in this paper, the temperature distribution around a moving heat source had been investigated including the phase change and non phase change . in non-phase change state, the governing equation was converted to finite difference equation by finite volume method and the equation was solved by alternating direction implicit method. this method was unconditionally stable . in phase change state, t...

The present research examined the nature of stability and change in achievement goal endorsement over time, using 4 complementary data-analytic approaches (differential continuity, mean-level change, individual-level change, and ipsative continuity). Three longitudinal studies were conducted in college classrooms; in each study, achievement goals were assessed prior to a series of 3 course exam...
