the consulting room. In this paper the relationship between a white therapist and a black patient is explored through an unbidden thought and a verbal slip that occurred in the course of the therapy. The amplification and examination of these unwanted 'slips' ar...

purpose: document delivery scheme for the libraries of the ministry of science, research and technology was launched in 1999 due to currency budget crisis. the main purpose of this paper is to investigate how the above document delivery service was launched, preformed and finally stopped. method: the current study applied questionnaire and interview surveys for studying different aspects of the...

AVI provided an attractive opportunity for exploring novel visual interfaces for cultural heritage (CH). CH traditionally draws a lot of research attention when it comes to exploring the potential benefits from application of novel technology in realistic settings. At the same time, AVI focusses on exploring the state of the art visual interfaces and their application in various domains. The AV...

Recent evidence that water flowed down the faces of some Martian cliffs has created an interest in the scientific community to explore these cliffs more thoroughly, perhaps using robots. This paper presents a technique for autonomous exploration that considers multiple forms of information while exploring. The method is applied to the problem of autonomously exploring cliffs. The exploring robo...

In this special issue of Neuron, we are prou d to present a collection of Reviews, Perspectives, and NeuroViews that offer a snapshot into some of the most exciting recent advances in neuroengineering. Undeniable strides have beenmade in our understanding of the genetic, molecular, and physiological mechanisms that contribute to brain function, and the development and dissemination of state of ...

R ecently, there has been a growing interest in metasystems (or systems of systems), whose com ­ ponents are enterprise systems. Systems engineers and IT pro­ fessionals often use modeling, performance analysis, require­ ment specifications, engineering, integration, architecting, and in­ teroperability among metasystem components to achieve a common goal. However, when it comes to integrating ...
