A large body of research has focused on how people exchange and use information during the negotiation process. This work tends to treat information as if it all were readily available upon request. The current research investigated how delays in the pursuit of missing information can influence people’s ex-ante priorities and the final settlements they reach. Study 1 found that negotiators achi...

Attention is essential for all learning. Increasing research suggests that bilingual children have advanced (relative to monolingual children) development of attentional control. The present study includes 80 bilingual and 80 monolingual child participants from a variety of language and age groups (2.5 to 5 year-olds) to systematically investigate how early learning/exposure to more than one la...

Recently this author published a paper discussing the transformation of grounded inductors to °oating inductors using operational °oating ampli ̄er (OFA) or °oating current conveyor (FCCII). The author classi ̄ed the paper as a partially review paper as stated in the abstract and in the introduction of Ref. 1 The author states in the abstract that: It is well known that a °oating inductor circuit...

This paper presents data on the financial crisis in East Asia that started in Thailand in July 1997 and then spread to other emerging Asian economies and the rest of the world, and the warning indicators that were used to predict that crisis. The causes of the current financial and economic crisis in Asia are then examined as well as the reason that the same indicators could not predict the cur...

Regulating one’s learning involves analyzing the learning context, setting and managing meaningful learning goals, determining which learning strategies to use, assessing whether the strategies are effective in meeting the learning goals, evaluating emerging understanding of the topic, and determining whether there are aspects of the learning context which could be used to facilitate learning. ...

Large-scale surveys such as the Current Population Survey, the Panel Study of Income Dynamics and the Health and Retirement Study use complex sample designs. The resulting data violate the familiar i.i.d. assumption. We need to adjust our statistical practice accordingly. This paper explains how the population means, the population linear regression coeecients, and other population parameter va...

We present a theory to investigate electrokinetic behavior, namely, electrorotation and dielectrophoresis under alternating current (ac) applied fields for a pair of touching inhomogeneous colloidal particles and biological cells. These inhomogeneous particles are treated as graded ones with physically motivated model dielectric and conductivity profiles. The mutual polarization interaction bet...

The use of social networking sites in organizations continues to increase year over year. While much research has focused on the social tools and their benefits, there has been comparatively little research done on the impact these systems have on employees. The current research focuses on the use of social networking systems in the organization, and the perception formed by users of the profil...
