Vagal suppression buffers against the negative effects of psychological inflexibility on parenting behaviors in combat deployed fathers
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2020-09-16)Objective: Vagal suppression is a parasympathetic physiological indicator of emotion regulation and social engagement behaviors, often measured via heart rate variability. Experiential avoidance reflects psychological ... -
Valence tautomerism induced nucleophilic ipso substitution in a coordinated tetrabromocatecholate ligand and diverse catalytic activity mimicking the function of phenoxazinone synthase
(Elsevier B.V., 2016-02)Two new manganese(III) complexes, [pyH][Mn(Br(4)Cat)(2)(PY)1 (1) and [Mn(Br(4)Cat)(Br(3)PYCat)(PY)(2)] (2), where py is pyridine, Br(4)CatH(2) is tetrabromocatechol and Br(3)pyCatH(2) is 3,5,6-tribromo-4-pyridiniumcatechol, ... -
Validation of a teamwork perceptions measure to increase patient safety
(BMJ Publishing Group Ltd, 2014-09)Background TeamSTEPPS (Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety) is a team-training intervention which shows promise in aiding the mitigation of medical errors. This article examines the construct ... -
Validation of depression measures in adolescent populations
(John Wiley & Sons, 1990-05)Four measures of depression were administered to a normative sample (n = 44) and two psychiatric groups of adolescents (n = 40). Measures included the Adolescent Activity Checklist (AAC), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), ... -
The validity of a regression-based procedure for detecting concealed psychopathology in structured personality assessment
(American Psychological Association, 2015-06)Positive Impression Management (PIM) predicted scoring of the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI; Morey, 2007) is a regression-based procedure designed to inform diagnostic hypotheses when respondents engage in positive ... -
Validity of Bardo and Hughey's Monte Carlo simulation
(Sage Publications, 1978-12)In a recent paper (Bardo & Hughey, 1978), relationships between central tendency error and the expected magnitude of Cronbach's coefficient of reliability, alpha, were explored using a Monte Carlo simulation. As a test of ... -
Variation in demography and effect of insect herbivory on Platte thistle (Cirsium canescens) between biogeographic range center and range edge
(Wichita State University, 2020-12)Insect herbivory can reduce plant fitness, but the strength of these effects varies greatly in space and time. The Abundant Center Hypothesis (ACH) states that species will encounter more stressful abiotic conditions at ... -
Variation in effect of insect herbivory on Platte thistle (Cirsium canescens) between biogeographic range center and edge
(Wichita State University, 2020-05-01)INTRODUCTION: Insect herbivory can reduce plant fitness and population sizes, but the strength of these effects varies greatly in space. The position of a plant population within the plant species' biogeographic range is ... -
Variation in herbivore-mediated indirect effects of an invasive plant on a native plant
(2007-02)Theory predicts that damage by a shared herbivore to a secondary host plant species may either be higher or lower in the vicinity of a preferred host plant species. To evaluate the importance of ecological factors, such ... -
Variations for susceptibilities to ultraviolet induced cellular inactivation and gene segregation among protoplast fusion hybrids of Candida albicans
(University of Cambridge * Faculty Press, 1988)Hybrids of the naturally diploid, asexual and opportunistically pathogenic yeast, Candida albicans, can be obtained artificially by protoplast fusion. Evidence is presented that gene conversion and reciprocal recombination ... -
Variogram matrix functions for vector random fields with second-order increments
(Springer, 2012-05)The variogram matrix function is an important measure for the dependence of a vector random field with second-order increments, and is a useful tool for linear predication or cokriging. This paper proposes an efficient ... -
Various predictors of risky sexual behavior in adolescence
(Wichita State University, 2016-05)Sexuality is a pivotal stage in adolescent development. Adolescents may engage in risky sexual behaviors (RSBs): early sexual initiation, multiple and non-monogamous relationships, contraception inconsistency, and greater ... -
Vascano: the Greek evil eye
(Lambda Alpha Anthropology Honors Society at Wichita State University, 1983)The purpose of this paper is to acquaint the reader with the Greek practice which is still much believed in by Greeks today: the concept of the 'evil eye' or 'Vascano'. By the end of this paper the reader should have an ... -
Vascular flora of the Flint Hills Tallgrass Prairie Preserve
(Wichita State University, 2022-12)The Flint Hills Tallgrass Prairie Preserve (FHTPP) comprises 3 parcels of land owned and protected by The Nature Conservancy of Kansas. It sits approximately 8 km (5 miles) east of Cassoday, Kansas in Butler and Greenwood ... -
Vector random fields on the probability simplex with metric-dependent covariance matrix functions
(Springer Nature, 2022-12-01)This paper constructs a class of isotropic vector random fields on the probability simplex via infinite series expansions involving the ultraspherical polynomials, whose covariance matrix functions are functions of the ... -
Vector random fields with compactly supported covariance matrix functions
(Elsevier, 2013-03)The objective of this paper is to construct covariance matrix functions whose entries are compactly supported, and to use them as building blocks to formulate other covariance matrix functions for second-order vector ... -
Vector stochastic processes with Polya-Type correlation structure
(Wiley, 2017-08)This paper introduces a simple method to construct a stationary process on the real line with a Polya-type covariance function and with any infinitely divisible marginal distribution, by randomising the timescale of the ... -
Vegetation responses along environmental gradients on the Ordos plateau, China
(Springer Verlag, 2006-04)The Ordos plateau is a unique ecotone and is a focal region for the campaign to reduce or reverse desertification in China. This paper explores the relationship between vegetation and environmental gradients on the Ordos ... -
VEGF blockade decelerates the growth of a murine experimental osteosarcoma
