This work-in-progress provides a preliminary exploration of students’ metacognitive monitoring abilities by analyzing written self-evaluations of statics problems. Metacognitive approaches to learning encourage students to examine their own thinking processes as a means of deepening their understanding. We used qualitative coding to analyze students’ level of metacognitive awareness regarding b...

This paper aims to investigate a new and intricate behavior of immediate follower during the lane change of leader vehicle. Accordingly, the mentioned situation is a transient state in car following behavior during which the follower vehicle considerably deviates from conventional car following models for a limited time, which is a complex state including lateral and longitudinal movement simul...

Despite major advances in the prediction of violence and risk management, risk evaluations are necessarily imperfect. This article focuses on the role of the evaluator in such assessments and addresses the consequences incurred by clinicians involved in conducting risk assessments. We discuss the risks of overpredicting and underpredicting violence with respect to how these risks can influence ...

OBJECTIVES To raise awareness and propose a good practice guide for translating and adapting any hearing-related questionnaire to be used for comparisons across populations divided by language or culture, and to encourage investigators to publish detailed steps. DESIGN From a synthesis of existing guidelines, we propose important considerations for getting started, followed by six early steps...

PURPOSE This twin study examined the structure of genetic and environmental influences on aggression and rule-breaking in order to examine change and stability across the span of childhood to mid-adolescence. METHODS Behavioral assessments were conducted at two time points: age 9-10 years and 14-15 years. Using behavioral genetics biometric modeling, the longitudinal structure of influences w...

gums are the most important stabilizers that are used in ice cream and other frozen dairy dessert industries. in this study, effect of different levels of guar gum (0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3%) and arabic gum (0, 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5%) on rheological behavior of frozen yogurt was investigated. the rheological behavior of samples showed that all samples exhibit shear thinning behavior and power law model f...

Many consumer choices lead to subsequent decisions. In such situations, any choice option may be evaluated based on its own characteristics (direct evaluations), or evaluated based on the characteristics of alternatives it makes available in subsequent decisions (derived evaluations). We contrast direct and derived evaluations in the context of two consumer research issues. First, in choices be...

The objective of the study on which the paper is based was to explore the application of fully Bayesian methods for before-after road safety studies. Several variations of the methodology were evaluated with a simulated dataset in which hypothetical treatments with no safety effect were randomly assigned to high accident locations to mimic the common site selection process in road jurisdictions...
