Obes Sci Pract. 2019 Jan 13;5(1):28-35. doi: 10.1002/osp4.315. eCollection 2019 Feb.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: If people who hold anti-fat attitudes believe these attitudes to be true, then anti-prejudice appeals are likely to be unsuccessful, if only because the targets will not see their attitudes as in need of change. The current study...

Mental Health Disease or Preventable Problem? Australian Dog Trainers' Opinions about Canine Separation Anxiety Differ with Training Style.

Animals : an open access journal from MDPI

Hunter T, van Rooy D, McArthur M, Bennett S, Tuke J, Hazel S.

Separation anxiety is common. Many dog owners do not seek help from a veterinarian but might consult a trainer. The objective of this study was to investigate Australian trainers' opinions about separation anxiety. An online survey was distributed via...

The Statistical Specificity of Emotion Dynamics in Borderline Personality Disorder.

Journal of personality disorders

Persons with borderline personality disorder (BPD) experience heightened emotional instability. Different components underlie instability, and the relation between instability and well-being could be confounded by average emotionality and within-person standard deviation across emotional states, reflecting variability. Therefore, the goal...

Benefits of hand massage on anxiety in preoperative outpatient: A quasi-experimental study with pre- and post-tests.

Explore (New York, N.Y.)

Li Z, Bauer B, Aaberg M, Pool S, Van Rooy K, Schroeder D, Finney R.
PMID: 32919894

CONTEXT: Surgical patients experience procedure-related anxiety preoperatively. With delays and long waiting periods, surgical patients can experience increased anxiety and decreased satisfaction with their hospital visit.MAIN OBJECTIVES: To evaluate whether a 15-minute non-therapeutic hand massage provided by the Caring...

The operation of an ionization chamber with depleted gas for radioactivity measurement: Calibration procedure and utilising normalized manufacturer's radionuclide factors.

Applied radiation and isotopes : including data, instrumentation and methods for use in agriculture, industry and medicine

At the National Metrology Institute of South Africa (NMISA) absolute activity measurements of γ-emitting radionuclides are maintained for longevity on a secondary standard ionization chamber. Because the ionization chamber has lower gas pressure than that normally produced by the...

Mortality Resulting from Undesirable Behaviours in Dogs Aged Three Years and under Attending Primary-Care Veterinary Practices in Australia.

Animals : an open access journal from MDPI

Yu Y, Wilson B, Masters S, van Rooy D, McGreevy PD.
PMID: 33668532
Animals (Basel). 2021 Feb 13;11(2). doi: 10.3390/ani11020493.

There is increasing evidence that undesirable behaviours (UBs) in dogs can compromise the welfare of both canine companions and their carers. Veterinarians are regularly consulted about affected animals and may be asked to euthanase the more severely affected individuals....

Introducing StatHand: A Cross-Platform Mobile Application to Support Students' Statistical Decision Making.

Frontiers in psychology

Allen PJ, Roberts LD, Baughman FD, Loxton NJ, Van Rooy D, Rock AJ, Finlay J.

Although essential to professional competence in psychology, quantitative research methods are a known area of weakness for many undergraduate psychology students. Students find selecting appropriate statistical tests and procedures for different types of research questions, hypotheses and data types...

Holding back the genes: limitations of research into canine behavioural genetics.

Canine genetics and epidemiology

van Rooy D, Arnott ER, Early JB, McGreevy P, Wade CM.

Canine Genet Epidemiol. 2014 Jun 10;1:7. doi: 10.1186/2052-6687-1-7. eCollection 2014.

Canine behaviours that are both desirable and undesirable to owners have a demonstrable genetic component. Some behaviours are breed-specific, such as the livestock guarding by maremmas and flank sucking seen in Dobermanns. While the identification of genes responsible for...

Coupled wave analysis of obliquely incident waves in thin film gratings.

Applied optics

Van Roey J, Lagasse PE.
PMID: 20309128
Appl Opt. 1981 Feb 01;20(3):423-9. doi: 10.1364/AO.20.000423.

The problem of a guided wave obliquely incident on a grating etched in a thin film guide is considered. Two-dimensional coupled wave equations for the incident and reflected beams are derived for the cases of TE-TE, TE-TM, and TM-TM...

Teaching and learning about bioscience ethics with undergraduates.

Education for health (Abingdon, England)
