We assumed that self-control capacity, self-efficacy, and self-esteem would enable students to keep attentional control during tests. Therefore, we hypothesized that the three personality traits would be negatively related to anxiety-impaired cognition during math examinations. Secondary school students (N = 158) completed measures of self-control capacity, self-efficacy, and self-esteem at the...

in this paper, a simple and efficient method for modeling and solving the equations of a rotor with any number of disks, bearings and mass unbalances is presented using the assumed modes method. this model consists of a continuous shaft, arbitrary number of mass unbalances in any axial location and phase angle, and any number of rigid disks and bearings. this arrangement is extensively used in ...

We have investigated the kinetic temperatures assumed by Waters et al. (1987) for the circumstellar envelopes of a group of Be stars. Waters (1986) introduced a simple equatorial disk model with (r) / r ?n to describe the physical characteristics of Be star disks. Since this equatorial disk model was applied to a large number of stars, it is important to ensure that the kinetic temperatures ass...
