The authors of this study examined the relation between job demands and psychological detachment from work during off-job time (i.e., mentally switching off) with psychological well-being and work engagement. They hypothesized that high job demands and low levels of psychological detachment predict poor well-being and low work engagement. They proposed that psychological detachment buffers the ...

. 12.00 background: studies indicate that becoming a mother is accompanied by prominent physical, social, and psychological changes which can affect not only mother’s psychological healthiness, but also all other aspects of her personal and family life. the purpose of this research was to explore the struggles experienced by iranian first‑time mothers in adapting to their maternal role between ...

We present evidence that the structural brain network follows the exponential decay law; these data are inconsistent with the view the brain follows the more complicated truncated exponential power law. Our model is then used in application, to show that children exposed to high levels of early life stress have more sparsely connected hub nodes. These data are consistent with rodent models of t...

In a recent paper, we applied time series analysis methods to study the possible influence of the solar motion through the Galaxy on terrestrial extinction (Feng & Bailer-Jones 2013). We drew conclusions about the relative probabilities of how well different models explain the geological extinction record. We found no strong evidence for either a periodicity in the extinction record or for a li...

We consider continuous state branching processes (CSBP’s) with additional multiplicative jumps modeling dramatic events in a random environment. These jumps are described by a Lévy process with bounded variation paths. We construct the associated class of processes as the unique solution of a stochastic differential equation. The quenched branching property of the process allows us to derive qu...
