Adult attachment theory is increasingly being conceptualized within a traumatic framework, however, few studies have examined temporal relationships between the insecure attachment orientations (attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance) and symptoms of posttraumatic stress (PTS). PTS refers to symptoms associated with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the absence of a clinical diagnosi...

Children's anxiety for situations requiring mathematical problem solving, a concept referred to as math anxiety, has a unique and detrimental impact on concurrent and long-term mathematics achievement and life success. Little is known about the factors that contribute to the emergence of math anxiety. The current study builds on the hypothesis that math anxiety might reflect a maladaptive affec...

OBJECTIVE This study tested whether insecure attachment mediates the link between childhood trauma and adult somatization. METHODS A community sample of 101 couples completed self-report measures, including the Relationship Scales Questionnaire, the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, the Somatic Symptom Inventory, the Beck Depression Inventory, and the Conflict Tactics Scale. RESULTS Childhood...

OBJECTIVE To estimate the association between attachment security in children aged 24 months and their risk for obesity at 4½ years of age. Insecure attachment is associated with unhealthy physiologic and behavioral responses to stress, which could lead to development of obesity. DESIGN Cohort study. SETTING National sample of US children born in 2001. PARTICIPANTS Children and mothers pa...

Component technologies have been widely adopted for designing and engineering software applications and systems, which dynamically integrate software components to achieve desired functionalities. Engineering software in a component-based style has significant benefits, such as improved programmer productivity and software reliability. To support component integration, operating systems allow a...

BACKGROUND Intolerance of Uncertainty (IU) is recognized for its contribution to various psychopathologies, in particular anxiety and depression. Studies highlight the relevance of IU for Eating Disorders (EDs) however, potential factors contributing to IU in EDs remain unstudied. METHODS Three hundred and forty-nine women with ED symptoms and 214 individuals without ED symptoms were recruite...

Article history: Received 16 February 2016 Received in revised form 15 March 2016 Accepted 16 March 2016 Available online xxxx This study investigated the mediating role of emotional intelligence in the relationship between adult insecure attachment and subjective ill health. A sample of 343 Australian adults, aged between 18 and 77 years, completed measures of attachment, emotional intelligenc...

Key management represents a major and the most sensitive part of cryptographic systems. It includes key generation, key distribution, key storage, and key deletion. It is also considered the hardest part of cryptography. Designing secure cryptographic algorithms is hard, and keeping the keys secret is much harder. Cryptanalysts usually attack both symmetric and public key cryptosystems through ...

We propose a solution that provides secure storage for cryptographic precomputation using only insecure memory that is susceptible to eavesdropping and tampering. Specifically, we design a small tamper-resistant hardware module, the Queue Security Proxy (QSP), that situates transparently on the data-path between the processor and the insecure memory. Our analysis shows that our design is secure...
