Researchers have long recognized that the transition to school for young children is one of the most important steps in their development (Entwisle & Alexander, 1993; Mangione & Speth, 1998; Ramey & Ramey, 1994). Beyond the educational process, children also must learn to negotiate which attitudes and behavior habits are most adaptive to the school culture (Beery, 1984). School represents one o...

Using the Implicit Association Test (IAT), recent experiments have demonstrated a strong and automatic positive evaluation of White Americans and a relatively negative evaluation of African Americans. Interpretations of this finding as revealing pro-White attitudes rest critically on tests of alternative interpretations, the most obvious one being perceivers’ greater familiarity with stimuli re...

The results of measurement of beauty quark production at HERA performed by the H1 and ZEUS collaborations are presented. Total cross sections and the differential cross sections have been measured in both the photoproduction and the deep inelastic scattering regimes. The results are compared with the NLO QCD calculations.

Unfortunately, the article “A Comparative Study to Benchmark Cross-project Defect Prediction Approaches” has a problem in the statistical analysis which was pointed out almost immediately after the pre-print of the article appeared online. While the problem does not negate the contribution of the the article and all key findings remain the same, it does alter some rankings of approaches used in...

We study proton anti-proton cross sections in the framework of an updated minijet eikonal model. We propose a different scheme for fixing the parameters, in which we make use of the measured minijet cross section. We compare the results obtained with the GRV98, MRST98, CTEQ6-L and KLN gluon distributions. The latter includes gluon saturation effects. We conclude that in the very high energy reg...

This systematic review of systematic reviews evaluates the effectiveness of exergaming on physical fitness and physical activity. A systematic literature search was conducted on 10 databases, and 1040 articles were identified. Sixty-eight articles were found potentially relevant and were selected for closer screening. Cross-referencing was conducted to find other potentially relevant articles. ...

We study the production of W bosons at large transverse momentum in pp̄ collisions. We show that the next-to-leading order cross section at large transverse momentum is dominated by threshold soft-gluon corrections. We add next-to-next-to-leading-order softgluon corrections to the exact next-to-leading-order differential cross sections. We find that these higher-order corrections provide modest ...
