This longitudinal field study examined the influence of goal orientation on both negative emotional reactions to performance feedback and subsequent self-set goal level. After completing an initial performance event and receiving negative performance feedback, learning and proving goal orientations had nonsignificant relations with the intensity of negative emotional reactions to feedback. In c...

The work presented here is an extension of an existing machine learning framework called DARE, a system for learning rules that can be used for extracting instances of relations with different complexity from natural language texts ([XuUsLi07] and [Xu07]). In this paper the term “relation”, in contrast to the intuitive sense of the word, refers to a set of tuples with a certain arity. These tup...

Elastic forces of the ventricular walls produce a subatmospheric (negative transmural) pressure in the empty quiescent ventricle of open chest dogs. As fluid is added to the ventricle the negative intraventricular transmural pressures become 0 and finally positive. The resulting ventricular pressure-volume curves are S-shaped, having one limb in the negative and another in the positive pressure...

A beautiful theorem of Zeckendorf states that every integer can be written uniquely as a sum of non-consecutive Fibonacci numbers {Fn}n=1. Lekkerkerker proved that the average number of summands for integers in [Fn, Fn+1) is n/(φ 2+1), with φ the golden mean. This has been generalized to the following: given nonnegative integers c1, c2, . . . , cL with c1, cL > 0 and recursive sequence {Hn}n=1 ...

purpose: the comparison of object relational dimensions and perceived fatherhood relation in divorce demanding and non-demanding individuals. methodology: for this purpose, 122 divorce demanding individuals and 117 non-demanding divorce individuals completed bell object relations inventory (bori) and fatherhood scale (fs). then the data were analyzed by two way anova, using spss-20. findings: r...
