We first suggest that evolutionary psychology provides the most ultimate (as opposed to proximate) t...

The primary purpose of this research paper is to understand the role of national cultural dimensions on e-learning practices in India. India is considered a major player in the world economy today. US multinationals are significantly increasing their presence in India and understanding local HRM practices will help global companies transition better. This conceptual paper uses the national cult...

Behavioral and cognitive psychotherapies are the most widely studied psychological interventions for anxiety disorders. In the present article, the results of ten years of meta-analytic studies on psychotherapies for the various anxiety disorders are reviewed and the relative effectiveness of cognitive and behavioral therapeutic methods is examined. Meta-analytic results support the effectivene...

The geometric ideas developed in the 19th century still exert a fundamental influence on modern mathematics. This is especially true in theoretical and mathematical physics, including the areas of special and general relativity, tensor analysis in mechanics and hydrodynamics, and discrete and continuum groups in solid state and quantum theories. In the more analytic branches of mathematics, the...

Affine term structure models have gained a lot of attention in the finance literature, which is due to their analytic tractability and statistical flexibility. The aim of this article is to present both, theoretical foundations and empirical aspects. Starting from the first short rate models, namely the Vasiček and the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross ones, we then give an overview of some properties of affi...

This paper approaches from an optimal control perspective the problem of fixed-time detection of mobile radioactive sources in transit by means of a collection of mobile sensors. Under simplifying assumptions on the motion and geometry of the source, the sensors, and the surrounding environment, the optimal control problem admits an intuitive, analytic closedform solution. This solution is obta...

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Functional Analytic Psychotherapy have recently come under fire for “getting ahead of their data” (Corrigan, 2001). The current article presents a descriptive review of some of the actual evidence available. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy have a small but growing body of outcome research sup...

The purpose of the paper is to introduce some conjectures regarding the analytic continuation and the arithmetic properties of quantum invariants of knotted objects. More precisely, we package the perturbative and nonperturbative invariants of knots and 3-manifolds into two power series of type P and NP, convergent in a neighborhood of zero, and we postulate their arithmetic resurgence. By the ...

The calculation of loop integrals is essential to obtain the precise theoretical prediction for high-energy reactions. Loop integrals for oneloop diagrams can be expressed by logarithms and dilogarithms. For a class of higher order diagrams, compact analytic expressions are obtained. For instance, some two-loop two point functions with single mass(m) are given by functions of x = s/m. As two-lo...
