The present study investigated the relationship between forgivingness and action orientation, and examined the mediating role of action orientation for the neuroticism-forgivingness association. Participants (N = 210) completed the Tendency to Forgive Scale (TTF; Brown, 2003), two subscales from the Action Control Scale (ACS-90; Kuhl, 1994b) and the Neuroticism scale from the short form of the ...

Convolutional neural networks have many hyperparameters such as the filter size, number of filters, and pooling size, which require manual tuning. Though deep stacked structures are able to create multi-scale and hierarchical representations, manually fixed filter sizes limit the scale of representations that can be learned in a single convolutional layer. This paper introduces a new adaptive f...

Scale-orientation signature space represents a non-linear transformation from normal grey-level image space. From this point of view there are similarities with other representations such as radial basis functions, Fourier, Mellin and wavelet transforms. Morphological related techniques are used to generate the scale-orientation space. A series of filtering techniques, based on selectively remo...

research findings suggest that the family context and communication patterns have high correlation with adolescent’s mental health indicators such as anxiety. therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the mediator role of coping strategies in relation between family communication patterns and students social anxiety. 140 students of shiraz guidance schools were studied they completed th...
