Handwritten autobiographies from 180 Catholic nuns, composed when participants were a mean age of 22 years, were scored for emotional content and related to survival during ages 75 to 95. A strong inverse association was found between positive emotional content in these writings and risk of mortality in late life (p < .001). As the quartile ranking of positive emotion in early life increased, t...

An epistemologically and cognitively founded pedagogical learning/teaching model tackling these goals is developed. Possible solutions will be suggested by developing a meta-model for learning/teaching processes in a stepwise manner. It turns out that philosophy of science concepts play a crucial role in these processes. Furthermore, the role of micro-learning and technologically supported (mob...

This paper aims at constructing stepwise test procedures based on the Bonferroni{ Holm principle for a multi{way ANOVA. Especially for the two{way ANOVA it is shown, that the procedures keep the multiple level. These theoretical results are supplemented by a simulation study to compare the multiple procedures regarding two power concepts and to learn about which of the introduced procedures is ...

The study has modified UTAUT (Venkatesh et. al., 2003) to determine technology acceptance of web-based learning system of Taiwan technical university students. This study used cluster sampling and stepwise regression analysis to determine the relationships among constructs. Research results showed that performance expectancy, attitude toward using technology, facilitating conditions, self-effic...

Periana argues that the stepwise reaction of methane with water is thermodynamically unfavorable and therefore impractical. We reply by presenting an in-depth thermodynamic analysis of each step in the process and show that the surface concentrations of the reactants and products as well as the stabilizing effect of additional water molecules, as discussed in the original paper, fully support t...
