Let L be a disjoint union of nontrivial paths. Such a graph we call a linear forest. We study the relation between the 2-local Ramsey number R2-loc(L) and the Ramsey number R(L), where L is a linear forest. L will be called an (n, j)-linear forest if L has n vertices and j maximal paths having an odd number of vertices. If L is an (n, j)-linear forest, then R2-loc(L) = (3n − j)/2 + dj/2e −

Six patients were anaesthetized with 70% nitrous oxide in oxygen supplemented by infusion of propofol 40, 80, 120, 160 and 200 micrograms kg-1 min-1 sequentially in successive 10-min periods. Auditory evoked response (AER) and lower oesophageal contractility (LOC) were monitored. The AER findings were consistent with those noted in previous studies of i.v. agents. Early cortical waves showed at...

A lucid dream is de®ned as occurring when an individual becomes aware that they are dreaming, and, while remaining asleep, can control some of the events or content of the dream. Frequent lucid dreamers have previously been shown to be more internal on Rotter's Locus of Control (LOC) scale than are non-lucid dreamers. The present study found that frequent lucid dreamers (n = 22) had higher scor...

A change in the basic-level class when viewing a sequence of two objects produces a large release from adaptation in LOC compared to when the images are identical. Is this due to a change in semantics or shape? In an fMRI-adaptation experiment, subjects viewed a sequence of two objects and judged whether the stimuli were identical in shape. Different-shaped stimuli could be from the same or dif...

Purpose Studying tourist behavior provides the privilege of diverging in competition between destinations to attract tourists. Previous studies have explored effects on brand satisfaction, attachment and loyalty. However, there is a lack that investigated intuition behind shaping behavior. To address this issue, study aims contribute providing viewpoint apply locus control (LOC) theory tourism ...

A central issue for understanding visual object recognition is how the cortical hierarchy represents incoming sensory information and transforms it across successive processing stages. The format of object representation in the human brain has thus far mostly been studied using adaptation paradigms because the neuronal layout of object selectivities was thought to be beyond the resolution of co...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether combat-acquired traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with postdeployment frequent binge drinking among a random sample of active duty military personnel. PARTICIPANTS Active duty military personnel who returned home within the past year from deployment to a combat theater of operations and completed a survey health assessment (N = 7155). METHODS Cross-se...

The current study examines the relationship of affect and eating disorder behavior in anorexia nervosa (AN) using ecological momentary assessment. Participants were 118 adult females recruited at three sites from eating disorder treatment centers and community advertisements. All participants met full Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (4th ed.) criteria or subthreshold crite...

This exploratory study investigates methods for enhancing Flickr tags as image metadata through the creation of context. Community generated tags from a sample of images in the Library of Congress’s (LOC) Flickr photostream were harvested and compared to metadata from related Wikipedia articles. In addition, a content analysis of comments in the LOC photostream was conducted. This informs an ex...
