Tightening control systems has triggered a fierce debate on its effect on both capital markets and the real economy. My dissertation studies how mitigating earnings management by tightening cont...

self-regulatory resource management strategies comprise a featuredcharacteristic of successful language learners. the present study investigated theeffect of two of these strategies including time management and effortregulation on learning english. the participants included two classes of secondgrade middle school students (n=64) who were selected from a school in robatkarim based on convenien...

In self-paced learning, when the regulation of effort is goal driven (e.g., allocated to different items according to their relative importance), judgments of learning (JOLs) increase with study time. When it is data driven (i.e., determined by the ease of committing the item to memory), JOLs decrease with study time (Koriat, Ma'ayan, & Nussinson, 2006). Because the amount of effort invested in...

With the rapid growth in online programs come concerns about how best to support student learning in this segment of the university population. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of effort regulation, a self-regulatory skill, and intrinsic motivation on online graduate students’ levels of academic procrastination, behavior that can adversely affect both the quality and quan...

In this paper, we propose router mechanisms to regulate unresponsive best-effort traffic. By unresponsive traffic we mean flows that do not reduce their sending rate in response to congestion. The goal of the proposed mechanisms is to drop undeliverable packets as close to the periphery of the network as possible. The key ideas of our approach are: (1) edge routers keep track of incoming flows ...

This study assessed the reliability of ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) for the prescription of exercise intensity during cycling. Ten healthy men (21 to 62 years) and six women (25 to 50 years) attended the laboratory four times, 5 to 7 days apart. On the first visit each subject's maximal oxygen uptake was measured and, subsequently, they cycled at constant work rates based on their percep...
