“…This proposed requisite minimal variance level was obtained for BVP but not for HR. However, BVP increases are also directly associated with the relaxation response (Rawson, Bhatnagar, & Schneider, 1985) and with relaxation trials during autogenic feedback training (Cowings et al, 2001;Cowings & Toscano, 2000).…”

These studies examined memory encoding to determine whether the mere exposure effect could be categorized as a form of conceptual or perceptual implicit priming and, if it was not conceptual or perceptual, whether cardiovascular psychophysiology could reveal its nature. Experiment 1 examined the effects of study phase level of processing on recognition, the mere exposure effect, and word identification implicit priming. Deep relative to shallow processing improved recognition but did not influence the mere exposure effect for nonwords or word identification implicit priming for words. Experiments 2 and 3 examined the effect of study-test changes in font and orientation, respectively, on the mere exposure effect and word identification implicit priming. Different study-test font and orientation reduced word identification implicit priming but had no influence on the mere exposure effect. Experiments 4 and 5 developed and used, respectively, a cardiovascular psychophysiological implicit priming paradigm to examine whether stimulus-specific cardiovascular reactivity at study predicted the mere exposure effect at test. Blood volume pulse change at study was significantly greater for nonwords that were later preferred than for nonwords that were not preferred at test. There was no difference in blood volume pulse change for words at study that were later either identified or not identified at test. Fluency effects, at encoding or retrieval, are an unlikely explanation for these behavioral and cardiovascular findings. The relation of blood volume pulse to affect suggests that an affective process that is not conceptual or perceptual contributes to the mere exposure effect.

“…peak expiratory flow rate (among asthmatics) (Davis, Saunders, Creer, & Chai, 1973), and heart rate (Rawson, Bhatnagar, & Schneider, 1985). Taped PR tends to be less powerful than live (see reviews in Lehrer, 1982;Lehrer & Woolfolk, 1984;Lehrer, Woolfolk, & Goldman, 1986), but does produce significant physiological effects during training sessions.…”

This article evaluates the hypothesis that various stress management techniques have specific effects. Studies comparing various techniques are reviewed, as well as previous literature reviews evaluating the effects of individual techniques. There is evidence that cognitively oriented methods have specific cognitive effects, that specific autonomic effects result from autonomically oriented methods, and that specific muscular effects are produced by muscularly oriented methods. Muscle relaxation and/or EMG biofeedback have greater muscular effects and smaller autonomic effects than finger temperature biofeedback and/or autogenic training. EMG biofeedback produces greater effects on particular muscular groups than progressive relaxation, and thermal biofeedback has greater finger temperature effects than autogenic training. Disorders with a predominant muscular component (e.g., tension headaches) are treated more effectively by muscularly oriented methods, while disorders in which autonomic dysfunction predominates (e.g., hypertension, migraine headaches) are more effectively treated by techniques with a strong autonomic component. Anxiety and phobias tend to be most effectively treated by methods with both strong cognitive and behavioral components.

“…Based on the updated void fraction field, the fluid properties (equations (16) and (17)) and the normal force (equation 18) are calculated and the interface is reconstructed. Although equations are written for convection of phase fraction, there can be always the possibility of getting false diffusion [25].…”

“…In [10][11][12][13] morphology of a liquid droplet clinging to a step edge, blob and channel which correspond to localized and delocalized morphological wetting states at the microscales has been studied. For the nanoscales phenomena the terms considered in the Young-Laplace relation are not sufficient to describe the behaviour of the system [17]. In [14,15] the effects of different parameters on the final shape of nanodroplets over twodimensional steps without considering the lateral dimension effects have been investigated numerically.…”

We report different morphologies of nanodroplets over various topographical features of the supporting substrates. The effects of different parameters such as the profile of the disjoining pressure, droplet size and the geometrical parameters are studied and discussed. Also, the effects of a coating layer on the surface of the substrate are determined. It is demonstrated that the nanodroplets at some positions are not stable and gradually move to more stable positions so that the system has less energy. For grooves this results in a series of morphology diagrams of the nanodroplets over the grooves as a function of the grooves' width and the liquid volume.
