The prediction of college mathematics grades has been widely researched. Results from other studies have shown that the prediction of college mathematics grades can vary depending on the set of predictor variables considered. For instance, some...
The goal of this effort was the design and analysis of multiple composite material tension specimens, which when loaded only with an inplane load, exhibit bend, torsion, and shear extension coupling. The coupling effects distinguish composite...
The present study investigates the link between trait anger and non-compliant behavior in prison. A sample of inmates from three prisons in the Connecticut Department of Correction were studied to determine if the level of their trait anger would...
A significant amount of criminology research and theory has focused on criminals’ past criminal behavior and social-psychological conditions as a way to predict future criminal behavior. Little attention is given to events and transitions that...
Computers -- Soviet Union; Computer industry -- Soviet Union
It is widely accepted that the technological and scientific phenomenon that came to be known as “Computing” contributed immensely in the development of the post-World War II industrial societies - to the extent that, today, the technological...
Mathematics -- Study and teaching (Secondary); Personality and academic achievement; Prediction of scholastic success
The purpose of this study is to determine if a personality test combined with a mathematics placement test can be used to identify students that may need additional interventions as early in the school year as possible. The school in which this...
Prediction of scholastic success; Chemistry -- Study and teaching (Secondary); Algebra
In a New England private, all-male high school, all students are required to take a chemistry course, regardless of their academic course level. Many of the students and their parents believe, if they are not strong in mathematics, that they will...
