H. Gardner introduced the idea of multiple intelligence. One type of these intelligences is the spatial intelligenc. P. H. Maier in his thesis distinguished five elements of the spatial intelligence: spatial perception, visualization, mental rotation, spatial relation, and spatial orientation. Maier showed a modular construction system of polyhedrons, and different activities to improve the stu...

This study examined couple and family therapy (CFT) students' beliefs about sexual orientation, their self-reported competency working with lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) clients, and the level of affirmative training students received in their CFT programs. One hundred and ninety students from accredited CFT programs completed the study. While participants reported feeling only somewhat comp...

Children and adolescents with highly disabling chronic pain of high intensity and frequency are admitted to specialized pain rehabilitation programs. Some barriers to obtaining this specialized care include a lack of availability of treatment centers, a perceived social stigma and individual barriers such as socioeconomic status. Specialized rehabilitation programs for severe disabling chronic ...

This paper presents a framework to define a semantics for a real-time object-orientation programming language and to verify programs written in the language. The semantics is defined as the collection of translation rules that map the syntactic constructions of the language into expressions in a process calculus extended with the notion of time. By using the expressive capabilities of the calcu...

Mentoring is an important component of training in the basic and clinical sciences due to the increasing complexities associated with establishing a career. Data relating to 466 long-term trainees in research ethics training programs were obtained from the Fogarty International Center's database. Data were supplemented with survey data (n = 17) and telephone interviews (n = 10) of the 21 princi...

One of the emerging research areas in the strategic orientation is how to transfer different orientations from the commercial sector to the non-profit sector. Therefore, the objective of this study is to determine the mediating effect of Learning Orientation on the Market Orientation, Social Entrepreneurial Orientation, and Organizational Performance in the non-profit sector. The data from more...

The maturation of cortical Parvalbumin-positive (PV) interneurons depends on the interaction of innate and experience-dependent factors. Dark rearing experiments suggest that visual experience determines when broad orientation selectivity emerges in visual cortical PV interneurons. Here, using neural transplantation and in vivo calcium imaging of mouse visual cortex we investigate whether innat...

for a graph g, let d(g) be the set of all strong orientations of g. the orientationnumber of g is min {d(d) |d belongs to d(g)}, where d(d) denotes the diameterof the digraph d. in this paper, we determine the orientation number for some subgraphs of complete bipartite graphs.
