Abstract:
Aims: The aims of this research were to explore significant client-identified disclosures that occurred in therapy; specifically, (a) to understand the context, or the factors that contributed to the disclosures, (b) to investigate the process of the disclosure event itself and (c) to track the effects of the disclosure to the end of therapy and beyond. Method: This investigation consisted of a pilot study and a principal study, consisting of six clients who were each interviewed about one significant disclosure that they identified in a session of therapy.

Abstract:
Photographic realism is an effective framework for communicating meaning. In other words, the purpose is to convey an idea--not, for example, to depict a landscape. Misuse of photographic images may arise from a photographer's deliberate attempt to imbue an image with the meaning he or she desires. Thus, we might question photography's objective nature, although this should not be confused with realism.

The ignition of a solid is an inherently complex phenomenon influenced by heat and mass transport mechanisms that are, even to this day, not understood in entirety. In order to use ignition data in meaningful engineering application, significant simplifications have been made to the theory of ignition. The most common way to classify ignition is the use of material specific parameters such as such as ignition temperature (Tig) and the critical heat flux for ignition (CHF). These parameters are determined through standardized testing of solid materials – however, the results of these tests are

Abstract:
És sabut de fa molt temps que les inversions cromosòmiques son mantenides per selecció natural a les poblacions de Drosophila. No obstant, els mecanismes moleculars que generen aquest valor adaptatiu encara no es coneixen. A les poblacions naturals de D. buzzatii, la inversió 2j forma un polimorfisme equilibrat amb l’ordenació 2st, en què els individus 2j tenen una mida més gran y un temps de desenvolupament més llarg en comparació amb els 2st. En aquest treball hem posat a provat la hipòtesi de que un efecte de posició d’un dels punts de trencament podria ser la causa d’aquests canvis fenotíp
