Practice is one of the most important predictors skill. To become an expert, performers must engage in practice for a prolonged time to develop psychological characteristics necessary outstanding performance. Deliberate (DP), that focused repetitive activities with corrective feedback, particularly beneficial skill development. The amount accumulated DP differentiates experts and novices. Howev...

The strength of adhesive joints has been found to result from combinations of micromechanical, chemical and diffusion components depending on the system 1. The development of adhesives that bond dental restorative materials to human dentine has been a major advance in the science of dental materials. The purpose of this investigation was to study the contribution of parallel surface cuts on the...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of hydrofluoric acid etching treatment on the surface characteristics of zirconia and Streptococcus sanguinis (S. sanguinis) and Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) biofilm formation on zirconia. Zirconia specimens were prepared with different treatments, including being polished with 1000-grit SiC abrasive paper as the control grou...

Introduction This study examines the relationship between teacher growth mindset, mindfulness, grit, and well-being, with a particular emphasis on mediating role of grit. Methods The involved 547 Chinese EFL teachers as participants. Data collection utilized validated measures occupational well-being. Structural equation modeling was employed to analyze data investigate proposed relationships. ...

Most of the currently existing vision and language pre-training (VLP) methods have mainly focused on how to extract align text features. In contrast mainstream VLP methods, we highlight that two routinely applied steps during crucial impact performance pre-trained model: in-batch hard negative sampling for image-text matching (ITM) assigning large masking probability masked modeling (MLM). Afte...

PURPOSE Hydrofluoric acid treatment of moderately rough commercially pure titanium produced by titanium oxide (TiO2) grit blasting (OsseoSpeed) results in a surface with nanofeatures. The aim of this project was to better understand the effect of surface nanotopography on adherent osteoblastic differentiation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Human mesenchymal stem cells were grown on TiO2 grit-blasted ...

Remaining committed to goals is necessary (albeit not sufficient) to attaining them, but very little is known about domain-general individual differences that contribute to sustained goal commitment. The current investigation examines the association between grit, defined as passion and perseverance for long-term goals, other individual difference variables, and retention in four different cont...

No agreed guidelines exist in wood surface metrology about how to objectively measure and evaluate the surface quality and existing general standard methods and corresponding software are not usually applicable to wood. This paper presents a review of a method developed for sanded wood surfaces, which covers the choice of instrument type, the measuring resolution, the minimum evaluation length,...

: A construct termed grit, a non-cognitive personality trait, defined as the perseverance and passion for achieving long-term goals, was introduced by Duckworth et al. Grit entails working tirelessly to reach goals while maintaining determination interest despite obstacles that hinder progress. Although grit-scale surveys are included part of application process in other healthcare professional...
