Repeated assessments obtained over years can be used to measure individuals' developmental change, whereas repeated assessments obtained over a few weeks can be used to measure individuals' dynamic characteristics. Using data from a burst of measurement embedded in the Berlin Aging Study (BASE; Baltes & Mayer, 1999), we illustrate and examine how long-term changes in cognitive ability are relat...

conclusions using ginger essence was effective in reducing nausea and vomiting not only in the subjects who underwent open nephrectomy but also in the subjects of laparoscopic nephrectomy. using ginger essence is suggested as a complementary remedy to prevent and treat post-operative nausea and vomiting in patients with nephrectomy. background some studies reported that ginger was effective in ...

Firms often use both objective/verifiable and subjective/non-verifiable performance measures to provide employees with effort incentives. We study a principal/multi-agent model in which a verifiable team-based performance measure and nonverifiable individual performance measures (one for each agent) are available for contracting. A problem with tying rewards to non-verifiable measures is that t...

We experimentally explore indefinitely repeated contests. Theory predicts more cooperation, in the form of lower expenditures, contests with a longer expected time horizon. Our data support this prediction, although result attenuates contest experience. also cooperation compared to finitely same length, and we find empirical for this. Finally, theory no difference across winner-take-all proport...

Background. Controlling and manipulating inter-repetition rest (IRR) could develop diverse levels of fatigue and manifest changes to lifting mechanics. Objectives. This studychr('39')s objective was to examine the effect of IRR on the kinematic of snatch lifting during multiple set exercise protocol. Methods. Fifteen male (n=15) athletes participated in this study (age = 21.0 ± 1.41 years; bo...
