Research into state-trait curiosity and anxiety has resulted in a simplification of the constructs involved, particularly in the curiosity domain. This field of research previously has been dominated by a wide variety of interpretations such as specific vs. diversive curiosity, perceptual vs epistemic curiosity, and breadth vs. depth curiosity. It has been shown however, that these particular i...

In this paper, we will obtain first integral, integrating factor and λ-symmetry of third-order ODEs u ⃛=F(x,u,u ̇,u ̈). Also we compare Prelle -Singer (PS) method and λ-symmetry method for third-order differential equations.In this paper, we will obtain first integral, integrating factor and λ-symmetry of third-order ODEs u ⃛=F(x,u,u ̇,u ̈).

The aim of this paper is to present a revision of international versions of the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale and to describe the psychometric properties of a Portuguese version of the UWES-9 developed simultaneously for Brazil and Portugal, the validity evidence related with the internal structure, namely, Dimensionality, measurement invariance between Brazil and Portugal, and Reliability of t...

We examine self-avoiding walks in dimensions 4 to 8 using high-precision Monte Carlo simulations up to length N = 16 384, providing the first such results in dimensions d > 4 on which we concentrate our analysis. We analyse the scaling behaviour of the partition function and the statistics of nearest-neighbour contacts, as well as the average geometric size of the walks, and compare our results...
