Recent research has revealed that learning behavior is associated with academic achievement at the college level, but the impact of specific learning strategies on academic success as well as gender differences therein are still not clear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate gender differences in the incremental contribution of learning strategies over general cognitive ability ...

Nowadays, university students suffer from a broad range of problems, such as educational underachievement or the inability to control themselves, that lead to procrastination as a consequence. The present research aimed at analyzing the determinants of decisional procrastination among undergraduate students and at assessing a path model in which self regulated learning strategies mediated the r...

In this paper, a new composite rough set model is proposed to process incomplete composite information with criteria and regular attributes. Following that, some strategies for incrementally updating approximations of composite rough sets when adding or removing some objects are discussed and the corresponding incremental algorithms are designed. Several numerical examples illustrate the feasib...

Incremental deployment of a new network service or protocol is typically a hard problem, especially when it has to be deployed in the routers. First, an incrementally deployable protocol is needed. Second, a study of the performance impact of incremental deployment should be carried out to evaluate deployment strategies. Choosing the wrong strategy can be disastrous, as it may inhibit reaping t...

The purpose of this paper is to call attention for the role of established technologies as an important source of continuous innovation. In order to get new insights of the subject we have studied some innovation strategies for the fluid power systems. Although radical innovation may gain more attention and investments, in the long term, incremental innovation will be the one to sustain the org...

This study examined the incremental validity of the adult short form of the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue-SF) in predicting 7 construct-relevant criteria beyond the variance explained by the Five-factor model and coping strategies. Additionally, the relative contributions of the questionnaire's 4 subscales were assessed. Two samples of Canadian university students completed...
