This study examined associations between interparental relationship dynamics and vagus system functioning in infancy. The functioning of the vagus system, part of the parasympathetic nervous system, indexes emotional reactivity and regulation. Interparental avoidance and dyadic adjustment constitute the focus of this study in order to bring attention to relationship dynamics not subsumed under ...

abstract the present study examined the relationship between personality traits and marital adjustment in methadone maintained drug addicts and non addicts. the population of the study consists of male (n-52) addicts and non-addicts (n=52), randomly selected through sampling procedure. cloninger’s temperament and character inventory questionnaire (tci-56) and dyadic adjustment scale (das) were ...

Background Within a multifactorial, transactional model, several studies indicated that are relevant infant–parent re...

Traditional wavelet-based image coders use dyadic multiresolution decompositions, resulting in spatial resolutions that are also dyadic in scale, i.e., powers of 1/2 the original resolution. In this paper, we increase the set of decodable spatial resolutions beyond dyadic scales by introducing a two-dimensional wavelet decomposition made of combining wavelet transforms of non-integer dilation f...
