objectives: this study compared the effects of individual and group training on general health and stress of parents of children with autism spectrum disorders. methods: a sample of 75 parents of children referring to autistic children foundation (including 50 parents in two experimental groups and 25 parents in control group) was taken into account. sample parents were selected through accessi...

the degree kirchhoff index of a connected graph $g$ is defined as‎ ‎the sum of the terms $d_i,d_j,r_{ij}$ over all pairs of vertices‎, ‎where $d_i$ is the‎ ‎degree of the $i$-th vertex‎, ‎and $r_{ij}$ the resistance distance between the $i$-th and‎ ‎$j$-th vertex of $g$‎. ‎bounds for the degree kirchhoff index of the line and para-line‎ ‎graphs are determined‎. ‎the special case of regular grap...

An adaptive procedure for removing a multimodal power spectrum using cascaded transversal digital filters is described. Sach section of the c/erall filtfir consists of a second order transversal filter whose zero pair is adaptively adjusted to remove one of the modes of the undesired spectrum. Ihe paper is divided into two sections. The paper first treats the case of an unknown but unimodal pow...

In this paper, we perform a theoretical study of processes that demonstrates additional time delay obtained by remodeling Brillouin gain spectrum, and we also study the main influence factors on pulse time delay and broadening, as well as analyze the ways which increases the delay, and further suppresses pulse broadening. The results show that by remodeling Brillouin gain spectrum, one obtains ...

We report on our analysis of a 274 ks observation of the Vela pulsar with the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). The double-peaked, pulsed emission at 2 30 keV, which we had previously detected during a 93 ks observation, is confirmed with much improved statistics. There is now clear evidence, both in the spectrum and the light curve, that the emission in the RXTE band is a blend of two separa...

We report on our analysis of a 300 ks observation of the Vela pulsar with the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). The doublepeaked, pulsed emission at 2 30 keV, which we had previously detected during a 93 ks observation, is confirmed with much improved statistics. There is now clear evidence, both in the spectrum and the light curve, that the emission in the RXTE band is a blend of two separat...

Recently, there has been some interest for building supersymmetric models of double inflation. These models, realistic from a particle physics point of view, predict a broken-scale-invariant power spectrum of primordial cosmological perturbations, that may explain eventual non-trivial features in the present matter power spectrum. In previous works, the primordial spectrum was calculated using ...

The understanding of emotions based on counterfactual reasoning was studied in children with high-functioning autism spectrum disorders (n = 71) and in typically developing children (n = 71), aged 6-12 years. Children were presented with eight stories about two protagonists who experienced the same positive or negative outcome, either due to their own action or by default. Relative to the compa...

We introduce a two-stage analysis of color spectra. In the first processing stage, correlation with the first eigenvector of a spectral database is used to measure the intensity of a color spectrum. In the second step, a perspective projection is used to map the color spectrum to the hyperspace of spectra with first eigenvector coefficient equal to unity. The location in this hyperspace describ...

Single crystals of nonlinear optical material bis (guanidinium) hydrogen phosphate monohydrate (G2HP) belonging to non centrosymmetric space group P 21c were successfully grown by the slow evaporation method. Optical transmittance and second harmonic generation of the grown crystals have been studied by UV-vis-NIR spectrum and Kurtz powder technique respectively. The transmittance of G2HP cryst...
