POSTTRAUMATIC CULTURAL DIFFERENCES IN TRAUMA-CENTERED IDENTITY AND SELF-CONSISTENCY
… differences have also been observed in levels of self-consistency. Individualistic cultures value high levels of consistency, whereas collectivistic cultures promote identity flexibility and adaptation to different social contexts. Several PTSD models describe the involvement of selfconsistency in …

The Predictive Accuracy of Conscientiousness when Responses are Dissimulated: Does Self-Consistency Matter?
… to distort item responses interacted with self-consistency in the prediction of performance on a clerical task. Findings suggested that despite range restriction and the existence of faking behavior, a positive correlation between conscientiousness and performance exists. Variation of …

An investigation into the influence of cross-cultural differences in self-consistency and desirability on well-being and posttraumatic psychological adjustment.
Objectives: The self (content and structure) has been shown to play a major role in psychological processes involved in well-being and universal disorders, including depression, anxiety and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, many theories of such disorders give little consideration to …

Self-Consistency of the Lauritzen-Hoffman and Strobl Models of Polymer Crystallization Evaluated for Poly(ε-caprolactone) Fractions and Effect of Composition on the Phenomenon of Concurrent Crystallization in Polyethylene Blends
Narrow molecular weight fractions of Poly(ε-caprolactone) were successfully obtained using the successive precipitation fractionation technique with toluene/n-heptane as a solvent/nonsolvent pair. Calorimetric studies of the melting behavior of fractions that were crystallized either isothermally …

Living expressions and their effects on primary recipients
… and/or relatives. Effects of events on the self-esteem of recipients and recipient's relationships with disclosers were studied. Self-esteem and self-disclosure are components of personal and relational health. Living Expressions were expected to enhance self-esteem and personal …

Dynamics in quantum spin glass systems
… As a main result, a set of highly coupled self-consistency equations for the spin-spin correlations can be formulated. Beyond the so-called spin-static approximation two complementary systematic approximation schemes are developed in order to render the occurring integration problem …

Order Theory and Nonparametric Analysis for Interval Censored Data
… Turnbull (1976). We discuss some properties of self-consistent estimators of the CDF in light of the structure of M. We show the identity between self-consistency augmented by Kuhn-Tucker conditions and Fenchel duality, which characterize the NPMLE on M. We port to M recently developed isotonic …

Theoretical models of many-quark bound states
… (MFDn). We were able to perform a limited set of self-consistency checks of MFDq in the 4-body problem to test a proper treatment of all computed matrix elements.;Finally, calculations are presented using MFDn to predict the properties of 4-body charmonium bound states. With MFDn, we did find a …

Unexpected Universality in Disordered Systems and Modeling Perpendicular Recording Media
… well-defined reliability range and it allows for self-consistency checks. Second, the presence of dipolar interactions in the range of typical recording media substantially enhances the reliability of this method. Third, it is robust even in the presence of randomness in exchange or magnetostatic …

Full band ensemble Monte Carlo simulation of silicon devices
… been developed. The band structure data for this self-consistent device simulator were computed using the empirical pseudopotential method. The ensemble Monte Carlo technique used in the simulations is described in detail. A homogeneous simulator, based on the same transport physics, is used to …

Multi-Tokamak Assessment of Modeled Temperature Profiles
… transport solvers to achieve flux-matching and self-consistency between heat sources and transport. The experimental temperature and density profiles were used as a starting point for the analysis. Three different SAT rules were used (SAT3 [4], SAT2-EM [5], and SAT2-EM as implemented in ASTRA …

Culture, Identity Consistency, and Subjective Well -Being
… have multiple views of themselves. Whereas the consistency among these multiple selves is traditionally emphasized in North American cultures, the different aspects of the self are more often viewed as coexisting realities rather than as contradictions in East Asian cultures. Two pilot studies …

Studies on Combining Sequence and Structure for Protein Classification
… method. We developed a stringent algorithm, self-consistency grouping (SCG) method, which clusters proteins if all the proteins in the group are more similar to each other than to proteins outside the group. Comparison of SCG and other commonly used clustering methods to a widely accepted …

The effect of gain saturation on actively mode-locked laser pulses
… gain for the first time in the analysis, self-consistency relations have been found. The resulting pulse characteristics* based on typical Nd:YAG laser parameters show a strong dependence of the output pulsewidths on the pump intensity. as well as of the interpulse spacing on the length of …

Anistropic phenomena in strongly correlated electron systems
… drastically simplified but physically motivated self-consistency scheme for DMFT. This is combined for the first time with cluster DMFT, within which different magnetic orders and momentum anisotropy may be represented consistently. The extent of antiferromagnetism is determined; phases are …

Energy loss and theoretical uncertainties in small quark-gluon plasmas
… approxima-tions in the model. We investigate the self- consistency of the various approximations used in the derivation of the Djordjevic-Gyulassy-Levai-Vitev (DGLV) radiative energy loss model, where we find that a particular approximation—the large formation time approximation—is not satisfied …

Unsupervised segmentation of heart sounds
… segmenter is designed to take advantage of the self consistency of heart sounds. The algorithm operates by calculating multiple local autocorrelations in order to estimate the time offset to the next heart beat. A change in the time offset marks the boundary between heartbeats. It correctly …

Assessing electronic transport in solid materials via the fluctuation-dissipation theorem

Lowest Landau level field theory for the fractional quantum Hall effect

An Investigation of Full-Wave Effects on Lower-Hybrid Wave Propagation, Absorption, and Current Drive

Our simulations of Alcator C-Mod, DIII-D, and the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), suggest full wave effects are unlikely to be of particular importance in reactor-like scenarios …
