Approximation of diffuse attenuation,Kd, for MODIS high-resolution bands

A high resolution depth attenuation product (K_d^hires) was developed using MODIS 500 m and 250 m spectral bands. The K_d^hires was compared with Wang’s operational K_d for the Chesapeake Bay. Minimal differences were observed between the two methods, with greatest deviation occurring in areas of high turbidity in the tributaries. After tuning the new K_d^hires, the mean absolute error and bias between the two algorithms was 0.22 m^?1 and 0.026 m^?1, indicating good agreement. Higher spatial resolution provides for improved retrievals along the coast and into the narrow sections of the tributaries, coinciding with areas of concern to estuarine health and coastal management applications.     

The Relationship between College Graduate’s Dual Self-Consciousness and Job Search Clarity: The Mediating Role of Perceived Stress

The aim of the study was to explore the relationship between college graduates’ dual self-consciousness, job search clarity and perceived stress, and reveal the mediating role of perceived stress between dual self-consciousness and job search clarity. In this study, 467 college graduates were investigated using the Dual Self-Consciousness Scale, Job Search Clarity Scale, and Perceived Stress Scale. After controlling for gender, age, and region, the results revealed that: (1) private self-consciousness has a significant positive predictive effect on job search clarity; (2) perceived stress has a significant negative predictive effect on job search clarity; (3) perceived stress plays partial mediation effects between private self-consciousness and job search clarity; (4) perceived stress plays complete mediation effects between public self-consciousness and job search clarity; (5) perceived stress has suppressing effects between public self-consciousness and job search clarity.     

Short term correlates of the Neuro Emotional Technique for cancer-related traumatic stress symptoms: A pilot case series

Introduction As many as one quarter of all cancer survivors report traumatic stress symptoms from cancer-related experiences. While the majority of these patients do not meet the criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), there is growing evidence that subsyndromal symptoms can significantly contribute to functional impairment and negative health outcomes. Treatment options for the hallmark symptoms of traumatic stress—unpleasant, intrusive thoughts and avoidant behaviors—have not been well investigated for the cancer survivorship population. Materials and methods Seven female cancer survivors with traumatic stress symptoms from cancer-related experiences and no other major psychopathology, were enrolled to receive three sessions of Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET), a brief, targeted treatment that combines traditional desensitization principles with complementary modalities. Results Psychological outcome measures (Impact of Event Scale (IES) and Subjective Units of Distress (SUD) and physiological measures (Heart Rate (HR) and Skin Conductance Level (SCL) demonstrated the following changes: 71% on IES, 88% SUD, 74% on HR, and 65% on SCL following the intervention. Statistically significant changes were observed for all four parameters, and effect size g for proportion improved were 0.50 each for IES, SUD, and HR, and 0.20 for SCL. Conclusions These cases suggest feasibility of the NET intervention for cancer-related traumatic stress and the potential for change in symptoms and physiological reactivity. Further investigation is needed to determine the specific and long-term effects of such an approach. Implications for cancer survivors Traumatic stress from cancer-related experiences might represent a constellation of symptoms that are amenable to brief, targeted interventions.

甘蓝复合果蔬汁的稳定性

单一的稳定剂并不能解决甘蓝复合果蔬汁的稳定性问题,而多种稳定剂的稳定效果较好,为此挑选出较好的3种稳定剂,对其进行不同比例的复配,观察一段时间的相对粘度及浊度变化,发现两种稳定剂的复配就能达到稳定的效果,最佳添加量(质量分数)为果胶0.07%,黄原胶0 03%.     

大学生的元担忧、情感表达与友善的关系研究

目的：探讨元担忧、情感表达与友善之间的关系。方法：采用元担忧量表、情感表达量表和友善量表对170名工科大学生进行了问卷调查。结果：①性别对外向思维、友善易接近性和有益性有显著的影响；年级对友善的易接近性有显著影响；在情感描述不能和自我概念上存在性别与年级的交互作用。②元担忧对友善存在直接负向预测作用，对情感表达有直接正向预测作用，情感表达对友善存在直接负向预测作用。结论：打破元担忧恶性循环．增加情感表达，能够有效增强大学生对他人的友善表现。     

妇癌患者的社会心理因素调查

本文以自编病前负性情绪调查表、ＬＳＥ─Ｒ及ＥＰＱ对５６例妇癌住院病人进行了调查，并以５６例内科病住院病人作对照。结果显示，６９．６％的妇癌病人在病前有负性情绪，而内科病病人只有１６．１％；８５．７％的妇癌病人病前经历了负性生活事件，而内科病组则为５８．９％；ＥＰＱ评定结果神经质分亦为前者高于后者，均提示社会心理因素与妇癌的发生密切相关。     

Emotional reactivity and sympatho-adrenal activity in the rat (author's transl)

Using the open-field test, differences in emotional reactivity were shown in male rats of several albino strains. These behavioural differences were then investigated in relation to physiological differences. It was found that, under resting conditions, sympatho-adrenomedullary activity as estimated by urinary catecholamine excretion and adrenal catecholamine content is lower in the more emotionally reactive rats. The resting heart rate is correspondingly slower in these animals though they show the same noradrenaline cardiac concentration as the nonreactive rats. These data suggest that high defecating rats in the open-field exhibit a lower sympathetic tonus, possibly linked, however, with a higher parasympathetic tonus.     

情绪智力与大学生焦虑、抑郁和心境的关系研究

自Ｇｏｌｅｍａｎ《情绪智力》[1] 一书出版以来 ,情绪智力一词已为很多人所熟悉。情绪智力一般被定义为个体适应性地知觉、理解、调节和利用自己及他人的情绪的能力[2 - 3] 。虽然情绪智力有时被当作能力(或智力 )看待[2 ,4 ] ,有时则被认为是个性特质[5- 8] ,但研究者都相信情绪智力对于个体在现实生活中取得成功起着十分重要的作用[1] 。关于情绪智力常见的一个命题是个体情绪智力越高越能体会到情绪上的幸福感 (Ｅｍｏｔｉｏｎａｌｗｅｌｌ -ｂｅｉｎｇ) [1- 2 ] 。为了回答这个问题 ,本研究拟探讨情绪智力与大学生焦虑、抑郁和心境的关…     

Fear Imagery and Text Processing

This study examined the effect of three variables held to influence heart rate response during imagery-related text processing: mode of processing, content of text, and inclusion of response information in the text. Sixty-four undergraduates imagined and silently repeated fearful and neutral sentences in a paradigm designed to allow for self-initiation of sentence processing. Fear sentences either included or did not include information about bodily responses in the image. Heart rate accelerated more during fear imagery than during neutral imagery or silent repetition of either type of sentence. Inclusion of response information in fear material did not increase heart rate response to imagery, but did affect self-report in the predicted direction. Heart rate waveform prior to the sentence tasks indicated pre-processing of fearful material. The results were discussed in relation to a bio-informational theory of imagery, which asserts that emotional imagery accesses the same centrally-mediated response program as is evoked in the target reality context, and thus occasions measurable activity in the appropriate effectors.
