Although emotional expressivity figures prominently in several theories of psychological and physical functioning, limitations of currently available measurement techniques impede precise and economical testing of these theories. The 17-item Emotional Expressivity Scale (EES) was designed as a self-report measure of the extent to which people outwardly display their emotions. Reliability studie...

the perovskite-type oxides strontium-substituted lanthanum nickelate (lsno) were prepared by a coprecipitation method in the present of octanoic acid as surfactant. the phase composition, morphology,lattice parameters and size of nanoparticles in these materials were characterized through fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem...

We show that the following unlinking strategy does not always yield an optimal sequence of crossing changes: first split the link with the minimal number of crossing changes, and then unknot the resulting components. The unlinking number u(L) of a link L in S is the minimal number of crossing changes required to turn a diagram of L into a diagram of the unlink. Here we take the minimum over all...

This paper presents a new family of complex spreading sequences designed using mutually orthogonal(MO) complementary sets. Based on the technique described in this paper, the correlation properties ofsets ofsequences are compared to well-known Walsh-Hadamard sequence sets. Further improvement of correlation qualities can be achieved by employing a diagonal modification method. We also present s...
