Unconscious death-thoughts as a mediator between death awareness and self-forgiveness
… is an important psychological mechanism in unconscious avoidance of death-related anxiety. I posited that Terror Management Theory encapsulates existential motivations for self-forgiveness; that is, I suggested self-forgiveness might buffer self-esteem reductions secondary to guilt and …

Investigation of neural correlates of bladder control using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in patients with overactive bladder (OAB)
… (OAB) is considered to be a disorder of the urinary bladder and is defined by the International Continence Society Terminology Committee as "urgency, with or without urge incontinence, usually with frequency and nocturia". There is some preliminary evidence using functional magnetic resonance …

Magical Artifice and Artificial History in the 'Roman de Perceforest'
The 'Roman de Perceforest' contains fascinating and original portrayals of magical artifice, which have intrigued scholars of Old French for many decades. It is also a peculiarly overt project of 'artificial' history, filling in a lacuna of Arthurian genealogy: King Perceforest's dynasty in pagan …

Immersed Lagrangian Fillings of Legendrian Submanifolds via Generating Families
<p>When a Legendrian sub manifold admits a generating family (GF), Sabloff and Traynor proved that there is an isomorphism between the GF-cohomology groups of the Legendrian and the cohomology groups of any GF-compatible embedded Lagrangian filling. In this paper, we show that a similar isomorphism …

Cardiac Autonomic Assessment and Diastolic Function in Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury
The primary purpose of this thesis was to examine the validity and reproducibility of the QT-variability index (QTVI) as a measure of cardiac autonomic function in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). The secondary purpose was to investigate the influence of cardiac autonomic activity and …

Healing Processes of Periapical Endodontic Leasions after Retrograde Filling // Оздравителни процеси на периапикални възпалителни изменения от ендодонтски произход след ретроградно запълване
Endodontic surgery is an important part in the treatment of endodontic lesions. Sometimes it is the only option for some endodontic conditions. The apical resection ends with an exposed apical dentine surface which is why it is sometimes necessary to perform a retrograde cavity for a retrograde …

Phase diagram for the S equals one-half and J equals three-halves Kondo lattice model
… total angular momentum J is formulated using a pseudofermion representation and without addition of RKKY interaction terms. An Hartree-Fock treatment is applied, and both variational and Green's function methods are used to calculate physical quantities from the linearized Hamiltonian. The …

EXOTIC PHASES IN A SPIN-1 BOSONIC FLUX SYSTEM
We study, using the optimisation of matrix product states, the ground state properties of an interacting spin-1 hardcore boson model on a ladder in a transverse magnetic field at zero temperature. At unit filling in the strong-interacting regime, we observe a Mott insulator phase characterised by a …
