Even Though there is a generalized concept of beauty, there are still exceptions to every rule, for…

Social Comparison. The inclusion of social comparison within the TIM stems from social comparison theory (Festinger, 1954). According to Festinger (1954), individuals have an inherent drive to evaluate their opinions and abilities. When objective standards are unavailable, individuals seek out others to make comparisons. The outcome of such comparisons is partially influenced by directionality, that is upward or downward. Upward comparisons are proposed to occur when an individual compares him-…

Hopefully you have an obituary or burial record for your ancestor that gives the name of the cemetery. Depending on how old the record is, finding the cemetery can be very easy or impossible.…

This step completes the segmentation removing static objects from the grayscale images $T_i$ using Eigen-Background decomposition. First, each image $T_i \in \mathbb{R}^{n_x\times n_y} $ is reshaped into a column vector $I_i \in \mathbb{R}^{n_p\times 1}$. These $n_t$ vectors become the $i-th$ column of a video matrix $A(n_p\, , \, n_t)$, after having removed the average image: \begin{equation} A_{(n_s \times n_t)}=\begin{pmatrix} \hat{I}_1 & \hat{I}_2 & \cdots & \hat{I}_{n_t}…

The type of scanner is a modality-dependent feature. For example, MRIs and CT scanners are differ in size and functions. In medical ultrasounds, patients are not required to enter a scanner to be tested for CAD. These intrinsic modality-dependent differences were therefore considered as important test-specific attributes. In a DCE on scanning modalities to diagnose focal liver lesions, the type of scanner used was studied and shown to influence patient preferences for diagnostic tests (Whitty et…

Body image could be defined as the way people picture themselves and how they think other people picture them. However, negative body image is a thought that is influenced by the…

When looking at the selecting or filtering of information it seems natural to discuss Broadbent’s bottleneck theory of attention (as cited in Broadbent, 1958). Broadbent proposed that incoming information is filtered out early based on physical characteristics, thus suggesting the majority of received information is not consciously processed. In the aforementioned procedure Broadbent discovered participants were able to recall information (sets of numbers) simultaneously presented to each ear…

and were, at one time, the main source of entertainment for most women. The covers of many magazines feature exceptionally thin females, and average women who look at these visual images become disheartened because they want to be just as slim and beautiful. Although men do not read magazines as much as women do, the images of physically fit men in certain male magazines, such as GQ, can have the same effect. In this manner, magazines have the ability to influence disordered eating. There is a…

Bulimia Nervosa is a mental disorder where a person consumes food, but uses laxatives or purges their food to lose weight. This form of losing weight can cause damage to the body by damaging the esophagus, stomach, and teeth. They have a distorted body image, a low self-esteem, and may possibly harm themselves in extreme cases. Bulimia and Anorexia are the most common eating disorders, but there is also another disease identified as a Binge Eating Disorder. The difference of this eating disorder…
