Books about Low anxiety from Amazon.com

Finally, a book that fully reveals the devastating inner experience of low self-esteem and explains how LSE negatively controls the thinking, feelings, and behavior of those who suffer from it. Readers say they are astonished at how closely this book mirrors their lives, and that years of therapy did not explain what they read in this book. (A companion workbook available 08/2002).

Affect in Foreign Language and Second Language Learning offers high school and college/university second language teachers, or teachers-in-training, practical suggestions for creating activities that take into account learner anxieties, frustrations or discomfort in the language learning process. The objective of the book is to offer concrete instructional approaches for language learning that are rooted in second language acquisition research and, at the same time, that promote a low-anxiety classroom environment. The authors of each chapter are specialists in specific areas of language learning and their essays, composed specifically for this volume, lay the groundwork for continued research on affect in language learning. This text is part of the McGraw-Hill Second Language Professional Series, edited by James F. Lee and Bill VanPatten..

Description:
The aim of this pilot research was to investigate whether infants of mothers with panic disorder (PD) would be at higher risk for prematurity and low birth weight (corrected for gestational age) than controls. Medical records were reviewed for 25 mothers with PD and 33 mothers without a lifetime history of anxiety disorders or other major psychopathology as determined by diagnostic interview. Mothers also completed questionnaires concerning demographic information and life stresses. Compared to controls, infants with PD mothers were not significantly more likely to be born prematurely or earlier than controls but did show smaller birth weight corrected for gestational age, even after accounting for possible confounding influences. Additional research is needed to confirm these preliminary findings. Studying PD mothers during pregnancy could provide insight concerning mechanisms for the development of low birth weight and psychopathology. .

This is a AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OH report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A671723. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: Knowledge of the strength and horizontal extent of damaging winds from the center of a tropical cyclone is crucial for coastline preparations, forecasting coastal flooding and shipping interests. This study attempts to improve our understanding, estimation and prediction of the outer wind profiles of typhoons. The mean radii of 30 knot (R30), 50 knot (R50) and 65 knot (R65) winds are calculated using aircraft reconnaissance, satellite and synoptic data for 35 tropical cyclones during approximately 300 different time periods. By examining the change in the outer wind profile with time and central pressure, three cyclone classes were noted. One class of cyclones experiences a R30 increase which persists at least one day past its maximum intensity; these are termed 'delayed.' Another class experiences a trend in R30 that follows the trend in the central pressure; these are termed as 'simultaneous'. Similar differences were noted for R50 and R65 in simultaneous and delayed cyclones. However, the differences in the two cyclone classes diminish as one goes closer to the inner core. A less common class of cyclone had R30 values that were very large from the beginning of their formation and remained large throughout most of its life cycle. These were designated 'gyre' cyclones. Changes in outer winds as related to time of year, cyclone direction of motion, cyclone size and intensity are discussed for these cyclone classes. Composites of each cyclone class were created and the life cycle of the outer winds, central pressure, eye size, and synoptic size were investigated..

This is a NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A133504. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: The goals of this work are to simulate the Bohai Sea circulation and thermohaline structure and to Investigate the physical mechanisms using the Coupled Hydrodynamical-Ecological Model for Regional and Shelf Seas (COHERENS) with realistic bottom topography and coastal geometry. The model-simulated seasonal variability of the circulation pattern and the thermal structure agree qualitatively with the observation. The salinity field is not as well simulated as the temperature. The thermohaline structure is vertically stratified during the summer monsoon. The sub-surface velocities are found to be compensating currents from the surface circulation. Several experiments are performed to identity the prevailing forcing functions and Bohai Sea characteristics: (1) control run, with all the surface forcing functions (thermohaline fluxes, wind, tides) present, (2) no-thermohaline flux run, (3) no-wind run, and (4) no-tide run. The experiments show that the surface wind effect is the major forcing to drive the surface currents and the thermohaline structure, the thermohaline flux is the important driving force for the thermal structure, and the tidal mixing is responsible for the deep layer characteristics. It is also found that a higher turbulence kinetic energy (TKE) is produced using the Mellor-Yamada turbulence closure scheme than the 'kappa-epsilon' scheme. The deeper regions present higher TKE at the surface than in shallow waters. Maximum TKE for July are greater than the maximum TKE in January..

It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A742903. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: Placement of endosseous dental implants requires the growth and tight opposition of bone tissue to the implant surface. Histomorphological evaluation of various implant systems have shown variable contact between the bone and implant surface. Previous studies have alluded to the fact that various factors probably influence the interactions occurring at the bone-implant interface. These included specific surface characteristics such as chemical composition, surface texture and microgeometry, surface treatments including sterilization methods, presence of surface contaminants, and types of cells interacting at the implant interface. However, the role these factors play in osseointegration is not well known at this time. The object of this study, therefore, was to evaluate the effect of some of these factors on cell response..

Description:
Previous research has shown that phobic subjects with low heart rate variability (HRV) are less able to inhibit an inappropriate response when confronted with threatening words compared to phobic subjects with high HRV [Johnsen, B.H., Thayer, J.F., Laberg, J.C., Wormnes, B., Raadal, M., Skaret, E., et al., 2003. Attentional and physiological characteristics of patients with dental anxiety. Journal of Anxiety Disorders, 17, 75-87]. The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in self-reported anxiety when low HRV and high HRV fearful flyers (N=15) and a matched control group (N=15) were exposed to flight-related pictures, flight-related sounds or both pictures and sounds. We hypothesized that sounds would be crucial to evoke fear. Also, low HRV fearful flyers were expected to report higher anxiety than high HRV fearful flyers assuming anxiety as their inappropriate response. Decreases on HRV measures were also predicted for a subgroup of phobic participants (N=10) when confronted with the feared stimuli. Our data supported the hypothesis that sounds are crucial in this kind of phobia. Low HRV fearful flyers reported higher anxiety than high HRV fearful flyers in two out of three aversive conditions. The predicted HRV decreases were not found in this study. Results are discussed in the context of avoidance of exposure-based treatments. .
