Greene's resource theory of single party dominance
… democracy versus dictatorship. Kenneth Greene’s Resource Theory seeks to explain prolonged electoral dominance in these systems by looking at resource asymmetries between the governing party and the opposition. Greene applies his theory to democratic and non-democratic SPD systems alike. In order …

An evaluation of Greene's resource theory of party dominance with reference to the South African case
… advances that “hyperincumbency advantages” (i.e. resource and policy advantages accruing to the dominant party) best explain how dominant parties persist, and that the decline in these advantages is linked with decline in party dominance. Greene's early analyses took place before the ANC qualified …

On quantum randomness and quantum resources
… part explores the general aspects of quantum resource theory. We introduce three theories that do not rely on the specific resource: the theory of resource destroying maps, the one-shot operational resource theory, and the resource theory of quantum channels.

Quantum Resource Theories for Thermodynamics, Reference Frames, and Uncertainty
… is at the interface of physics and information theory, with applications including quantum computing and communication. Within this science, a resource theory is a detailed study of a particular class of physical processes, under which the possible state transitions are restricted. Given any …

Factors that contribute to educational success for Hispanic students in Texas school districts
… a synthesis of social capital and political resource theories to identify the structural determinants that impact positive educational outcomes. Three research questions guided the study: (1) Does social capital have an effect on educational success of Hispanic students in Texas school …

Effects of spatial uncertainty in visual scanning on divided and selective attention and multi-task performance
… theories of selective attention and the multiple resource theory of divided attention by examining the relation of visual scanning as a sequential and selective attention process to other concurrent spatial or verbal tasks. A distinction is proposed between visual scanning with or without spatial …

Quantum correlations, quantum resource theories and exclusion game
… addresses two topics in quantum information theory. The first topic is quantum correlations and quantum resource theory. The second is quantum communication theory. The first part summarizes an ongoing work about quantum correlations beyond entanglement and quantum resource theories. We …

Operational quantum resource theories : unified framework and applications
… to offer such quantitative treatments, quantum resource theory has been developed. This is an operationally motivated framework, which systematically deals with quantication and manipulation of the quantum effects by considering the quantities of interest as precious "resources" that cannot be …

Distillation and simulation in quantum information
… and simulation in quantum information theory. We investigate these tasks in a unified framework of resource theory and focus on their computation and characterization with finite resources. Particularly we study the tradeoff among relevant parameters such as the number of resource …

Preadjunct questions as a learning strategy for older adults
… Results obtained were explained in terms of resource theory of cognitive aging.

Assessing the Effectiveness of an Interval Estimation and a Visual-Spatial Secondary Task as Measures of Mental Workload During Laparoscopy
… to increase mental workload. Based on multiple resource theory, it was predicted the visual-spatial task would be more sensitive to the workload manipulation than the time estimation task because it draws upon the specific, as opposed to more general, attentional resources required by …

Effect of Automation Management Strategies and Sensory Modalities as Applied to a Baggage Screening Task
… can be studied in terms of signal detection theory. Baggage screening is vital to national security and should be completed in a time efficient manner without compromising accuracy. In the present study, the automation management strategies of management by consent (MBC) and management by …

Comparing the Effects of Mental Workload Between Visual and Auditory Secondary Tasks During Laparoscopy
… of this study was to test Wickens’ Multiple Resource Theory (MRT) by comparing performance and subjective workload on a visual-spatial secondary task with an auditory-spatial analog when paired with visual-spatial laparoscopic primary tasks. Two primary tasks were performed with a …

Effects Of Voluntary Control On Performance Response Under Stress.
… employ metaphorical explanations (i.e., resource theory) in order to rapidly apply stimulus-response outcomes to the real world counterparts. This dissertation provides an alternative perspective about these metaphorical, or black box, interpretations and reveals how they may be …

Social Networking and the Web Campaign: Observations from the 2010 Election for the U.S. House of Representatives
… activities. Examination of social media using Resource Theory and Social Identity Theory justify this unique status by highlighting and rationalizing social media's exceptional capacity to build and maintain weak-tie networks while also generating an intimacy between constituents and …

Modelling interruptions of human-in-the loop tasks
… task. In this experiment we used the multi resource theory as a basis for analyzing interruptions and its effects. The results from the experiment will also help test another hypothesis that the resumption lag (in seconds) will depend on cross-modality (visual and audio) conditions of …

Defining relationships between school administrators’ work in school improvement and the teacher evaluation process within an Illinois school district
Guided by a synthesis of human resource theory as well as teacher effectiveness and school improvement research and policy, this study aimed to better understand school administrators’ responses to an externally imposed teacher quality measure (teacher-evaluation) and the extent that this measure …

Intercambio de recursos en la ficción de Percy Wyndham Lewis
… work of fiction Self-Condemned (1954). American Resource Theory of social exchange by Uriel G. Foa is the sociological framework proposed to explore the idiosyncratic relationship that exists between the interpersonal behaviour and resource exchanges of Lewis' main characters in these four …

On the nature and decay of quantum relative entropy
… at the core of thermodynamics and information theory, entropy's use in quantum information extends to diverse topics including high-energy physics and operator algebras. Entropy can gauge the extent to which a quantum system departs from classicality, including by measuring entanglement and …
