This article reports a meta-analysis of personality-academic performance relationships, based on the 5-factor model, in which cumulative sample sizes ranged to over 70,000. Most analyzed studies came from the tertiary level of education, but there were similar aggregate samples from secondary and tertiary education. There was a comparatively smaller sample derived from studies at the primary le...

The ability to stabilize the gun is crucial for performance in Olympic pistol shooting and is thought to be related to the shooters muscular strength. The present study examines the relation between performance and finger flexor force as well as shoulder abduction isometric force in senior male air pistol shooting. 46 Spanish national level shooters served as test subjects of the study. Two max...

Currently, in civil engineering, high performance concrete i.e. concretes whose minimum compression strength is equal or more than 65 MPa are increasingly used. Side effect of it is need for determination of their construction strength. In particular, recently built high performance structures suffer from sampling of drill cores. Therefore, noninvasive impact hammers – to be specific Schmitt im...

The potential of terahertz pulsed imaging (TPI) to predict the dissolution performance in sustained-release tablets was investigated in this study. Batches of coated tablets with similar weight gain during the coating process at the lab and pilot scales were subjected to non-destructive imaging by TPI and subsequently analysed by dissolution testing. The results from the dissolution tests revea...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Gross anatomy is one of the preclinical cornerstones of medical education, but many practitioners feel that medical students' knowledge of anatomy is inadequate. To help students understand the clinical relevance of anatomy studies, Ohio State University faculty developed a course called "Anatomy Correlations." This course introduces students to basic physical examinat...
