This article aims to present the interaction between understanding of critical thinking and teaching learning skills in higher education Lithuania. Representative quantitative research was implemented, 152 teachers 1512 students took part survey. Exploratory factor analysis revealed two factors – rigidity elasticity conception that have an impact on skills.

abstract due to limited water resources and occurrence of recent droughts, the use of new management and planning methods for optimal irrigation scheduling of agricultural crops is inevitable. present of appropriate mathematical and dynamic relationship between yield, evapotranspiration and water use efficiency parameters is the first and most important step in the optimal management of irrigat...

In this study, yield-water and profit function was used to obtain water demand function in agriculture sector. The results showed that the ratio of actual to potential Evapotranspiration had positive, significant effecton the ratio of actual to potential yield for wheat and barley. Also, square ratio of actual to potential Evapotranspiration had negative, significant relationship. After estimat...

A two dimensional finite model with inclined crack at different crack angles are being analyzed in mixed mode condition using photo elasticity method for the determination of Stress Intensity Factors. The well-known Sih’s equation and three points deterministic approach is used for the determination of stress intensity factors. The effects of biaxial load factor, crack angle, size factors were ...

To optimize the cost and performance of complex cloud services under dynamic requirements, workflows and diverse cloud offerings, we rely on different elasticity control processes. An elasticity control process, when being enforced, produces effects in different parts of the cloud service. These effects normally evolve in time and depend on workload characteristics, and on the actions within th...

Elasticity is the foundation of cloud performance and can be considered as a great advantage and a key beneNt of cloud computing. However, there is no clear, concise, and formal deNnition of elasticity measurement, and thus no ePective approach to elasticity quantiNcation has been developed so far. Existing work on elasticity lack of solid and technical way of deNning elasticity measurement and...

this paper studies the dynamic behavior of price elasticity and its effects on the overall profit. although price elasticity has a significant effect on sales, its dynamics have not been examined so far in pricing models. in this paper, a simple pricing model is suggested in which, price elasticity is considered dynamic. the suggested pricing model is concerned with a monopolist that its object...

One of the major challenges in cloud computing is to simplify the monitoring and control of elasticity. On the one hand, the user should be able to specify complex elasticity requirements in a simple way and to monitor and analyze elasticity behavior based on his/her requirements. On the other hand, supporting tools for controlling and monitoring elasticity must be able to capture and control c...
