The Construct of Resilience: A Critical Evaluation and Guidelines for Future Work.

by Suniya S Luthar , Dante Cicchetti , Bronwyn Becker - Child Development, , 2000
"... This paper presents a critical appraisal of resilience, a construct connoting the maintenance of positive adaptation by individuals despite experiences of significant adversity. As empirical research on resilience has burgeoned in recent years, criticisms have been levied at work in this area. Thes ..."

Motivation through the Design of Work: Test of a Theory. Organizational Behavior and Human Performance,

by ] Richard Hackman , Grec R Oldham , 1976
"... A model is proposed that specifies the conditions under which individuals will become internally motivated to perform effectively on their jobs. The model focuses on the interaction among three classes of variables: (a) the psychological states of employees that must be present for internally motiv ..."

motivated work behavior to develop; (b) the characteristics of jobs that can create these psychological states; and (c) the attributes of individuals that determine how positively a person will respond to a complex and challenging job. The model was tested for 658 employees who work on 62 different jobs

Learning the Kernel Matrix with Semi-Definite Programming

by Gert R. G. Lanckriet, Nello Cristianini, Laurent El Ghaoui, Peter Bartlett, Michael I. Jordan , 2002
"... Kernel-based learning algorithms work by embedding the data into a Euclidean space, and then searching for linear relations among the embedded data points. The embedding is performed implicitly, by specifying the inner products between each pair of points in the embedding space. This information ..."

A Fast Marching Level Set Method for Monotonically Advancing Fronts

by J. A. Sethian - PROC. NAT. ACAD. SCI , 1995
"... We present a fast marching level set method for monotonically advancing fronts, which leads to an extremely fast scheme for solving the Eikonal equation. Level set methods are numerical techniques for computing the position of propagating fronts. They rely on an initial value partial differential eq ..."

describe a particular case of such methods for interfaces whose speed depends only on local position. The technique works by coupling work on entropy conditions for interface motion, the theory of viscosity solutions for Hamilton-Jacobi equations and fast adaptive narrow band level set methods

The Lumigraph

by Steven J. Gortler, Radek Grzeszczuk, Richard Szeliski, Michael F. Cohen - IN PROCEEDINGS OF SIGGRAPH 96 , 1996
"... This paper discusses a new method for capturing the complete appearanceof both synthetic and real world objects and scenes, representing this information, and then using this representation to render images of the object from new camera positions. Unlike the shape capture process traditionally used ..."

of light at all positions in all directions. With the Lumigraph, new images of the object can be generated very quickly, independent of the geometric or illumination complexity of the scene or object. The paper discusses a complete working system including the capture of samples, the construction

Dictionary of protein secondary structure: pattern recognition of hydrogen-bonded and geometrical features

by Wolfgang Kabsch, Christian Sander , 1983
"... For a successful analysis of the relation between amino acid sequence and protein structure, an unambiguous and physically meaningful definition of secondary structure is essential. We have developed a set of simple and physically motivated criteria for secondary structure, programmed as a pattern-r ..."

. ” Geometric structure is defined in terms of the concepts torsion and curvature of differential geometry. Local chain “chirality ” is the torsional handedness of four consecutive Ca positions and is positive for right-handed helices and negative for ideal twisted @-sheets. Curved pieces are defined as “bends

Illusion and well-being: A social psychological perspective on mental health.

by Shelley E Taylor , Jonathon D Brown , Nancy Cantor , Edward Emery , Susan Fiske , Tony Green-Wald , Connie Hammen , Darrin Lehman , Chuck Mcclintock , Dick Nisbett , Lee Ross , Bill Swann , Joanne - Psychological Bulletin, , 1988
"... Many prominent theorists have argued that accurate perceptions of the self, the world, and the future are essential for mental health. Yet considerable research evidence suggests that overly positive selfevaluations, exaggerated perceptions of control or mastery, and unrealistic optimism are charac ..."

Finding community structure in networks using the eigenvectors of matrices

by M. E. J. Newman , 2006
"... We consider the problem of detecting communities or modules in networks, groups of vertices with a higher-than-average density of edges connecting them. Previous work indicates that a robust approach to this problem is the maximization of the benefit function known as “modularity ” over possible div ..."

Robust real-time face detection

by Paul Viola, Michael Jones - International Journal of Computer Vision , 2004
"... We have constructed a frontal face detection system which achieves detection and false positive rates which are equivalent to the best published results [7, 5, 6, 4, 1]. This face detection system is most clearly distinguished from previous approaches in its ability to detect faces extremely rapidly ..."
