OBJECTIVE The current study investigated the self-reported temporal relationships of dieting, binge eating, and overweight in childhood. METHOD One hundred five non-treatment-seeking overweight children ages 6-13 years were interviewed with the children's Eating Disorder Examination (ChEDE) and queried regarding dieting, loss of control (LOC) eating, and overweight history. Questionnaires of ...

Kourtzi and Kanwisher identify regions in the lateral occipital cortex (LOC) with cells that respond to object type, regardless of whether the data is presented as a gray-scale image or a line drawing. They conclude from this data that these regions process or represent structural shape information. This paper suggests a slightly less restrictive explanation: they have identified regions in the...

F (u) = f(u(·)), u ∈ W 1,p 0 (Ω), where f is a continuous function defined on R and L = −∆p. The results obtained (see [33]) extend the papers [10, 22] in the sense that the Laplace opereator in these two papers can be replaced with its generalizations, the p−Laplace operator. Also, our results can be applied to singular elliptic equations. 2. Boundary value problems for singular elliptic equat...

Investigations of relationships between the specific personality variable, locus of control (LOC, Rotter, 1966) and driver behaviour or accidents have returned contrasting results. Review suggests dependence on gender or experience characteristics of participants, suggesting these factors interact with LOC to influence driving. Relationships were investigated in terms of influence on the eight ...

Researchers have often commented on the high correlation between McCabe’s Cyclomatic Complexity (CC) and lines of code (LOC). Many have believed this correlation high enough to justify adjusting CC by LOC or even substituting LOC for CC. However, from an empirical standpoint the relationship of CC to LOC is still an open one. We undertake the largest statistical study of this relationship to da...

OBJECTIVE Loss of consciousness (LOC) in frontal lobe epilepsy (FLE) has been rarely specifically studied until now. In this study we evaluated the LOC in a population of patients with FLE and studied the relationship between changes in synchrony and degree of LOC. METHODS 24 patients undergoing stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) during pre-surgical evaluation of FLE were studied. The LOC in...

180 male students of 10+1&10+2 were tested on Rotter’s scale of locus of control and TAT ((3BM, 6BM, 7BM, 8BM, 10 & 20) in experimentally induced situations of probability of success of Ps.50 by specific instructions. An Insoluble figure--‘perceptual reasoning task’ was used to test persistence of externally & internally controlled Ss who were high and low on need-achievement. Analysis of varia...

BACKGROUND A report of loss of consciousness (LOC) is frequently considered reason enough to obtain a computed tomography (CT) scan in the evaluation of head trauma. We conducted this study to reduce exposure to radiation from CT, while still not overlooking clinically significant injuries. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study is to determine the correlation between LOC status and brain CT sc...

Blast-related traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been a common injury among returning troops due to the widespread use of improvised explosive devices in the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. As most of the TBIs sustained are in the mild range, brain changes may not be detected by standard clinical imaging techniques such as CT. Furthermore, the functional significance of these types of injuries is curr...

Shape is an object property that inherently exists in vision and touch, and is processed in part by the lateral occipital complex (LOC). Recent studies have shown that shape can be artificially coded by sound using sensory substitution algorithms and learned with behavioral training. This finding offers a unique opportunity to test intermodal generalizability of the LOC beyond the sensory modal...
