behavioral problems in cats have drawn more attention in recent years since they affect the cat-owner relationship. this study was designed to study the rate of cats with undesirable behaviors according to their owners. frequency of behavioral problems in 167 cats attending small animal hospital, faculty of veterinary medicine, university of tehran, was evaluated using a questionnaire. accordin...

OBJECTIVE Both prenatal testosterone (T) exposure and postnatal T levels have been associated with developing neural circuitry and behavioral systems. This study examined the potential correlation between pre- and postnatal T levels and behavioral and neurocognitive profiles of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). METHODS Two hundred ADHD patients with a mean age of ...

AIMS To investigate, in a group of subjects at an early stage of cognitive impairment, the relationship between anosognosia and both cognitive and behavioral symptoms by exploring the various domains of insight. METHODS One hundred and eight subjects affected by cognitive impairment were consecutively enrolled. The level of awareness was evaluated by means of the Clinical Insight Rating Scale...

Traditional lane-changing (LC) behavioral researches usually focus on the driver’s cognitive performance which includes the driver’s psychological and behavioral habit characteristics, rarely involving the affection of expert driver’s comprehensive behavioral preferences, such as: safety and comfort performance in LC process. Towards the free LC process, a novel LC safety and comfort degree ind...

The behavioral approach (BAS) and behavioral inhibition (BIS) systems are central to theories of both personality and psychopathology, yet agreement on methods of assessing BAS and BIS sensitivity has yet to emerge. We compare the Carver and White (1994) BIS/BAS scales with putative physiological markers of BAS (pre-ejection period [PEP], respiratory sinus arrhythmia [RSA]) and BIS (electroderm...

Westin’s Privacy Segmentation Index has been widely used to measure privacy attitudes and categorize individuals into three privacy groups: fundamentalists, pragmatists, and unconcerned. Previous research has failed to establish a robust correlation between the Westin categories and actual or intended behaviors. Unexplored however is the connection between the Westin categories and individuals’...

The authors illustrate how their work on mother-infant "relational psychophysiology" might inform psychotherapy research. They examined psychophysiology in 18 mother-infant dyads (infants' age: 5 months) during normal interaction and a still-face perturbation. They measured respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) as an index of emotion regulation and explored whether skin conductance (SC) concordanc...

The design of reconfigurable active antennas requires an efficient system simulation in order to analyze the impact of other components on the array pattern, especially the Power Amplifiers (PA) effect. Therefore, the performance prediction of PA on Tx-Rx chains is important. This paper presents a behavioral model of a PA, which is able to take into account the load impedance mismatch with a VS...
