Why do rejection sensitive individuals fear rejection? An interpretative phenomenological analysis
Research demonstrates that rejection sensitivity develops through early, continuing, or acute experiences of rejection from caregivers and significant others. Rejection sensitivity refers to individuals who anxiously or angrily expect, readily perceive, and intensely react to rejection. The …

Excessive reassurance-seeking, interpersonal rejection, rejection sensitivity and depressive symptoms: an intervention focusing on mediating mechanisms
… (Coyne, 1976), which then elicits interpersonal rejection, further exacerbating depressive symptoms (Joiner et. al., 1992). A new cognitive-behavioral theory postulates that excessive reassurance-seeking temporarily reduces rejection sensitivity (anxious expectations of rejection) in depressed …

Humoral alloimmunity in cardiac allograft rejection
… characterisation of alloantibody mediated rejection in a murine heart transplant model, with particular focus on the impact of the different phases of the humoral alloimmune response (follicular or germinal centre) on graft rejection.

The management of corneal graft rejection
Descriptions of corneal disease and suggested treatments have been documented since the ancient civilisations of Egypt and Greece. However, in these cultures corneal surgery was limited to various types of superficial keratectomy. The idea of corneal grafting was suggested relatively recently3,4• …

Acceptance or rejection of a marriage contract
The objectives of this study were to study whether a certain type marriage contract would be used if legal and available; to study the relationship between acceptance of a marriage contract and demographical characteristics of subjects; and to study which clauses in a marriage contracts would be …

Overcoming skin rejection in composite tissue allotransplantation
… is constrained by the susceptibility of skin to rejection. The aim of this thesis is to improve our understanding of skin rejection and find ways to avoid it, in order to enable expansion of the application of composite tissue transplantation techniques. The first part of the thesis explores the …

Disturbance Rejection and Control in Web Servers
An important factor for a user of web sites on the Internet is the duration of time between the request of a web page until an answer has been returned. If this response time is too long, the user is likely to abandon the web site and search for other providers of the service. To avoid this loss of …

Women’s Internalization and Rejection of Sexist Humour
Most research has examined men’s reactions to sexist humour, making it unclear how sexist (i.e., anti-female) humour impacts women. Accordingly, the purpose of Study 1 (N=225) was to investigate women’s proximal joke reactions, that is, ratings of amusement and inoffensiveness for sexist …

RC relaxational oscillator with high supply rejection
A low power RC relaxation oscillator with very low voltage and temperature sensitivities is presented. Supply sensitivity is reduced by using a self-regulation loop that biases the oscillator near its zero-voltage coefficient point. Fabricated in a 65nm CMOS process, the prototype 1.5MHz oscillator …

Analysis of truckload prices and rejection rates
… by their carriers, a phenomenon called tender rejection. When this happens, the shipper has to find alternative carriers and most of the time the price for the load increases. With weekly rejection rate as a dependent variable, and with variability of volume, length of haul, or the differential …

Adaptive feedback technique for unmodeled disturbance rejection
… disturbances via the fixed controller and rejection of steady disturbances via the adaptive controller. This technique differs from other control techniques in that it does not require a measurement of an external signal coherent with the disturbance, nor does it require knowledge of how …

Rejection-Free and Partial Neighbor Search MCMC Algorithms
… $\pi$. To improve its efficiency, we can use the Rejection-Free version of the Metropolis algorithm, which avoids the inefficiency of rejections by evaluating all neighbors. Rejection-Free can be made more efficient through parallel hardware. However, for some specialized hardware, such as Digital …

THE ROLE OF DENDRITIC CELLS IN GRAFT REJECTION
… variety of methods have been explored to prevent rejection and achieve transplant tolerance in mouse models. There are several factors that contribute to acquired tolerance. Recent studies have focused on the inhibition of costimulatory molecules and TLRs in Dendritic Cells (DCs), as a key to the …

Destruction of Corneal Nerves Promotes Corneal Allograft Rejection
… are the population at the highest risk of immune rejection and have only a 70% success rate with the second corneal allograft, and the rate of rejection continues to increase with each successive graft. Why subsequent corneal allografts have an increased incidence of rejection is unknown. Due to …

The effect of racial representation on rejection sensitivity
… group settings impacts experiences of social rejection among people of color. Grounded in Minority Stress Theory and Rejection Sensitivity Theory, this project explored whether the presence of racial diversity can reduce expectations of discrimination and buffer against the negative effects of …
