The spacing effect is the commonly observed phenomenon that memory for spaced repetitions is better than memory for massed repetitions. To further investigate the role of rehearsal in spacing effects, three experiments were conducted. With pure lists we found spacing effects in free recall when spacing intervals were relatively long (Experiments 1, 2 and 3), but not when spacing intervals were ...

We want to detail our new and as yet preliminary simulation results on the spectrum and the renormalised decay constant of heavy light mesons. They were obtained on coarser lattices compared to previous analyses, see [1] for a review. This allows us to study scaling violations. A second motivation is the possibility of reaching the charm region with NRQCD for D mesons, which have a different po...

Purpose: Although both the job and its broader context are likely to drive motivation, little is known about the specific workplace characteristics that are important for motivation. We present the Workplace Characteristics Model, which describes the workplace characteristics that can foster motivation, and the corresponding multilevel Workplace Design Questionnaire. Design/methodology/approach...

abstract in order to study the effects of irrigation regimes and plant spacing on bulb yield of two onion (allium cepa l.) genotypes, an experiment was conducted at kabootar abad research station of isfahan during two growing seasons (2005 and 2006). the experiment design was split-factorial with a randomized complete block arrangement with four replications. main plots included three irrigatio...

abstract background: workplace bullying is a significant issue confronting the nursing profession both in iran and internationally. this study examined workplace bullying among a group of iranian nurses. materials and methods: the prevalence rate of bullying behavior among nurses was determined. data were collected from 162 nurses who worked in four hospitals located in west azerbaijan province...

according to the contradictory reports of researchers, tillers may have positive or negative effect on wheat yield. thus, this study was conducted to investigate the role of tillers on wheat yield under two row spacing of 12.5 and 25 cm and four plant densities of 125, 250, 375 and 500 plants per m2, at gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural resources farm in anbare-ololum reign...

The effects of initial spacing layout on some allometric characteristics of 12-year-old Quercus castaneifolia trees grown in Central Mazandaran, north of Iran were examined. Trees were planted in 5 different layouts (1?1, 1.5?1.5, 2?2.5, 2?3 and 4?4 m). Tree height, diameter at breast height, natural pruning height and the survival of trees were recorded in each sample plot. Tree basal area and...
