Investigation of occupant’s indoor environment influences can be identified through perceptive-cognitive aspects. Such an investigation leads to affective responses such as satisfied or dissatisfied, annoyed or not annoyed and hot or cold. This study investigates the perceptive-cognitive aspects of indoor environment among students who are staying in multistorey accommodations in Klang Valley a...

In order to verify whether vitamin E improves the cognitive impairment induced through aging, aged rats fed a vitamin E-supplemented diet had their learning and memory functions assessed in comparison with the aged rats fed a normal diet using a Morris water maze test. Although normal aged rats showed very poor learning ability concerning the place of a platform in the water maze apparatus, the...

VirtualMente is a web based scenario for displaying cognitive processes in university graduates. The name VirtualMente was coined combining two words virtual and mente (mind). The name stresses its virtual nature, a web scenario targeted at cognitive competences. It is based on selected parts of the Triarchic Theory of Human Intelligence [1]. It focuses on metacomponents and insight processes. ...

The Role of Educational Administrators in Creating a Moral Atmosphere and Social Support, and its Relation with Organizational Performance S. Dehghaan Marvasti To explore the role of educational administrators in creating a moral atmosphere and social support and its relation with organizational performance, a random sample of 160 teachers from two districts in Yazd was given a set of...

This study aimed to explain tourist satisfaction by using an integrated model that incorporated cognitive and affective perspectives. Questionnaires data were collected from 385 participants in Tibet and the conceptual model was verified by using Structural Equation Modeling. The results showed that, from the cognitive viewpoint, the perception of the natural environment was the key factor to i...

A new dynamical model for the propagation of strangelets through the terrestrial atmosphere is proposed. Strangelets are small lumps of strange quark matter (SQM) which consist of roughly equal numbers of up, down and strange quarks. Since the suggestion of Witten[1]in 1984 that these strangelets, and not ordinary nuclear matter, represent the true ground state of QCD, this area of research has...

[1] During the Galileo flybys of Callisto in 1999, a CO2 atmosphere and an ionosphere were detected. Using the Caltech/Jet Propulsion Laboratory one-dimensional KINETICS model, we have successfully simulated the observed electron density within a factor of 2, while satisfying the observational constraints on carbon and oxygen atoms. We conclude that photoionization of CO2 alone is insufficient ...

We assembled spectral image datacubes of Titan in H-band (1.4131.808 μm), using adaptive optics on the 10-m W.M. Keck telescope, by stepping a spectrometer slit across Titan’s disk. We constructed images of Titan at each wavelength by ‘glueing’ the spectra together, producing 1400ultra-narrowband (~0.1nm) views of the satellite. With this method one can characterise Titan’s atmosphere over the ...
