The present study focused on students’ academic enjoyment as predicted by achievement in multiple academic domains. Assumptions were based on Marsh’s internal/external (I/E) frame of reference model and Pekrun’s control-value theory of achievement emotions, and were tested in a sample of 1380 German students from grades 5 to 10. Students’ academic enjoyment, self-concept, and achievement were a...

The aim of this study was to estimate the genetic divergence between African cowpea lines from the Cowpea Germplasm Bank of Embrapa Meio-Norte, Brazil. The morphoagronomic diversity of 57 cowpea lines was assessed using multivariate analysis. The germplasm was evaluated in August 2009 using a randomized block design with three replications based on the following traits: number of pods per pedun...

This paper examines the use of a computational geometry-based spatial color indexing methodology for efficient and effective image retrieval. In this scheme, an image is evenly divided into a number of M*N nonoverlapping blocks, and each individual block is abstracted as a unique feature point labeled with its spatial location, dominant hue, and dominant saturation. For each set of feature poin...

Z. Naturforsch. 54 b, 1505-1509 (1999); eingegangen am 13. September 1999 Crystal Structure, Chalcogenides, Thiostannates, Rubidium, Tin, Sulfur Colorless crystals of the new thiostannate Rb6Sn2S7 were obtained by reacting a stoichio­ metric melt of Rb2S, Sn and S at 700°C. The compound is orthorhombic, oP60, s.g. f ’2,2,2, (No. 19) with a = 9.982(4), b = 13.45(1), c = 15.20(1) A; Z = 4. The cr...

Observers viewed two side-by-side arrays each of which contained three yellow Munsell papers, three blue, and one neutral Munsell. Each array was illuminated uniformly and independently of the other. The neutral light source intensities were 1380, 125, or 20 lux. All six possible combinations of light intensities were set as illumination conditions. On each trial, observers were asked to rate t...
