Identity-Focused Therapist Self-Disclosure in Matched Sexual/Gender Minority Dyads: A Longitudinal Therapy Process-Outcome Study
<p>Therapist self-disclosure (TSD) is a controversial clinical intervention whose benefits and drawbacks remain contested. Notably, no prior research has differentiated explicitly between self-disclosures related to the therapist’s core identities and those peripheral to identity, and qualitative …

Use of the Traffic Speed Deflectometer for Concrete and Composite Pavement Structural Health Assessment: A Big-Data-Based Approach Towards Concrete and Composite Pavement Management and Rehabilitation
… among which the Traffic Speed Deflectometer [TSD], allow measuring pavement surface deflections at travel speeds as high as 95 km/h [60 miles per hour], and reporting the said measurements with a spatial resolution as dense as 5cm [2 inches] between consecutive measurements. Since their …

Sex Determination And Differentiation In The Common Snapping Turtle - A Reptile With Temperature-Dependent Sex Determination
<p>Temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD) was first discovered in an African lizard over 40 years ago. TSD has since been shown to be exhibited by many vertebrates including some fish and amphibians, numerous lizards, turtles, and all crocodilians studied to date. Although numerous questions …

An efficient three-dimensional database driven approach for multi scale homogenization
… years. In this research, a two-scale database (TSD) model is presented to address this limitation. Instead of homogenizing the RVEs response to macroscopic deformations, the macroscopic quantities are now approximated using a database of precomputed RVEs. The homogenized results of an RVE are …

Master Therapists' Perceptions of Self-Disclosure Use in Individual Psychotherapy: A Qualitative Study
… practitioners use therapist self-disclosure (TSD; Lane, Farber, & Geller, 2001; Henretty & Levitt, 2010), clients say it is helpful (Hanson, 2005) Hill, Helms, Tichenor, Spiegel, O’Grady, & Perry, E., 1988), and a growing body of research and theory suggests that avoiding TSD in all …

A Study on Heterotic Target Space Duality – Bundle Stability/Holomorphy, F-theory and LG Spectra
… The notion of target space duality (TSD) originates in non-geometric phases and can be used to generate distinct GLSMs with shared geometric phases leading to apparently identical target space theories. To date, this duality has largely been studied at the level of counting states in …
