Implicit skill learning occurs incidentally and without conscious awareness of what is learned. However, the rate and effectiveness of learning may still be affected by decreased availability of central processing resources. Dual-task experiments have generally found impairments in implicit learning, however, these studies have also shown that certain characteristics of the secondary task (e.g....

Consumer choices are a result of an interplay of two systems: fast and intuitive thinking (System 1) and more deliberative reasoning (System 2). The present research examines the implication of the interplay between the two systems for context effects in choice by exploring the consequences of resource depletion. Building on a substantial body of psychological literature that points to one unde...

Steelmaking processes consume a lot of energy and materials, therefore researchers are constantly looking for new ways of reducing the consumption of resources in the production processes. The main purpose of the article is to present abiotic resource depletion the in steel production in the case of integrated steelmaking route in Poland and its role in life cycle assessment. There are differen...

OBJECTIVE Research on the strength model of self-regulation is burgeoning, but little empirical work has focused on the link between distinct types of daily goal pursuit and the depletion of self-regulatory resources. The authors conducted two studies on the link between avoidance goals and resource depletion. METHOD Study 1 (283 [228 female] Caucasians, ages 18-51) investigated the concurren...

environmental issues have attracted many concerns in recent years. life cycle assessment (lca) is a method that evaluates all environmental effects of a product during its life cycle. the objective of this study was to introduce lca [to persian researchers] and to use it in assessment of environmental impact of wheat production in gorgan, ne iran compared to european counties. first, data were ...

The significance of non-renewable resources in economic development is an on-going debate between optimists and pessimists, but what insights does it provide for contemporary societies who need to choose between alternative growth paths? This paper aims to explain the depletion of non-renewable resources within the concept of externalities in order to determine the range of externalities for fu...

Groundwater is one of the most important water resources in Fars province. Based on this study, 95 percent of the total annual water consumption in Fars is used for agriculture, whereas the percentages for domestic and industrial uses are 4 and 1 percent, respectively. Population growth, urban and industrial growth, and agricultural development in Fars have created a condition of water stress. ...

Agriculture and farming worldwide are responsible for numerous environmental threats, 11 including degradation of land and water resources depletion. Underlining the dynamic interaction 12 between bio-physical and socio-economic drivers is the key towards a more sustainable land and 13 water management. With regard to a highly developed agricultural area in southern Italy, 14 multi-regression m...

The scarcity of water encourages scientists to develop new analytical tools to enhance water resource management. Water accounting and distributed hydrological models are examples of such tools. Water accounting needs accurate input data for adequate descriptions of water distribution and water depletion in river basins. Ground-based observatories are decreasing, and not generally accessible. R...
