This study tested whether proactive and reactive aggression were differently predictive of later externalizing problems such as delinquency and DSM-related disruptive behaviors (i.e. oppositional defiant and conduct disorders). It also tested whether these two subtypes of aggressive behaviors interacted in predicting externalizing problems. A community sample of low SES boys participated in the...

This work describes the effort to join two different approaches about the development of the Proactive Network Management. The first approach was developed in the Laboratory of Network and Management, at Federal University of Santa Catarina [2][3][4], which uses remote monitoring and simulation tools. And the second one, was developed in the National Supercomputing Center [9][10], which handles...

Abstract: People are very good at learning from instructions. Whenever a person receives a novel instruction, she can proactively build a plan in her head and then execute it with a very high accuracy. This proactive planning strategy gets faster over time. Here we test whether training people on proactive strategies will improve their abilities on other tasks that benefit from proactive approa...

We introduce a generic service model aiming at ensuring Quality of Service management. This modelling approach has been proposed by the Next Generation Network and Service Management project. A fairly high integration level of the tools has been reached using object-oriented paradigm and Model Driven Interoperability approach. We provide an example of Quality of Service management through a Ser...

Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) represent very interesting tools to reach eco-friendly and sustainable transformations in organic chemistry. In particular, the Biginelli reaction furnishes a easy approach synthesis of library biological active compounds an academic course. Here we describe realization several experiments involving potential inhibitors ?-secretase by reaction. All obtained were ...

In this paper, we present a study of information sharing policies used by well-known load balancing systems. Our approach comes from analyzing the performance scalability of: response time (time of reaction against instabilities) and bandwidth, from a communication-intensive application context. We divided the policies into: Centralized or Distributed oriented; and Eager or Lazy load informatio...

China’s rise has been largely an economic phenomenon in the past twenty years. However, in the two years following the new leadership of President Xi Jinping, we have seen a series of major strategy adjustments in China’s foreign policy as China takes a more proactive role in international relations. This is particularly clear in the recent major initiatives and institution-building actions tha...

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are deployed to monitor physical events such as fire, or the state of physical objects such as bridges in order to support appropriate reaction to avoid potential damages. However, many situations require immediate attention or long-reaction plan. Therefore, the classical approach of just detecting the physical events may not suffice in many cases. We present a g...

This document posits an approach for leaders to gain advantage through knowledge facilitation within virtual work environments and presents a leadership model, the Knowledge Founded Virtual Self-Management Model (KFVSM). The model addresses the leadership of virtual teams as selfmanagement founded and to operate within a soft systems structure. A proactive leadership structure incorporating env...
