This new electronic surveying instrument measures s/ope distance and zenith angle simultaneously, then computes and displays horizontal or vertical distance in feet or metres. /fs base measures horizontal angle. f N 1e70, WITH THE INTRODUCTION of the I saooA Distance Meter. Hewlett-Packard launched into the electronic measurement of distance. Since that time HP has become a major supplier of el...

Despite being significantly correlated, there is evidence to suggest that the scales measuring Agreeableness from the Big Five Inventory (BFI) and the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R) do not capture identical constructs. More specifically, NEO PI-R Agreeableness contains content related to "honesty and humility" that is not contained by the BFI. In a sample of undergraduates (N = 29...

Creativity research has suggested that creative people are low in agreeableness. To explore this issue, we applied the HEXACO model of personality structure, which offers an expanded representation of interpersonal traits, particularly a distinction between Honesty–Humility and Agreeableness. A sample of 1304 adults completed the HEXACO-60 and several measures of creative achievement and activi...

Interest in the role of personality traits in predicting academic performance outcomes has steadily increased over the last several decades, enough to produce a number of meta-analyses that summarize this research (e.g., Poropat, 2009; Richardson, Abraham, & Bond, 2012). These previous meta-analyses combine a variety of alternative personality measures under the assumption that they all reflect...

In this paper we introduce a novel computational technique of extraction of personality traits (HEXACO) of employees from Enterprise Social Media posts. We deal with challenges such as not being able to use existing survey instruments for scoring and not being able to directly use existing psychological studies on written text due to lack of overlapping words between the existing dictionary and...

although explicit and implicit knowledge of language learners are essential to theoretical and pedagogical debates in second language acquisition (sla), little research has addressed the effects of instructional interventions on the two knowledge types (r. ellis, 2005).this study examined the relative effectiveness of explicit and implicit types of form-focused instruction (ffi) on the acquisit...

This study examines the effect of Form-Focused Instruction (FFI) on the learning of weak forms in L2 pronunciation pedagogy. FFI treatment was designed to encourage learners to notice the gap of the target pronunciation, negotiate its phonetic form, and correct the output by themselves. Results of the treatment were compared with the non-FFI treatment involving sixty elementary to low intermedi...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to determine the prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its related risk factors among the general population of Isfahan city located in the central part of Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this cross-sectional study, the prevalence of NAFLD among 483 general adult populations was determined using ultrasonography. Anthropometric and biochemical va...

Abstract Reliance on self-report to measure problematic smartphone use is a limitation of the extant literature. It unclear whether self- and other-ratings converge correlations between personality self-reported are distorted by common method bias. The current study provides first comprehensive assessment self-other agreement relationship other-rated in large sample young adults. Focal particip...

Flavoprotein fluorescence imaging (FFI) is a novel intrinsic optical signal that is steadily gaining ground as a valuable imaging tool in neuroscience research due to its closer relationship with local metabolism relative to the more commonly used hemodynamic signals. We have developed a technique for FFI imaging in the primary visual cortex (V1) of alert monkeys. Due to the nature of neurovasc...
