Emotional Intelligence (EI) theory has stirred up interest of researchers and policy makers. As opposed to mere reliance on Intelligent Quotient (IQ) as contributing to success in education, proponents of EI theory emphasize its fundamental role in different aspects of academic achievement. Therefore, the present study aimed to explore the relationship between EI and writing ability of Iranian ...

Methods: First, we constructed a questionnaire based on the descriptors collected from various sources in order to elicit university teachers’ views on the importance of these descriptors. A revised version was produced based on the feedback from the initial questionnaire survey. In order to further investigate what level or levels these remaining descriptors would fall into, 35 university teac...

The recent development of the internet things (IoT) raises new needs in energy storage micro-devices to power implantable and wearable applications. Conventional battery components, including electrode materials current collectors, have be miniaturized integrated onto flexible substrates while keeping their electrochemical performance. Although numerous micro-fabrication processes were successf...

An approach to producing hierarchical multi-scale porous ultra-high temperature ceramics (zirconium diboride, ZrB2) using 3D printing has been developed. Porous ceramic filaments can be printed via Direct Ink Writing (DIW) (paste extrusion). Millimeter scale porosity is created by the scaffold filaments. We introduce 20-micron-scale into with addition of oil produce capillary suspension paste i...

In the absence of suitable deposition processes, the fabrication of graded-index chalcogenide waveguides or fibers remains an outstanding challenge. Here, by exploiting the strong thermo-optic effect present in chalcogenide glasses, we experimentally demonstrate non-permanent optically-induced waveguides in bulk As2Se3 rods using a 1.55 μm wavelength laser. This single-ste...

The first clinical description of pure agraphia was reported by the French neurologist Pitres in 1884. Pitres used the case study evidence to argue for modality-specific memory representations and the localization of writing. This article reviews Pitres's contribution to the study of acquired writing disorders, the components of writing models and the cerebral localization which subserve writin...
