The Influence of Spatial Distance Priming on Test Anxiety and Judgments
<p>This paper examined the effects of distance priming on test anxiety and judgment. Research suggests that individuals’ perceived distance can impact their affect and judgments, which sheds light on the principle of “distance equals safety” (Williams & Bargh, 2008). Taking an exam invokes both …

Performance Analysis of a Binary-Tree-Based Algorithm for Computing Spatial Distance Histograms
… and processing are very challenging tasks. Spatial Distance Histogram (SDH) is one of the most popular queries being used in this field. In this thesis, we are interested in investigating the performance of improvement of an existing algorithm for computing SDH. The algorithm already being …

Impact of Spatial Distance and Pollinators on Floral and Fruit Bacterial Communities of Solanum carolinense
… the 16S rRNA gene marker, are shaped across spatial and environmental gradients and the role of pollinators in shaping floral bacterial communities among natural populations of Solanum carolinense. There have been limited studies on how spatial distance influences bacterial communities found …

Remote management: traditional leadership behaviors in a contemporary work environment
Today the geographic distance between workers is increasing. The purpose of this study was to investigate the distributed work environment by specifically focusing on leader behavior and its impact on subordinate outcomes. This study asked if the traditional core set of leadership behaviors is …

An Analysis of Grey Theory for Personal Affective Computing
… measures (including two non-parametric), and two spatial distance measures (cosine and Euclidean distance). This comparison proves grey incidence analysis capable of finding contributing factors where correlations and spatial distance measures are unable to, including with flag-type data used to …

Dollar Stores and Supermarket Survivability in Non-metropolitan US Communities
… Survey, and authorized SNAP retailer data. The spatial distance between grocery stores and the number of dollar stores at various radii were calculated. Following the computation of the number of dollar stores surrounding grocery stores, Kaplan Meier curves and Cox proportional hazards models …

Context-Driven Prior Distributions in Genome–Wide Association Studies, Medical Device Adaptive Clinical Trials, and Genetic Fine-Mapping
… and this correlation decreases as the spatial distance between the mutations increases. As a result, treating these variants as independent from one another misses supplementing the estimation of their relationships with the outcome, with this contextual information. In this …

Clustering in Multidimensional Spaces with Applications to Statistics Analysis of Earthquake Clustering
… and Paczuski's (2004) metric for measuring the distance between earthquakes is considered. The metric consists of a product involving the time interval and spatial distance between two earthquakes, as well as the magnitude of the first one. In this work, the metric is formally proved to define …

The Influence of Land Coverage and Soil Chemical Factors on Soil Bacterial Community Diversity and Structure in Cedartown, GA, USA
… predicted that land cover, soil composition, and spatial distance between sampled locations would be important predictors of bacterial community structure, and (3) predicted that soil heavy metal concentrations would affect soil bacterial diversity and structure. We found insignificant levels of …

Cone Beam Optical Computed Tomography-Based Gel Dosimetry
… the delivery, using 3% dose difference and 3 mm spatial distance-to-agreement gamma function comparison criteria. Small field dose delivery evaluations are demonstrated to be viable using an optically scattering N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM)-based polymer gel, with the same comparison criteria. …

Time gestures : time conceptualisation in English with evidence from gestures in a multimodal corpus
… language-gesture congruency; and extent or distance. The dataset comprises gestures that co-occur with temporal linguistic expressions which can be further divided into three groups: non-spatial language (e.g. earlier than); spatial, directional language (e.g. back in those days); and …

Dyadic Distance in the Supervisor-Subordinate Relationship
… yet so incompletely understood, than distance. Part of the difficulty in developing a comprehensive and informed understanding of the role distance plays in organizations is that theory and research in this area have been quite fragmented, focusing on narrow aspects of the construct, …

Terahertz oscillations of hot electrons in graphene
… overall effect could also be seen in long-range spatially periodic potentials under steady state conditions. This dissertation also shows that the soft parametric resonance (SPR) at ω = ηωF is temperature independent, and the resonance factor η ∼ 0.56 is weakly dependent on the dc field Fo. This …

CONTROLLED AND AUTOMATIC PROCESSES IN MORAL DECISION-MAKING
… Singer’s (1972) problem on the moral effect of spatial distance. In this thesis I attempt to flesh out a criticism against some aspects of Greene’s dual-process model and to propose a new theory, by disentangling some theoretical classifications (intuition-deliberation, emotioncognition, …
