Learning to learn and learning to cooperate are two important goals for individuals. Moreover, self regulation has been identified as fundamental to prevent school failure. The goal of the present study was to assess the interactions between self-regulated learning, cooperative learning and academic self-efficacy in secondary education students experiencing cooperative learning as the main peda...

The two-stage Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is widely applied to assess the efficiency of commercial banks in recent years. Even though this approach well simulates sequence bank’s production process, independent operations within sub-stage are generally ignored, and cooperative or non-cooperative relations between sub-stages usually investigated separately. Commercial banking system, however...

“Is it possible to identify a regional cooperative model (or models) of the Asia Pacific region?” With 23 case studies across 11 countries and four sectors (agricultural cooperatives, consumer credit cooperatives worker cooperatives), 44 authors "Waking Asian Co-operative Potential" boldly try answer this question. This voluminous book with around 400 pages-a valuable fruit long collective adve...

A computational study of the cooperative effect of a small four-atom Co oxide cluster supported on the TiO2 anatase (100) surface in the electrochemical water splitting reaction is presented. The results have been obtained including explicit solvent water molecules by means of Car-Parrinello MD simulations. Reaction steps in the catalytic cycle determined involve the formation of TiO2 surface h...

Wine production in Germany has a tradition of more than 200 years in each of the 13 German quality wine-growing regions. Even today small grape growers dominate the industry. As a result, most of the viticulturists are members of cooperatives. Our observation that grape growers still turn to wine co-ops, and hence, the increase in co-op members and vineyards, might indicate that the wine co-ops...

This paper consists of two parts: planning Co-operative Transport Systems (CTS) with general rules (communication is a new idea in this system) and an investigation into route planning as a part of services provided in CTS. Part one reveals developing new systems for cooperative sensing and predicting flow, infrastructure and environmental conditions surrounding traffic, with a view to improve ...

The predicted enormous capacity gain of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems is significantly limited by co-channel interference (CCI), or by realistic outdoor propagation environments. In this paper, a common framework is proposed for the study of cooperative base stations (BS), to address those problems encountered on downlink of multicell multiuser MIMO systems. Specifically, both j...
