This study provides validity evidence for the MUSIC Model of Academic Motivation Inventory (MUSIC Inventory; Jones, 2012), which measures college students’ beliefs related to the five components of the MUSIC Model of Motivation (MUSIC model; Jones, 2009). The MUSIC model is a conceptual framework for five categories of teaching strategies (i.e., eMpowerment, Usefulness, Success, Interest, and C...

The strong interactions at low energy scales determine the state of supranuclear matter in pulsar-like compact objects. It is proposed that bulk could be composed strangeons, which are quark clusters with a nearly equal number three light-flavor quarks. In this work, to characterize strong-repulsive short distances and non-relativistic nature Lennard-Jones model used describe equation (EoS) str...

Earnings management is an important part of current accounting studies. Many of those studies concentrate on accruals. This study critically evaluates frequently used accrual models. The Jones model was the first econometric approach to estimating discretionary accruals. Even though it is subject to several limitations, such as model misspecification, omitted-variables, and errors-in-variables ...

We introduce and discuss Jones pairs. These provide a generalization and a new approach to the four-weight spin models of Bannai and Bannai. We show that each four-weight spin model determines a “dual” pair of association schemes. 1. Jones Pairs The space of k × k matrices acts on itself in three distinct ways: if C ∈ Mk(F), we can define endomorphisms XC , ∆C and YC by XC(M) = CM, ∆C(M) = C ◦M...
