Attachment, Caregiving and Altruism: Boosting Attachment Security Increases Compassion and Helping
- Journal of Personality and Social Psychology
, 2005
"... Recent studies based on J. Bowlby’s (1969/1982) attachment theory reveal that both dispositional and experimentally enhanced attachment security facilitate cognitive openness and empathy, strengthen self-transcendent values, and foster tolerance of out-group members. Moreover, dispositional attachme ..."

attachment security is associated with volunteering to help others in everyday life and to unselfish motives for volunteering. The present article reports 5 experiments, replicated in 2 countries (Israel and the United States), testing the hypothesis that increases in security (accomplished through both
Protein homology detection by HMM-HMM comparison
- BIOINFORMATICS
, 2005
"... Motivation: Protein homology detection and sequence alignment are at the basis of protein structure prediction, function prediction, and evolution. Results: We have generalized the alignment of protein se-quences with a profile hidden Markov model (HMM) to the case of pairwise alignment of profile H ..."

HMMs. We present a method for detecting distant homologous relationships between proteins based on this approach. The method (HHsearch) is benchmarked together with BLAST, PSI-BLAST, HMMER, and the profile-profile comparison tools PROF_SIM and COMPASS, in an all-against-all compari-son of a database
Development and validation of a scale to measure self-compassion
- Self and Identity
"... This article defines the construct of self-compassion and describes the development of the Self-Compassion Scale. Self-compassion entails being kind and understanding toward oneself in instances of pain or failure rather than being harshly self-critical; perceiving one’s experiences as part of the l ..."

COMPASS: a tool for comparison of multiple protein alignments with assessment of statistical significance
- J. Mol. Biol
, 2003
"... We present a novel method for the comparison of multiple protein align-ments with assessment of statistical significance (COMPASS). The method derives numerical profiles from alignments, constructs optimal local profile–profile alignments and analytically estimates E-values for the detected similari ..."

Regulation of the neural circuitry of emotion by compassion meditation: effects of meditative expertise
- PLoS ONE 3:e1897. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0001897
, 2008
"... Recent brain imaging studies using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have implicated insula and anterior cingulate cortices in the empathic response to another’s pain. However, virtually nothing is known about the impact of the voluntary generation of compassion on this network. To invest ..."

The Discourse of Global Compassion and the Media
"... The sentiment of compassion is increasingly ex-ploited in politics and in the media. We may talk about a compassionate trend or, more broadly, a de-veloping discourse of compassion. The purpose of this article is to discuss that development with a special focus on global com-passion and the role of ..."

COMPASS: Community driven Parallelization
"... Parallel hardware1 has become a ubiquitous component in computer processing technology. Uniprocessors are slowly being phased out, with architectures evolving to allow greater performance gains [1] [2] [3] [4]. Exploiting the full potential of these architectures is a problem that has foxed programm ..."
Abstract

no algorithm can successfully emulate the analytical skills of an experienced programmer. Inspired by this philosophy, this paper proposes ‘COMPASS ’ a novel ‘community driven approach’ whereby programmers are provided with a framework/platform for sharing programming expertise to improve performance
Grief and compassion in the workplace
"... Loss of a loved one often leaves individuals unable to function well in the workplace. This study examines workplace response to employee grief following the dissolution of a romantic relationship. Findings indicate that the loss of such a relationship contributes to a lack of focus, interest and en ..."

The goal of this his study is to increase understanding of this type of grief, its

-momentum hadrons in the final state are presented. The data have been collected in the years 2002-2004 by the COMPASS experiment at CERN using a 160 GeV/c polarized muon beam scattered off a polarized 6LiD target. The longitudinal asymmetry results in the low x (000004 x 003 and low Q2 (0002 (GeV/c)2 Q2 1 (Ge
