We examine differential validity of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) diagnoses assessed by the fully-structured Composite International Diagnostic Interview Version 3.0 (CIDI) among Latino, non-Latino Black, and non-Latino White adolescents in comparison to gold standard diagnoses derived from the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophren...

OBJECTIVE This study tests the suggestion of earlier studies concerning the importance of genetic factors in the etiology of winter seasonal affective disorders (SADs) and subsyndromal winter SAD (S-SAD). METHOD Two study populations of Winnipeg, Manitoba residents were canvassed: 250 adults of wholly Icelandic descent and 1000 adults of non-Icelandic descent. We distributed the Seasonal Patt...

Proof. The proof is by induction on N , and is obviously true for N = 0 (won position) or N = 1 (only one vertex has negative evaluation, so there’s only one legal move which is known to be winning). Suppose then that for every k < N , if a pair (G, ē) admits a win in k moves then every legal sequence of moves from (G, ē) leads to a win in k moves. Assume that (G, e) admits a win in N moves sta...

We provide the first two-party protocol allowing Alice and Bob to evaluate privately even against active adversaries any completely positive, tracepreserving map F ∈ L(Ain ⊗ Bin) → L(Aout ⊗ Bout), given as a quantum circuit, upon their joint quantum input state ρin ∈ D(Ain ⊗ Bin). Our protocol leaks no more to any active adversary than an ideal functionality for F provided Alice and Bob have th...

Hawking radiation remains a crucial theoretical prediction of semi-classical gravity and is considered one the critical tests for model quantum gravity. However, Hawking’s original derivation used field theory on fixed background. Efforts have been made to include space–time fluctuations arising from quantization dynamical degrees freedom itself study effects particles. Using analysis, we scala...

Using the monodromy method we calculate the asymptotic quasinormal (QN) frequencies of an electromagnetic field moving in D-dimensional Schwarzschild and Schwarzschild de Sitter (SdS) black holes (D ≥ 4). For theD-dimensional Schwarzschild anti-de Sitter (SadS) black hole we also compute these frequencies with a similar method. Moreover, we calculate the electromagnetic normal modes of the D-di...

The relationship between executive function and comorbid diagnoses in ADHD children is examined. One hundred six children between 7 and 15 years of age are assessed using the Tower of London (TOL), a test of executive function, and the Kiddie Schedule of Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia, Present and Lifetime Version, a diagnostic interview. All children met the diagnostic criteria for ADHD...

BACKGROUND The lack of culturally adapted and validated instruments for child mental health and psychosocial support in low and middle-income countries is a barrier to assessing prevalence of mental health problems, evaluating interventions, and determining program cost-effectiveness. Alternative procedures are needed to validate instruments in these settings. METHODS Six criteria are propose...

Species abundance distributions (SADs) are widely used as a tool for summarizing ecological communities but may have different shapes, depending on the currency used to measure species importance. We develop a simple plotting method that links SADs in the alternative currencies of numerical abundance and biomass and is underpinned by testable predictions about how organisms occupy physical spac...
