Metacognitive awareness has been shown to be a critical skill for academic success. However, students often struggle to regulate this ability during learning tasks. The current study investigates how features designed to promote metacognitive awareness can be built into the game-based intelligent tutoring system (ITS) iSTART-2. College students (n=28) interacted with iSTART-2 for one hour, comp...

Ohwi (Leguminosae), has been clinically used as an antipyretic and spasmolytic agent in traditional Chinese medicine. Many Chinese herbal formulas contain Pueraria root as their major ingredient; most well-known being “Kakkon-To” (in Japanese), which is indicated for fever and chills with stiffness or rigidity of the neck and upper back. The constituents of Pueraria root have been studied exten...

We present an in-depth weak lensing analysis of the cluster MS1008.1−1224 based on deep multicolor imaging obtained during the Science Verification of FORS1 at the VLT. The image quality (half arcsec seeing) and depth of the VLT images allow the shear signal to be mapped with high signalto-noise and to be traced out to 1.2h−1 50 Mpc, near the edge of the 6. ′8 × 6. ′8 field of view. Using BVRI ...

Significant damage of transportation infrastructure systems usually occurs during a major earthquake event. The impacts of bridge damage include not only short-term costs of structural repair, but also long-term economic consequences. In addition to initial replacement or repair costs of damage to the transportation structures, large earthquakes increase delays because of network components sev...

[1] At the heart of the conundrum of seismogenesis in the New Madrid Seismic Zone is the apparently substantial discrepancy between low strain rate and high recent seismic moment release. In this study we revisit the magnitudes of the four principal 1811–1812 earthquakes using intensity values determined from individual assessments from four experts. Using these values and the grid search metho...

High-intensity intermittent exercise induces physiological adaptations similar to energy-matched continuous exercise, but the comparative appetite and energy balance responses are unknown. Twelve healthy males (mean ± SD: age, 22 ± 3 years; body mass index, 23.7 ± 3.0 kg·m(-2); maximum oxygen uptake, 52.4 ± 7.1 mL·kg(-1)·min(-1)) completed three 8 h trials (control, steady-state exercise (SSE),...

In this paper, we study the existence of coupled coincidence andcoupled common fixed points for single-valued and fuzzy mappingsunder a contractive condition in metric space.
