Purpose – The present experiment aimed to test the impact of a self-regulatory strategy of goal pursuit – called mental contrasting with implementation intentions (MCII) – on an integrative bargaining task. Design/methodology/approach – Participants were randomly assigned to dyads and negotiated over the sale of a car. Before negotiating, participants were prompted to engage in MCII, or one or ...

This study intended to develop a model describing speaking strategies for EFL learners by taking into account the effects of learners’ gender and proficiency on the application of strategies. Accordingly, this study was planned to have two main analyses, namely qualitative and quantitative. In this respect, 30 EFL learners' viewpoints were sought, and then, based on the elicited responses, a 21...

t regulatory cells play a crucial role in immunological unresponsiveness to self- antigens and in suppressing excessive immune responses deleterious to the host. t regulatory cells are produced in the thymus as a functionally mature subpopulation of t cells. they can be induced from naive t cells in the periphery and express their marker as a forkhead/winged helix transcription factor called fo...

Self-regulation by the health professions, while improving, is no longer enough; external drivers for safer health care include governments, funders and consumers. Enforced self-regulation is often more promising than a "command and control" strategy. Research evidence on the responsive regulatory pyramid and its options offers lessons for health care policy makers and managers. Start at the ba...

A computational model is presented that simulates stable growth of cellular structures that are in some cases capable of regeneration. In the model, cellular growth is governed by a gene regulatory network. By evolving the parameters and structure of the genetic network using a modified evolution strategy, a dynamically stable state can be achieved in the developmental process, where cell proli...
