This study examines the relationship of undergraduate research (UGR) participation on senior students’ reported engagement, perceived gains, satisfaction with their educational experience and retention, graduation status compared to peers that have not participated in UGR. Data were drawn from 1,472 students at a comprehensive, teaching-oriented public college, collected administration National...

Individual differences are a fundamental component of psychology, but these differences are often treated as “noise” or “errors” in variable-oriented statistical analyses. Currently, there is a small but emerging body of research using the person-oriented approach. In this paper a brief theoretical and methodological overview of the person-oriented approach is given. A person-oriented approach ...

Marketing theory has traditionally contrasted a market orientation to internally oriented approaches stressing productive efficiency, or selling and promoting. This study examines the comparative effect of these three different emphases on profit performance. The results indicate that analysis of customer needs has a positive association with profitability. Internally oriented approaches do not...

For the planning of large infrastructure projects, such as tunnelled inner-city carriageways, completely different scales have to be considered – ranging from the scale of several kilometres for the general routing of the carriageway down to centimetre scale for the detailed planning of track nodes. However, today’s planning software hardly supports multi-scale approaches. The paper presents a ...

Process oriented views are widely recognized as very useful for modeling, but diicult to implement ee-ciently in a simulation system, as compared to event oriented views. In particular, the complexity and run-time overheads of the implementation have prevented the widespread use of process oriented views in optimistic parallel simulations. Here, we review the conventional approaches to implemen...

OBJECTIVE This article presents an overview of the results of intervention studies in various emotion-oriented approaches in the care for people suffering from dementia. Recommendations are made with regard to clinical practice and future research. DATA SOURCES We searched for references (1990-99) in several bibliographical databases, i.e. Medline, PsycLit, Embase, Sociofile and Current Conte...

Objective: Most of the research conducted so far on effective treatments for social anxiety disorder has used traditional cognitive-behavioral therapies. However, recent pathological theories emphasize the role of emotion regulation in the formation and continuation of the symptoms of this disorder. Thus, the study has been conducted to compare the efficacy of emotion- oriented therapy and the ...

Although the traditional entity relationship approach is still the most widely applied technique for modeling database applications, object-oriented approaches and fact-oriented approaches are being increasingly used for data modeling in general. The most popular exemplars of the latter two approaches are respectively the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and Object-Role Modeling (ORM). An initia...

Object-oriented processes are often touted as solutions to software development problems. The popularity of object-oriented method has generated many favorable reviews, particularly in the popular media. Object-oriented development promises to reduce the maintenance effort. However, these promises are not based on reliable experimentation. The software engineering literature does include some e...

Entropy and compression have been used to distinguish fetuses at risk of hypoxia from their healthy counterparts through the analysis of Fetal Heart Rate (FHR). Low correlation that was observed between these two approaches suggests that they capture different complexity features. This study aims at characterizing the complexity of FHR features captured by entropy and compression, using as refe...
