Investigations of self-acceptance are critical to understanding the development and maintenance of psychological health. However, valid and reliable instruments for measuring self-acceptance in persons with early blindness have yet to be developed. The current research describes three studies designed to develop and validate the Self-acceptance Scale for Persons with Early Blindness (SAS-EB). I...

Cross-sectional relationships between content and structural properties of the self-concept and alcohol use in young adults with antisocial alcohol dependence (AAD) (n = 24), those in recovery from AAD (n = 18), and controls (n = 23) were examined using the schema model of the self-concept. Persons with AAD had a trend toward fewer positive self-schemas than did controls, and had more negative ...

random early detection (red) is one of the most commonly used active queue management (aqm) algorithms that is recommended by ietf for deployment in the network. although red provides low average queuing delay and high throughput at the same time, but effectiveness of red is highly sensitive to the red parameters setting. as network condition varies largely, setting red's parameters with fixed ...

Abstract It is widely accepted that there what has been called a non-hypocrisy norm on the appropriateness of moral blame; roughly, one standing to blame only if not guilty very offence seeks criticize. Our acceptance this embodied in common retort criticism, “Who are you me?” But paradox lurking behind commonplace norm. If it always inappropriate for x y wrong committed, then all cases which b...

self-affine maps were successfully used for edge detection, image segmentation, and contour extraction. they belong to the general category of patch-based methods. particularly, each self-affine map is defined by one pair of patches in the image domain. by minimizing the difference between these patches, the optimal translation vector of the self-affine map is obtained. almost all image process...
