The following literature review is an analysis of the relationship of vocabulary instruction, reading comprehension, and student retention. Vocabulary can affect comprehension; however the most effective method of vocabulary instruction has yet to be determined. Context, semantic mapping, and a combination of instructional approaches are examined. Many types of vocabulary instruction can have a...

When making moral judgments people often make snap decisions and then highlight information that confirms that preliminary judgment, a phenomenon referred to as “motivated moral reasoning.” The current study uses eye-tracking technology to examine whether people are also “motivated moral perceivers” – that is, whether people disproportionally attend to visual information that is consistent with...

The present study examines a causal model of adaptive performance in multicultural team settings. Dispositional traits are posited to influence adaptive performance through the mediating mechanisms of stress appraisals and self-efficacy. Beyond examining the causal paths associated with predictors, the study includes a commensurate focus on adaptability as an outcome and addresses the measureme...

The potential of the World Wide Web on the Internet as a commercial medium and market has been widely documented in a variety of media. However, a critical examination of its commercial development has received little attention. Therefore, in this paper we propose a structural framework for http://jcmc.indiana.edu/vol1/issue3/hoffman.html (1 of 26)7/22/2006 7:04:48 PM Commercial Scenarios for t...

The traditional multi-material product design of plastic products significantly complicates both existing and emerging recycling processes. Here, we discuss the concept mono-material design, which is based on circular biodegradable polymers made a single monomer, delivering tailorable properties via molecular or macromolecular engineering without changing its chemical makeup composition. Everyd...

Research has shown that moral judgments depend on the capacity to engage in mental state reasoning. In this article, we will first review behavioral and neural evidence for the role of mental states (e.g., people’s beliefs, desires, intentions) in judgments of right and wrong. Second, we will consider cases where mental states appear at first to matter less (i.e., when people assign moral blame...

Many control engineers found the inverted pendulum on a moving cart very interesting and intriguing because many control principles can be shown. Two examples are to balance a stick on the end of one’s finger and the other one is to balance a rocket during liftoff. This is a highly non-linear system but for simplicity purposes the overall system is linearized making some assumptions. Therefore,...

Covalent binding of the food-borne heterocyclic amine 2-amino3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (MeIQx) to albumin and hemoglobin (Hb), 3.5–6.0 hr after oral administration of a single dose of either 21.3 or 228.0 mg of [C]MeIQx (304 and 3257 ng/kg of body weight, respectively, based on a 70-kg subject weight), was studied in human volunteers using accelerator mass spectrometry. Human protei...
