Atmospheric N deposition is known to severely impact forest ecosystem functioning by influencing soil biogeochemistry and nutrient balance, and consequently tree growth and overall forest health and biodiversity. Moreover, because climate greatly influences soil processes, climate change and atmospheric N deposition must both be taken into account when analysing the evolution of forest ecosyste...

the current study aimed to examine the role of state-trait anxiety and resiliency in test anxiety. the research was conducted on a sample of 153 high students who completed questionnaire measures of state-trait anxiety (stai-t), trait resilience (cd-risc) and test anxiety (ta).  pearson correlation and regression analyze were used to data analyze. consistent with the assumption, results indicat...

Climate virtue ethics points to the subjective/personal dimensions of climate ethics, which have been largely neglected by previous research. There is a lot of research from diverse fields that pertains to the cultural and the individual dimensions that come along with climate virtue ethics, but, as of yet, these dimensions have hardly been examined together. Future research on climate virtue e...

The current and projected future physical impacts of climate change are most extreme in the northern latitudes. The indigenous peoples in the North American arctic and sub-arctic rely on the availability of natural resources in mixed subsistence economies for nutritional and cultural survival and thus experience disproportionate burdens with respect to our changing climate. Arctic climate impac...

The influence of the peer group on young people’s achievement motivation has been highlighted in the literature as an area that needs examination (e.g., Harwood & Swain, 2001). To this effect, a new measure of youngsters’ perceptions of the peer motivational climate (Peer Motivational Climate in Youth Sport Questionnaire; PeerMCYSQ) was developed and tested across three studies. In Study 1, exp...

The application of ion current signals is one of the most recent approaches in engine management systems. By applying a small constant DC voltage across the electrodes of the spark plug and measuring the current through the electrode gap, the state of gas may be measured and investigated. In this paper a computer code is developed in order to analyze the state of gas during the combustion p...
