In this paper we introduce a new method for computing the orientation for compound shapes. If the method is applied to single component shapes the computed orientation is consistent with the shape orientation defined by the axis of the least second moment of inertia. If the new method is applied to compound shapes this is not the case, and consequently the presented method is both new and diffe...

The current study investigates the associations of Machiavellianism (Mach) with trait and ability emotional intelligence (EI), and theory of mind (ToM) in 109 primary school children. Consistent with previous research with adults, negative associations were found between Mach and social and emotional understanding. Subsequent multiple regression analyses for girls showed that being more adept a...

Earth-based radar observations of the spin state of Mercury at 35 epochs between 2002 and 2012 reveal that its spin axis is tilted by (2.04 ± 0.08) arcminutes with respect to the orbit normal. The direction of the tilt suggests that Mercury is in or near a Cassini state. Observed rotation rate variations clearly exhibit an 88-day libration pattern which is due to solar gravitational torques act...

Introduction Analysis of Doppler tracking data and radar images from the Cassini spacecraft have recently provided estimates of the low degree gravity field [1], and spin pole direction [2] of Titan. We examine implications of these measurements for the internal structure and rotational dynamics of that body. We derive separate estimates of the polar moment of inertia of Titan from the degree t...

A very limited research of fixing uncertainties in environmental issues (EI) actually encountered biggest problems for company, especially in late delivery (LD) of project completion for construction industry (CI). Uncertainty could be happens causes by many factors which known or unknown, statically to totally ignorance. Many factors of uncertainties have been modelled in previous research by ...

Emotional intelligence (EI) theory provides a framework to study the role of emotion skills in social, personal, and academic functioning. Reporting data validating the importance of EI among youth have been limited due to a dearth of measurement instruments. In two studies, the authors examined the reliability and validity of the Mayer–Salovey–Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test—Youth Version (...

Most forms of risky behavior reach their peak during adolescence. A prominent line of research is exploring the relationship between people’s emotional self-efficacy and risk taking, but little is known about this relationship in the cognitive-deliberative domain among adolescents. The main aim of the present study consists in investigating whether trait EI (Emotional Intelligence) is positivel...

Intuitively, “emotional intelligence” (EI) may seem like necessary condition for productive leader-member relations or effective leadership, as many writers have suggested. I show that this link does not hold up to empirical scrutiny when using strong methodological tests. I reanalyze secondary data and show that both trait (EQi and WLEIS) and ability (MSCEIT) models of EI are linearly dependen...

Although there is evidence that teacher emotional intelligence is important for pupil adjustment and learning and for teachers in managing the emotional demands of their work, little is known about the levels of emotional skill of teachers and beginning teachers. Using Mayer and Salovey’s emotional intelligence (EI) model and the MSCEIT test of EI, this study investigates how emotionally skille...
