Predictors and Outcomes of Pica
Pica is an eating disorder of chewing non-nutritional substances such as ice, dirt, corn starch, paint etc. for more than one month, as diagnosed based on DSM-V criteria. Pagophagia (consumption of ice) is the predominant type of pica in adults and geophagia (consumption of dirt) is most common in …

A systematic review on the neurological and psychopathological correlates of pica
Pica, the consumption of non-nutritive substances for longer than 30 days, has had several aetiologies reported. These include micronutrient deficiency, psychological and developmental disorders, and neurological and neurochemical pathologies, with a predominant focus in literature on micronutrient …

PARALLEL INDEPENDENT COMPONENT ANALYSIS WITH REFERENCE FOR IMAGING GENETICS: A SEMI-BLIND MULTIVARIATE APPROACH
… independent component analysis with reference (pICA-R), to better reveal relationships between hidden factors of particular attributes. First, a consistency-based order estimation approach is introduced to advance the application of ICA to genotype data. The pICA-R approach is then presented, …

The impact of sequential lineups on unconscious transference: does knowing the number of photos in the lineup matter?
… from a lineup. In Ross, Atkinson, Rosenberg, Pica, and Pozullo (2014), the use of a sequential lineup procedure, in which faces are presented one at a time, drastically reduced the unconscious transference error, but at the cost of also reducing the rate of correct identifications. However, in …
