The DSM diagnostic criteria for female orgasmic disorder
No full textThis is the post-print version of the article. The official published version can be found at the link below.This article reviews the DSM diagnostic criteria for Female Orgasmic Disorder (FOD). Following an overview of the concept of female orgasm, research on the prevalence and associated features of FOD is briefly reviewed. Specific aspects of the DSM-IV-TR criteria for FOD are critically reviewed and key issues that should be considered for DSM-V are discussed. The DSM-IV-TR text on FOD focused on the physiological changes that may (or may not) accompany orgasm in women; one of the major recommendations here is that greater emphasis be given to the subjective aspects of the experience of orgasm. Additional specific recommendations are made for revision of diagnostic criteria, including the use of minimum severity and duration criteria, and better acknowledgment of the crucial role of relationship factors in FOD
Assessing the George W. Bush Presidency: A Tale of Two Terms
No full textIn one of the first volumes assessing the full two terms of the George W. Bush presidency, Wroe and Herbert have gathered the work of leading American and European scholars. In fifteen succinct and incisive chapters, authorities such as Jim Pfiffner, John Maltese, Graham Wilson and Alan Gitelson offer assessments of the Bush administration's successes and failures. Extensive attention is paid to Bush's foreign policy, including 'The War on Terror' but the focus is broadened to absorb not only the Bush Doctrine and its repercussions, but also his trade and homeland security policies. The president's domestic leadership in economics and social policy is investigated, as are his dealings as president with the other institutions of the U.S. political system. The result is a comprehensive guide to the Bush presidency and its legacy
The modelling of wave-current velocity profiles in the offshore design process.
No full textChapter 20 examines the way in which waves and currents have been treated in the design of offshore structures. Considers nonlinear wave kinematics, treatment of current profiles up to the still water level and extension of the current profile up to the instantaneous sea surface. Discusses treatment of the superposition of the wave and current flows. Compares the Stokes expansion theories of Skjelbria & Hendrickson and Fenton, and notes results of convergence tests. Studies Fenton's solution to the case of nonlinear waves on a uniform current. For nonlinear waves on a shear current a third order version of bilinear wave/current thoery is proposed. Compares methods for extending the current profile. Explains how to interpret instrumental measurements of currents in the wave zone, and indicates where problems occur.</p

Provenance of impure calclithites in the Laramide foreland of southwestern Montana
No full textThe Sphinx Conglomerate is an uppermost Cretaceous and Paleocene(?) synorogenic clastic wedge derived from a Laramide uplift in southwestern Montana. Conglomerate petrology documents unroofing of the thick Phanerozoic section that covered the uplift. The active tectonic setting resulted in close correspondence between source lithologies and derived conglomerates and sandstones. Sandstone detrial modes determined using the Gazzi-Dickinson point-counting method further document the unroofing sequence -from Author
The sexual excitation/sexual inhibition inventory for women: psychometric properties
No full textThis is a post-print version of the article. The official published version can be found at the link below.This article reports on the development of a new questionnaire designed to assess the propensity for sexual excitation and sexual inhibition in women: The Sexual Excitation/Sexual Inhibition Inventory for Women (SESII-W). The theoretical model underlying this research, the Dual Control Model, postulates that sexual response depends on a balance between excitatory and inhibitory mechanisms and that individuals vary in their propensity for excitation and inhibition. This study describes the development and initial validation of the SESII-W in a sample of 655 women (M age, 33.9 years). Factor analysis identified eight factors and two higher-order factors: one related to sexual excitation and one to sexual inhibition. The measure demonstrated good test-retest reliability and discriminant and convergent validity. Our data underscore that a number of factors affect women's sexual arousal and these appear to be related to opposing processes of sexual excitation and sexual inhibition. Theoretical issues, possible gender differences, and the value of using qualitative data to inform questionnaire development are discussed.This study was funded, in part, by a grant from the Lilly Centre for Women‟s Health
Trends of Europeanization in social welfare politics. IHS Political Science Series 82, July 2002
No full textFritz W. Scharpf (2000 and 2002) defines the term Europeanization as the progressive shift of governmental tasks to the European level. According to this understanding he identifies four modes of Europeanization. Further, he recognizes the establishment of minimum standards and the open method of co-ordination as specific modes of Europeanization. This paper first relates the welfare political goals and problems of both named methods of Europeanization in social welfare politics, then describes the political processes which accompany them, and subsequently tests whether Scharpf’s analysis can be affirmed
