A unified theoretical framework for understanding suicidal and self-harming behavior: Synthesis of diverging definitions and perspectives

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) has largely been associated with self-harm and chronic suicidality, despite the fact that these behaviours comprise only one diagnostic criterion. Treatments for self-harm are mostly indicated for individuals with BPD. Emerging literature suggests that youth with histories of depression are at risk of both self-harm and completed suicide. For individuals with

Assignment of gene for coagulation factor V to chromosome 1 in man and to chromosome 13 in rat

Two different factor V cDNA fragments were used as hydridization probes in the chromosomal assignment of the human and rat factor V genes. A 1.6-kb EcoRI fragment was used as a hybridization probe to analyze a panel of human-rodent somatic cell hybrids. Cosegregation of factor V specific DNA restriction fragments with human chromosome 1 was observed. In addition, a panel of rat-mouse somatic cell

Packaging Technology for the Logistician, 3rd edition

Most people recognize packaging as necessary with respect to its protective functions, but some doubt that the packaging industry is providing solutions that are good from a socioeconomic/ecological point of view. Packages influences lifestyles as well as the standard of living and people’s behavior, and therefore must be considered in areas of behavioral science and communication. The central rol

Self-administered EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) in Individuals With Fibromyalgia: A Randomized Trial

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate whether self-administered Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) lead to reduced pain perception, increased acceptance and coping ability, and better health-related quality of life in individuals with fibromyalgia. Methods: Eighty-six women, diagnosed with fibromyalgia and on sick leave for at least 3 months, were randomly assigned to a treatment gro

Hardware Implementation of the Exponential Function Using Taylor Series

This paper presents hardware implementations of Taylor series. The focus will be on the exponential function but the methodology is applicable on any unary function. Two different architectures are investigated, one, original, straight forward and one modified structure. The outcomes are higher performance, lower area, and lower power consumption for the modified architecture compared to the origi

An Adaptive Friction Compensator for Global Tracking in Robot Manipulators

It is well known that one of the major limitations to achieve good performance in mechanical systems is the presence of friction, which is a nonlinear phenomenon difficult to model. In a recent paper Canudas and co-workers proposed to represent it with a nonlinear dynamical model. The friction compensation problem with this model is stymied by the fact that the parameters are uncertain and some of
