Chesler, Ronald Lippitt, and Patricia Schmuck for their helpful criticisms of an earlier draft of this paper. N THIS PAPER, I will emphasize problems as seen by working and I middle class adolescents with considerable economic security, little anxiety about survival, and generally healthy personalities. Youngsters of the working and middle-classes, though generally contented, healthy, and compe...

Youngsters maintain contact with each other through social-networking websites. We propose new ways of nurturing contacts by monitoring users’ activity with mobile phones (i.e., by monitoring text messages, phone calls, and encounters captured by Bluetooth). We show that, based on user’s activity, one is able to recommend new friends, track health of friendships (and alert users they may be neg...

Water pipe smoking (WPS) has been a traditional habit in the Middle Eastern Society for hundreds of years. The WPS users have a false sense of safety due to its casual use in social gatherings. It was estimated that about 70% of WPS users believe it to be a safe alternative to cigarette smoking.1 Further, the use of flavored tobacco has led to its growing popularity, especially among youngsters.

Salmonella typhi spreads typhoid fever, a multisystem illness. The bacteria that cause fever may promote the generation of endotoxins alter haematological assays, particularly those involving leukocytes. Exogenous pyrogens, such as or an immune reaction, produce fever. Pyogen be interleukin-1-like protein. This chemical stimulate hypothalamus to create more prostaglandin E2, causing We also fou...

Introduction It has been convincingly demonstrated during the past decade that aggressive behavior is learned behavior. Though the belief in instinct, not learning, as the primary source of human aggression dies hard, evidence to the contrary is overwhelming (Bandura, 1973; Goldstein. 1983). Not only is aggression primarily learned, but the manner in which such acquisition occurs has been shown...

A process of secularisation can be observed in all European countries: church membershipdeclines and religious institutions lose their monopoly. This is strongest among Dutchyoungsters, but it does not automatically lead to a loss of religion. Instead it is a process ofindividualisation of religion. Youngsters nowadays construct a personal framework of meaningby choosing from av...

Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is a metaheuristic optimization algorithm that owes much of its allure to its simplicity and its high effectiveness in solving sophisticated optimization problems. However, since the performance of the standard PSO is prone to being trapped in local extrema, abundant variants of PSO have been proposed by far. For instance, Fuzzy Adaptive PSO (FAPSO) algorithms ...

In this work we tried to solve some non-linear problems of analytic photogrammetry. These problems are also widely flowed into the digital photogrammetry. The model formation considering the solution of the Relative Orientation, and the object reconstruction considering the solution of the Absolute Orientation have non-linear functional models. These models need an exhaustive research of the pr...

People with autism present several disabilities in communication, social interaction and behavioral fields. There is a wide variation among these individuals and it is essential to develop therapies and materials customized for them. There are many design approaches in Human-Computer Interaction, but most of them present some limitations for designing to this audience. We conducted a study usin...
