The cultivation and processing of grain is probably one of the most important technological achievements on humanity‘s path to modern civilization. 10,000 years ago, the first grains were already being cultivated in the Middle East, leading to the development of the first advanced civilizations. Today, various types of grains have become staples worldwide and thus essential to the basic livelih...

We develop and estimate an equilibrium model of ability tracking. In the model, a school chooses how to allocate students into tracks based on their ability and chooses track-specific inputs. Parents choose parental effort in response. We estimate the model using data from the ECLS-K. We use the estimated model to first examine the effects of disallowing tracking on school and parental inputs a...

Tutors in a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) curriculum are thought to play active roles in guiding students to develop frameworks for use in the construction of knowledge. This implies that both subject-matter expertise and the ability of tutors to facilitate the learning process must be important in helping students learn. This study examines the behavioural effects of tutors in terms of subject-...

One of the basic achievements in nonlinear potential theory is that the typical linear pointwise estimates via fundamental solutions find a precise analog in the case of nonlinear equations. We give a comprehensive account of this fact and prove new unifying families of potential estimates. We also describe new fine properties of solutions to measure data problems.

The lives and scientific achievements of two outstanding Polish biologists - Professors Rudolf Weigl (1883-1957) and Ludwik Hirszfeld (1884-1954) - are presented in the context of the social and political events before and after World War II. The main aim is to recall and emphasise the very modern studies conducted in the two decades between the wars in the Polish scientific centres of Lvov and...

The expansion of the real output of major food and agricultural productions in China ranks as one of the nation’s great achievements. Publicly funded agricultural research has been key to the impressive performance (Huang et al. 2003). Expenditures grew rapidly from the early 1960s to the middle 1980s and the number of agricultural researchers increased throughout (Fan and Pardey 1992). The ris...

The purpose of this research was to develop and test a model of effective selfregulated learning. Based on effort expenditure we discerned effective self-regulators and less effective self-regulators. The model comprised achievement goals (mastery, performance-approach and -avoidance goals), metacognition (metacognitive knowledge, regulation and experience), study strategies (metacognitive, dee...
