How Does Classroom and Behavior Management Preparation Impact Performance and Confidence Among Elementary School Teachers?
<p>Being an effective classroom manager is a key component to successful teaching. Research has indicated that teachers are not satisfied with their credential program preparation in the areas of classroom and behavior management. The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a correlation …

The Spillover Effects of Motivational Processes in a Dual Task Setting
… study set out to examine whether negative goal-performance discrepancy (GPD) feedback for one task could have a negative effect on goal-setting associated with an unrelated, distinct task. A series of hierarchical regression analyses were conducted. Results show that large versus small negative …

Mechanochemical synthesis and evaluation of rubber-thermoplastic polymer blends
… lower than in the case of dicumyl peroxide. The performance of different ratios of natural rubber-polypropylene (60/40) composition as a solid phase dispersant (SPD)in polypropylene-polyeth ylene (1:1) blends was investigated. The behaviour of the above system was compared with that of EPDM when …

The Effect of Receiver Nonlinearity and Nonlinearity Induced Interference on the Performance of Amplitude Modulated Signals
… some degree of nonlinearity that can negatively impact performance. Two major effects from this nonlinearity are power compression, which leads to amplitude and phase distortions in the received signal, and desensitization caused by a high powered interfering signal at an adjacent channel. As the …
