Detecting Cardiovascular Emotional Dampening: An Exploration of Emotional Dampening at Different Levels of Emotion Processing
Background: Cardiovascular emotional dampening is the phrase used to describe the inverse relationship between blood pressure and emotional responsivity. The emotional dampening literature is limited, but the phenomenon is thought to be related to the development of cardiovascular disease. Little …

RESPONSES TO POSITIVE AFFECT: AN EXAMINATION OF POSITIVE RUMINATION AND DAMPENING
… to positive mood, should enhance PA, whereas "dampening" responses should diminish PA. The Response to Positive Affect Scale (RPA; Feldman et al., in press) was created to measure these constructs. Preliminary research has found that measures of positive rumination and dampening help predict …

A study of type-2 fuzzy clustering
… optimization procedure. We devise three dampening approaches to mitigate this problem. Vertical cut dampening, linear dampening, and reflection dampening are defined along with the experiments conducted on a synthetic dataset named the butterfly dataset. We also illustrate the updated …

Longitudinal coupling of emotional wellbeing in parent-adolescent dyads: evaluating the role of daily life positive affect socialization processes
… anhedonia and parental daily-life enhancing and dampening responses to youth positive affect. Study 2 examined associations between parental enhancing and dampening and trajectories of youth positive affect, negative affect, and depressive symptom development across one year. Study 3 evaluated …

Microhabitat Temperature Variations and the Post-Burn Response of Vegetation in the Edwards Plateau of Texas
… under some tree canopies has, however, a dampening effect on temperature. Herbaceous vegetation was largely unaffected by the fire over one growing season, whereas the undesirable woody species Juniperus Ashei was effectively controlled.

Design and implementation of nanoscale fiber mechanical testing apparatus
… dynamic tests to look at fiber recovery rates, dampening, and fatigue. The force resolution obtained using a quartz strain gauge and a Zeaman interferometer was in the order of 1 nN and the forces measured by the instrument ranged over 10 orders of magnitude. This paper will present the design …

EMOTION REGULATION IN CONTEXT: CONSIDERING THE ROLE OF MOTIVES, PERSONALITY TRAITS, AND EMOTION COMPETENCE IN INFLUENCING THE DAILY USE OF EMOTION REGULATION STRATEGIES
… regulating negative emotions, and savoring and dampening when regulating positive emotions. Using an experience sampling methodology (N=119), we examined how motives and dispositional variables, such as personality traits and emotion competence, influence the use of emotion regulation strategies …

Genomic Analysis of Chemo-Resistance to HDAC inhibitor in Gastric Cancer cells
… is likely to mediate this resistance through the dampening of HDACi-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cancer cells. The discovery of RNH1 as a regulator of HDACi resistance in gastric cancer highlights a functional role for ROS induction in the cellular effects of this important drug class

Three essays on financial markets
… signals may preserve informed traders' profit by dampening competition. When the noise level is relatively low, the competition dampening effect dominates. What's more important, there is an optimal noise level at which informed traders' profit is maximized. (b) If the optimal noise level can be …
