Predictors of PTSD symptoms for criterion A and non-criterion A events
… PTSD symptoms for events that do and do not meet criterion A. Event, person, and cognitive variables included in this study explained 47% of the variance in PTSD symptoms for the criterion A group and 56% of the variance in PTSD symptoms for the noncriterion A group. In both groups, cognitive …

Sexual Harassment -Related Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: An Investigation of Symptom Structure and Criterion A
… Second, what constitutes a potential trauma (Criterion A1)? Does it need to be a high-magnitude event (e.g., rape), or can low-magnitude events (e.g., sexual harassment) precipitate PTSD? Third, should an intense emotional response to an event be required for a PTSD diagnosis (Criterion A2)? …

Robust and reliable control in discrete time
… Frobenius-Hankel (FH) norm as an optimization criterion, a straightforward approach is obtained for computing controllers that have constraints on the order of the controller, for the centralized and decentralized feedback cases.

Associations Between Maternal Reflective Functioning and Adolescent Personality Pathology
… in self and interpersonal functioning (AMPD Criterion A), and maladaptive personality traits (AMPD Criterion B). Our secondary aim was to evaluate group differences in maternal RF for adolescents categorized as reaching the clinical threshold for personality pathology and those below the …

In Their Own Words: Faculty/Staff and Student Accounts of Stress at Virginia Tech on April 16, 2007
… not always necessary to meet the "stressor" A criterion of PTSD. This is crucial because the "stressor" criterion A of PTSD is required to receive the diagnosis of PTSD. Although I found subtle stress differences for women compared to men, and faculty/staff compared to students, none of the …

Adaptive Control of Markov Chains: An Optimization Oriented Approach (Queueing Networks, Stochastic Models, Computer)
… system is measured by a long run average cost criterion. A direct approach to the optimization of the performance is not feasible. A common procedure calls for an on-line estimation of the unknown parameter and the minimization of the cost functional using the estimate in lieu of the true …

An outcome-based statistical framework to select and optimize molecular clustering methods for infectious diseases
… through the loss of Akaike's information criterion, a metric which indicates the benefit of predictive variables given a threshold. I compare thresholds which maximize this loss between clustering methods and data sets, analyzing the optimum thresholds for clustering at each location.

A heuristic method for the optimal design of water distribution systems
… and maximum head requirements and a reliability criterion. A two step procedure is proposed to find a near optimal design. The first step considers obtaining a near optimal tree layout using a heuristic tree search algorithm. Two different methods are followed for the tree search - one for single …

Designing hypothesis tests for digital image matching
… in the match/mismatch decision as performance criterion. A stochastic model is proposed for the image pair, and the optimal test of match and mismatch hypotheses for samples of this random process is derived. The test is written conveniently in terms of a statistic of the two images and a …

High velocity impact fracture
… newly developed Bao-Wierzbicki's (BW) fracture criterion, a number of distinct failure modes including fragmentation, shear plugging, tensile tearing in rigid mass-to-beam impact, confined fracture, petalling, and shear cracking in the Taylor test, are successfully recreated for the first time …

Mindfulness as a Predictor of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptomatology in an Experiential Avoidance Model
… created consisting of individuals who endorsed a criterion A trauma, but who may or may not meet full PTSD criteria. Experiential avoidance measures of alexithymia and thought suppression were the most robust predictors of PTSD avoidance symptom severity, but mindfulness predicted more individual …

Perceptions of Correlations Between Multiple Cues
… cues when altering the marginal frequency of the criterion. Results indicate that subjects generally underestimate both the focal and non-focal correlations. An overestimation of the correlation can be induced when the focal correlation is large and the marginal frequency favors ""Large"" values …

Development of a machine vision based oyster meat sorter
… use of projected area measurements as a sorting criterion. A machine vision based oyster meat sorting machine was developed to mechanize the sorting process. The machine consists of a dark conveyor belt transporting singulated oysters through a grading station and then along a row of fast acting …
