We developed various factor models of the Childhood Anxiety Sensitivity Index [Silverman, W. K., Fleisig, W., Rabian, B. & Peterson, R. A. (1991). Childhood anxiety sensitivity index. Journal of Clinical Child Psychology, 20, 162-168] and tested the goodness of fit of the models in an independent sample. Of primary interest was to examine the question that characterized the factor analytic stud...

Four different kinds of grammars that can define crossing dependencies in human language are compared here: (i) context sensitive rewrite grammars with rules that depend on context, (ii) matching grammars with constraints that filter the generative structure of the language, (iii) copying grammars which can copy structures of unbounded size, and (iv) generating grammars in which crossing depend...

We describe a high optical performance 3.4 μm pixel pitch global shutter CMOS image sensor with multiple accumulation shutter technology and a large tapered light guide structure. The pixel achieves 1.8 etemporal noise and full well capacity of 16,200 ewith charge domain memory in 120 fps operation. The sensitivity and parasitic light sensitivity are 28,000 e-/lx·s and -89 dB, respectively. Mor...

Model catalysts of Au clusters supported on TiO2 thin films were prepared under ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions with average metal cluster sizes that varied from ∼2.5 to ∼6.0 nm. The reactivities of these Au/TiO2 catalysts were measured for CO oxidation at a total pressure of 40 Torr in a reactor contiguous to the surface analysis chamber. Catalyst structure and composition were monitored wi...

Climate sensitivity to the representation of tropical anvil is investigated in a version of the National Center for Atmospheric Research Community Climate Model. Common features of tropical anvil generation and structure, consistent with observations and cloud resolving models, are incorporated into a simple prognostic anvil parameterization. These features include anvil convective origin, vert...

The LHC data will provide sensitivity to an unification of the couplings at low energies in the range ∼10-100 TeV. It is demonstrated in this note that the lack of knowledge on the proton structure, specifically its gluon distribution, can lower dramatically the sensitivity of bare cross section measurements to this physics. However, some more elaborated strategies could probably be developped ...

OBJECTIVE Study the influence of household contact structure on the spread of an influenza-like illness. Examine whether changes to in-home care giving arrangements can significantly affect the household transmission counts. METHOD We simulate two different behaviors for the symptomatic person; either s/he remains at home in contact with everyone else in the household or s/he remains at home ...

We report results on the catalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide (CO) over clean Ir surfaces that are prepared reversibly from the same crystal in situ with different surface morphologies, from planar to nanometer-scale facets of specific crystal orientations and various sizes. Our temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) data show that both planar Ir(210) and faceted Ir(210) are very active for ...

The time of reward and the temporal structure of reward occurrence fundamentally influence behavioral reinforcement and decision processes [1-11]. However, despite knowledge about timing in sensory and motor systems [12-17], we know little about temporal mechanisms of neuronal reward processing. In this experiment, visual stimuli predicted different instantaneous probabilities of reward occurre...
