Ultra-thin fashion dolls may represent a risk factor for thin-ideal internalisation and body dissatisfaction amongst young girls. We asked thirty one 5- to 9-year-old girls engage in interactive play with commercially available which were either ultra-thin (Barbie Monster High) or represented putative realistic childlike shape (Lottie Dora) indicate their perceived own-body size ideal on an com...

Much of the current focus on the use of ultra-thin models in fashion magazines can be attributed to Madison Avenue which still operates under a “Thin Sells” ethos. Research to date, however, has provided equivocal evidence of the efficacy of thin models in advertising (Yu, 2014). The present study’s two related objectives include: (1) determining whether model size has an impact on advertising ...

Gu map-1 is a modified version of GGH map. It uses same ideal lattices for constructing the trapdoors, while the novelty is that no encodings of zero are given. In this short paper we show that Gu map-1 cannot be used for the instance of witness encryption (WE) based on the hardness of 3-exact cover problem. That is, if Gu map-1 is used for such instance, we can break it by soving a combined 3-...

The increasing concern of the policy maker about eating behaviour has focused on the spread of obesity and on the evidence of people dieting despite being underweight. As the latter behaviour is often attributed to the social pressure to be thin, some governments have already taken actions to ban ultra-thin ideals and models. This paper proposes a theoretical framework to assess whether increas...

An old question of T. Jech and K. Prikry asks if an existence of a precipitous ideal implies necessary existence of a normal precipitous ideal. The aim of the paper is to prove some results in the positive direction. Thus, it is shown that under some mild assumptions, an existence of a precipitous ideal over א1 implies an existence of a normal precipitous ideal over א1 once a Cohen subset is ad...

the rings considered in this article are commutative with identity $1neq 0$. by a proper ideal of a ring $r$,  we mean an ideal $i$ of $r$ such that $ineq r$.  we say that a proper ideal $i$ of a ring $r$ is a  maximal non-prime ideal if $i$ is not a prime ideal of $r$ but any proper ideal $a$ of $r$ with $ isubseteq a$ and $ineq a$ is a prime ideal. that is, among all the proper ideals of $r$,...

Let us assume we are given a linearly uncountable, holomorphic ideal acting almost everywhere on an ultra-arithmetic graph rK. Recent developments in rational PDE [10] have raised the question of whether D < −1. We show that ξ ≥ F . In this setting, the ability to study dependent, Markov– Russell curves is essential. Recent interest in systems has centered on computing covariant, partially nonn...

Diamond is an ideal semiconductor material for high power / high temperature electronic systems with active device structures and MEMS components. Despite the difficult materials and device technology, individual transistor structures and passive components have been realized, allowing to extract first encouraging microwave performance data. A critical issue is still the availability of single ...

We consider packings of radius r collars about hyperplanes in H. For such packings, we prove that the Delaunay cells are truncated ultra-ideal simplices which tile H. If we place n+1 hyperplanes in H each at a distance of exactly 2r to the others, we could place radius r collars about these hyperplanes. The density of these collars within the corresponding Delaunay cell is an upper bound on den...
