This study was an attempt to investigate the relationship between teachers' personality type (feeling vs. thinking) and speaking skill of pre- intermediate EFL students in Iranian context. Twelve teachers and forty eight students from a local language institute participated in the study. The Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), an instrument based on Jung’s personality theory, was taken from tea...

Detecting intracellular calcium signaling with fluorescent calcium indicator dyes is often coupled with microscopy techniques to follow the activation state of non-excitable cells, including lymphocytes. However, the analysis of global intracellular calcium responses both at the single-cell level and in large ensembles simultaneously has yet to be automated. Here, we present a new software pack...

The lattice conditional independence (LCI) model N(C)<) is defined to be the set of all normal distributions N(O, E) on IR I such that for every pair L, M E 1<, XL and xM are conditionally independent given xLnM (ct , [AP] (1993a)). Here C)< is a ring of subsets (hence a distributive lattice) of the finite index set I such that 0, IE ".K, while for K E 1<, XK is the coordinate projection of x E...

Rapid population growth, and human activities (such as agriculture, industry, transports,...) development have increased vulnerability risk for water resources. Due to the complexity of natural processes and the numerous interactions between hydro-systems and human pressures, water quality is difficult to be quantified. In this context, we present a knowledge discovery process applied to hydrol...

To explore how pilots’ distribution of visual attention affects flight performance, twenty male pilots (novices and experts with 407 ± 11.3 h 4127 77 experience, respectively) were enlisted to complete the instrument holding pattern approach procedure on DA-42 simulator. The was based eye movement data recorded during investigate scan panel, which divided into six areas interest (AOIs). evaluat...

OBJECTIVE The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Public Health Performance Standards Program (NPHPSP) has developed instruments to measure the performance of local and state public health departments on the 10 "Essential Services of Public Health," which have been tested in several states. This article is a report of the evaluation of the content and criterion validity of the...

Objectives: Successful aging is an interdisciplinary concept. Despite the great body of literature on successful aging, few studies have focused on its subjective and multidimensional measurements. Thus, the present study aimed to develop an instrument to measure self-perceived successful aging. Methods: We used a mixed method approach. The successful aging dimensions were explored through an ...
