in this study, based on the optimal free derivative without memory methods proposed by cordero et al. [a. cordero, j.l. hueso, e. martinez, j.r. torregrosa, generating optimal derivative free iterative methods for nonlinear equations by using polynomial interpolation, mathematical and computer modeling. 57 (2013) 1950-1956], we develop two new iterative with memory methods for solving a nonline...

Creativity interventions have been shown to positively influence psychological and emotional health indicators. Nurses can play an important role in the development and implementation of interventions designed to counter the longer-term emotional and psychological consequences of trauma. The purpose of this study was to explore how participation in a nurse-facilitated weekly craft group may inf...

This study examines whether the same personal and contextual characteristics that enhance innovation could also contribute to quality and efficiency. Three hundred and forty-nine engineers and technicians in 21 units of a large R&D company participated in the study. Using CFA and HLM models, we demonstrated that people have the ability to both be creative and pay attention to detail, and that a...

Creative cognition emerges from a complex network of interacting brain regions. This study investigated the relationship between the structural organization of the human brain and aspects of creative cognition tapped by divergent thinking tasks. Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) was used to obtain fiber tracts from 83 segmented cortical regions. This information was represented as a network and ...

The conditions under which students are more likely to generate creative outcomes and the thinking processes they use have attracted increasing interest in recent years. A major focus has been on the teaching of thinking skills to achieve this. The present study examined a related issue; students belief s about whether they can be successful in producing creative outcomes. This is their self ef...

In this paper we argue that successful information systems development requires creative problem solving skills, and present two cognitive factors, selfefficacy, and creative self-efficacy, and one affective factor, playfulness, as three key personal factors that aid creative problem solving during information systems development (ISD). A research model to support our argument is constructed sy...
