The preschool period is an important developmental period for the emergence of cognitive self-regulatory skills or executive functions (EF). To date, evidence regarding the structure of EF in preschool children has supported both unitary and multicomponent models. The aim of the present study was to test the factor structure of early EF as measured by the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive ...

abstract infiltration is one of the most important phenomena which is affected by the soil physical and hydraulic characteristics. measurement of infiltration needs the high cost and is time consuming, therefore estimation of infiltration is necessary. also, due to variability of soil moisture, it is important to determine the appropriate model for the estimating the infiltration rate. the pres...

The reliability and validity of standard and qualitative scores for the Ruff Figural Fluency Test (RFFT; Ruff, 1988) was examined in 102 healthy undergraduates. Participants (M age = 21.79; SD = 3.7; age = 80% Caucasian) were administered the RFFT and measures assessing executive functions (EF) and other cognitive domains. Inter-scorer reliability was excellent (0.9 range) for most RFFT indices...

Crop growth models are cost-effective and user-friendly tools for decision-makers to develop efficient in-field management strategies. These particularly important in countries such as Egypt, where the risk of water scarcity is inevitable. The present study aimed examine balance direct-seeded rice (Giza 178) under various irrigation regimes arid conditions during two growing seasons (2019 2020)...

In underground excavation, where the road-headers are employed, a precise prediction of the road-header performance has a vital role in the economy of the project. In this paper, a new model is developed for prediction of the road-header performance using the non-linear multivariate regression analysis. This model is able to estimate the instantaneous cutting rate (ICR) of roadheader based on r...

OBJECTIVE To assess whether tissue Doppler myocardial imaging (TDI) indices can predict postoperative left ventricular function in patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) after surgical correction. METHODS 84 patients (mean (SD) age 54.3 (10.8) years) with asymptomatic severe MR, an end systolic diameter < 45 mm, and an ejection fraction (EF) > 60% were subdivided in two groups: 43 patients w...

Introduction: Perchloroethylene (PCE) is one of the most well-known chlorinated organic compounds recently detected in aqueous environments. The presence of PCE in aquatic ecosystems has caused many health problems and environmental challenges. Therefore, its removal and treatment from aqueous environments are essential. Materials and Methods: The electro-Fenton (EF) process was carried out in...

with the increasing competition among companies and basic revise is essential staffing as a strategic factor and management needs and stakeholders organization to decision-making accountants noted the importance of measuring human value. the information was expressed as human resource accounting. the main discussion as to whether humans fit the traditional definition of assets, and how to measu...
