Dynamic-maturational Model Of Attachment And Adaptation
The dynamic-maturational model of attachment and adaptation (DMM) is a biopsychosocial model describing the effect attachment relationships can have on human development and functioning. It is especially focused on the effects of relationships between children and parents and between reproductive couples. It developed initially from attachment theory as developed by John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth, and incorporated many other theories into a comprehensive model of adaptation to life's many dangers. The DMM was initially created by developmental psychologist Patricia McKinsey Crittenden and her colleagues including David DiLalla, Angelika Claussen, Andrea Landini, Steve Farnfield, and Susan Spieker. A main tenet of the DMM is that exposure to danger drives neural development and adaptation to promote survival. Danger includes relationship danger. In DMM-attachment theory, when a person needs protection or comfort from danger from a person with whom they have a protective relationship ...

Direct Metal Mastering
Direct metal mastering (DMM) is an analog audio disc mastering technique jointly developed by two German companies, Telefunken-Decca ( Teldec) and Georg Neumann GmbH, toward the end of the 20th century after having seen the same technology used by RCA Princeton Labs for its SelectaVision videodiscs in the late 1970s. Records manufactured with this technology are often marked by a "DMM" logo on the outer record sleeve. Many current production high quality pressings, as well as standard production LPs from the 1990s, only indicate its use by inscribing "DMM" in the lead-out groove area of the disc. Neumann was responsible for manufacturing the actual DMM cutting equipment as part of its VMS80 series lathes. Overview The advantages of DMM (hard surface material) over acetate lacquer cutting (soft surface material) are both sonic and practical: because of the rigidity of the master disc medium, no groove wall bounce-back effects take place after the cutting has been complet ...

Digital Molecular Matter
Digital Molecular Matter (DMM) is a proprietary middleware physics engine developed by Pixelux for generating realistic destruction and deformation effects. The offline version can support high-resolution simulations for use in film special effects. The real-time version is designed for video games, and other simulation needs by attempting to simulate physical real-world systems. Unlike traditional real-time simulation engines, which tend to be based on rigid body kinematics, the use of finite element analysis (FEA) allows DMM to simulate a large set of physical properties. Developers can assign physical properties to a given object or portion of an object, which allow the object to behave as it would in the real world (ice, gummy bear, etc.). In addition, the properties of objects or parts of objects can be changed at runtime, allowing for additional interesting effects. DMM can be authored or used in Maya or 3ds Max to create simulation-based visual effects. Academy Award In 2 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Disease Models & Mechanisms
''Disease Models & Mechanisms'' (DMM) is a monthly peer-reviewed Open Access biomedical journal published by The Company of Biologists that launched in 2008. DMM is partnered with Publons, is part of the Review Commons initiative and has two-way integration with bioRxiv. Scope and content DMM publishes original research, resources and reviews that focus on the use of model systems to better understand, diagnose and treat human disease. Model systems of interest include: * Vertebrates such as mice, zebrafish, frogs, rats and other mammals * Invertebrates such as ''Drosophila melanogaster'' and ''Caenorhabditis elegans'' * Unique ''in vitro'' or '' ex vivo'' models, such as stem-cell-based models, organoids and systems based on patient material * Microorganisms such as yeast and ''Dictyostelium'' * Other biological systems with relevance to human disease research Disease areas of interest include: * Cancer * Neurodegenerative and neurological diseases * Psychiatric ...

King Fahd International Airport
King Fahd International Airport (; KFIA) , also known as Dammam International Airport or simply Dammam Airport or King Fahd Airport, is the international airport serving Dammam, Saudi Arabia. The airport is located 31 kilometres (19 miles) northwest of downtown Dammam and is named after the former King of Saudi Arabia, Fahd ibn Abdulaziz (1921–2005). The airport serves the entire Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia and is one of the four primary international airports in the kingdom. After its construction it became a US airbase used primarily during the Gulf War, the airport has been overseeing commercial operations since 28 November 1999 and has since expanded to provide connections to 43 destinations. Before King Fahd International, the primary airport serving the region was the much busier Dhahran International Airport, which has since been converted for military use and is now designated the King Abdulaziz Air Base. Since 1 July 2017, the airport has been operated and mana ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Daniel Martin Moore
Daniel Martin Moore is an American singer, musician, songwriter, and producer. Musical career After leaving the Peace Corps, Moore mailed Sub Pop Records a four-song unsolicited demo in January 2007 and was signed by the label to record his first album ''Stray Age'', which was co-produced by Joe Chiccarelli. In 2010, Moore joined with fellow Kentucky musician Ben Sollee to record an album titled ''Dear Companion'', which was produced by and also features Jim James of My Morning Jacket and Monsters of Folk. ''Dear Companion'' aims to create awareness of the problems surrounding mountaintop removal coal mining in Appalachia, with Moore and Sollee donating their artist profits from the album to Appalachian Voices in support of the organization's national campaign to end mountaintop removal mining. In 2010, Moore toured with Ben Sollee and Jim James with stops in Brooklyn and at the Newport Folk Festival where Moore also performed with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. In Januar ...

Digital Multimeter
A multimeter (also known as a multi-tester, volt-ohm-milliammeter, volt-ohmmeter or VOM, avometer or ampere-volt-ohmmeter) is a measuring instrument that can measure multiple electrical properties. A typical multimeter can measure voltage, resistance, and current, in which case can be used as a voltmeter, ohmmeter, and ammeter. Some feature the measurement of additional properties such as temperature and capacitance. Analog multimeters use a microammeter with a moving pointer to display readings. Digital multimeters (DMMs) have numeric displays and are more precise than analog multimeters as a result. Meters will typically include probes that temporarily connect the instrument to the device or circuit under test, and offer some intrinsic safety features to protect the operator if the instrument is connected to high voltages that exceed its measurement capabilities. Multimeters vary in size, features, and price. They can be portable handheld devices or highly-precise bench inst ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rock-climbing Equipment
Rock-climbing equipment varies with the specific type of climbing that is undertaken. Bouldering needs the least equipment outside of climbing shoes, climbing chalk and optional crash pads. Sport climbing adds ropes, harnesses, belay devices, and quickdraws to clip into pre-drilled bolts. Traditional climbing adds the need to carry a "rack" of temporary passive and active protection devices. Multi-pitch climbing, and the related big wall climbing, adds devices to assist in ascending and descending fixed ropes. Finally, aid climbing uses unique equipment to give mechanical assistance to the climber in their upward movement (e.g. aiders). Advances in equipment are a key part of the rock climbing history, starting with the climbing rope. Modern devices enable climbers to perform tasks previously done manually, with greater control – in all conditions – and with less effort. Examples of replacements include the harness (replaced tying the rope around the waist), th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
