Abstract:

Oral Biology<br>M.S.<br>The use of self-ligating brackets has gained popularity recently in orthodontic treatment. The Damon philosophy is a system that employs passive self-ligation with the use of light forces to achieve arch development and to relieve dental crowding. The philosophy of the system is that the use of light forces does not overpower the forces of the lips, tongue, and other peri-oral soft tissue thereby allowing for optimal equilibration of forces that is customized to every individual. If this actually occurs, changes in the posture of the tongue and hyoid would be expected a

Abstract:

A crucial step in assessing the scientific basis of a psychotherapeutic intervention is examining the individual components of the treatment to determine if they are additive or important to treatment outcomes. The construct of self-as-context (S-A-C), a central process in the acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) approach, has not yet been studied in a component analysis. A previous dismantling trial, however, has shown this process has an additive effect as part of an ACT package (Williams, 2006). The current study is a preliminary trial of feasibility and efficacy to determine a) the p

This thesis presents some substantial theoretical analyses and optimal treatments of Kohonen's self-organising map (SOM) algorithm, and explores the practical application potential of the algorithm for vector quantisation, pattern classification, and image processing. It consists of two major parts. In the first part, the SOM algorithm is investigated and analysed from a statistical viewpoint. The proof of its universal convergence for any dimensionality is obtained using a novel and extended form of the Central Limit Theorem. Its feature space is shown to be an approximate multivariate Gaussi

Child sexual offenders rated themselves and their view of a typical child molester using two NEO-PI-R versions.

While, the biological processes that cause IVDD are not currently fully understood, IVDD can be characterised as progressive degeneration of the nucleus pulposus tissue, driven by a combination of inflammatory immune processes, enzymatic degradation of

Obesity is an increasing public health issue in many parts of the world. Lifestyle treatment is the recommended first-line treatment although the weight reduction over time is limited. Food addiction (FA) is an upcoming perspective viewing some individual’s eating behaviors as similar to substance abuse described in DSM-IV-TR. What impact FA might have in lifestyle treatment is unclear. Self-efficacy for physical activity (SEPA) is a well-known predictor for physical activity and a variable in lifestyle treatment.

Approximately two hours were spent on guiding each patient and the large effect found differs from previous studies that showed smaller effects, probably due to lack of guidance.

Perceived discrimination and self-concealment may also negatively affect whether African Americans seek help for depression and from whom, but further in

There is increasing awareness of the prevalence of deliberate self-harm (DSH) although the phenomenon is still poorly understood. Those who self-harm often have a poor long-term prognosis, yet systematic focused treatment interventions are scarce.

Given this fact, a behavioural mode of DSH may be appropriate. A range of events are

Current empirical evidence suggests that true recovery from eating disorders is not possible without a corresponding improvement in body image and self-esteem. Ten studies in current literature evaluate this relationship between self-esteem and clinical eating disorders during inpatient treatment or during follow-up studies but do not provide both pre- (baseline) and post-treatment self-esteem scores.
