Abstract Background: Identity disturbance is one of the DSM-IV criteria for borderline personality disorder, but there has been little attention to its nature. Four subsets of identity disturbance (role absorption, painful incoherence, inconsistency and lack of commitment) have been assessed. This study aimed to assess the role of these subsets in patients with borderline person...

The problem of disturbance rejection in the control of nonlinear systems with additive disturbance generated by some unforced nonlinear systems, was formulated and solved by {itshape Mukhopadhyay} and {itshape Narendra}, they applied the idea of increasing the order of the system, using neural networks the model of multilayer perceptron on several systems of varying complexity, so the objective...

disturbances in fibromyalgia syndrome: relationship to pain and depression. Sleep disturbance is a widely reported and debilitating concomitant of fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) and plays a pivotal role in exacerbating patients reporting of symptoms. Bigatti and colleagues report a longitudinal study that examined self-reported sleep, pain, depression and physical functioning at baseline in FMS pa...

The sequence in which disturbance events occur has the potential to affect the structure of ecological communities, but its role has been generally overlooked. Most disturbance studies have focused on the frequency or intensity of disturbance, probably reflecting the influence of the intermediate disturbance hypothesis. To investigate the effects of disturbance sequence on community structure, ...

assessment and management of the environmental impacts of forest harvesting operations have become increasingly critical factors in practicing commercial forestry. this study investigated soil disturbance from a forest logging system operation on an 8-hectare mixed broadleaved stand in compartment no. 309 in gorazbon district in kheyrud educational and research forest. the objective of this stu...

BACKGROUND Proctological surgery is being carried out increasingly on an outpatient basis. The reasons for this are safe anesthetic procedures, short operation times and low complication rates. This study is a retrospective analysis of complication rates, symptom recurrence and long-term results according to outpatient proctologic surgery practiced in our hospital in the last 10 years. MATERI...

Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) has particular importance in chemical industry. CSTR has usually a nonlinear behavior which makes it difficult to control. The reactor has two parameters: the concentration and temperature of mixture both of which are uncertain. This case of CSTR has large disturbance in domain. In order for disturbance rejection, a controller has to be designed. In this p...
