BACKGROUND Contemporary research suggests that task and ego achievement goal orientations affect students' intrinsic motivation in physical education. This research has assessed intrinsic motivation as a unidimensional contruct, however, which is inconsistent with the more contemporary postulates of self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985, 1991) which states that intrinsic motivation is on...

a 22 year old male referred with palpitation. general appearance and physical exam impressed us in that the patient has marfan syndrome. cardiac catheterization showed diffuse arterial ectasia. we found no previous report of this generalized diffuse ectasia.

(b) bilateral CuS after a technically inadequate CtPa. A repeat CTPA should be performed only if a review of prior study suggests a technical cause that can be remedied or improved. A positive CUS may preclude the need for further tests that involve radiation. Consider repeating the CUS twice, on days 3 and 7. While serial ultrasound has not been directly studied in suspected PE, this strategy ...

HAT archaic, residuary "s" in hostel might be said to represent whateVer it is that distinguishes such an establishment from the s-less hotel. We run hostels do well to examine ln?se distinguishing features with very S^eat care, because it is the provision ot them, rather than of basic hotel reciuirements, that justifies our existence. The basic hotel requirements we must provide too, but every...

We provide a theory for the dynamics of collapse of strongly charged polyelectrolytes (PEs) and flexible polyampholytes (PAs) using Langevin equation. After the initial stage, in which counterions condense onto PE, the mechanism of approach to the globular state is similar for PE and PA. In both instances, metastable pearl-necklace structures form in characteristic time scale that is proportion...

We provide a historical background on Ziemba’s experiences and research on the bondstock earnings yield differential model (BSEYD), from the time he first used it in Japan in 1988 through to the present in 2014. Over this period, the model has called many crashes, but not all. Those called have had high interest rates in long term bonds relative to the trailing earnings to price ratio. In gener...

The International Electrotechnical Commission is the organisation which develops and sets international standards in electrotechnical engineering areas. In 1997 the IEC published the standard IEC 61508, Functional safety of electrical/electronic/programmable electronic safety-related systems. The phrase “electrical/electronic/programmable electronic” is cumbersome and is often shortened to E/E/...

background: it is known that basic science and general courses play a vital role in training of medical students. the medical students' comprehensive basic science examination (cbse) scores seem to be a potential tool for predicting their comprehensive pre-internship examination (cpie) scores. purpose: to evaluate the predictive validity of medical students' cbse scores for predicting their cpi...
