An assessment instrument needs to be valid in order for data to be accurately interpreted and applied. Currently, few rigorous content evaluations have been conducted on hearing-related questionnaires. This study describes a multiphase approach for…

For the past several decades, synchrotron radiation has been extensively used to measure the spatial distribution and chemical affinity of elements found in trace concentrations (<few µg/g) in animal and human tissues. Intense and highly focused…

Objective: To discuss the development and implementation of a service learning experience designed to improve the health status of vulnerable populations in a middle-income country through the implementation of science-based programs designed to…

One approach to support students with ASD in general education classrooms is peer-mediated instruction and intervention (PMII). PMII is an evidence-based practice in which peers serve to support both the academic achievement and social-skill…

Research suggests that evidence-based practices (EBPs) implemented in secondary school settings will support the academic achievement of students with specific learning needs (Scruggs, Mastropieri, Berkeley, & Graetz, 2010). In order to…

Current approaches to quantum gravity suggest there should be a modification of the standard quantum mechanical commutator, [x^,p^]=iℏ. Typical modifications are phenomenological and designed to result in a minimal length scale. As a motivating…

Past research has demonstrated that consumers' price fairness judgments are influenced by comparisons between the offer price they receive and the prices paid by other consumers for the same product offering. In today's digital age, reference points…

Application of Tire-Derived Aggregates (TDA) as a green, durable, and economically-efficient material, enhances the sustainability of transportation infrastructure. Throughout the course of this research study, the application of TDA in combination…

Following the design practice for cast-in-place concrete walls in which energy dissipation is a byproduct of the walls’ seismic response, force-based seismic design of precast concrete rocking walls uses a response modication coefcient, or R factor,…

Influences of different variables that affect the effective flexural rigidity of reinforced concrete (RC) members are not considered in the most seismic codes. Furthermore, in the last decades, the application of steel fibers in concrete matrix…

Biopsychology: Fundamentals and Contemporary Issues v.1.0 is an introduction to the biological basis of behavior. It is suitable for introductory or fundamentals courses on biopsychology, physiological psychology, and neuroscience taught at the…

The present study considered the dualistic nature of passion to examine whether passion toward work predicted hedonic (life satisfaction and subjective happiness) and eudaimonic (sense of purpose) well-being. Faculty members (N = 177)…

Based on the multidimensional conceptualization of purpose, the sense of purpose scale is designed to measure three distinct constructs: awareness of purpose, altruistic purpose, and awakening to purpose. Building on previous work, the present study…

Pedro de Urdemalas, the main protagonist of Cervantes's play of the same name, has been extensively studied as a Protean figure due to his malleability to adapt to the various professions and masks he adopts throughout the comedia. This essay…
