A Multilevel Investigation of the Social Aspects of Self-Regulation in the Context of Collaborative Ill-Structured Problem Solving
(2012)
This study investigated the effect of the social aspects of self-regulation on students' ill-structured problem-solving performance in a collaborative learning environment. Specifically, two components of the social aspects ...
III-V and Thin Film Photovoltaics for Extraterrestrial Application
(2019)
Photovoltaic power is one of the few options available for electrical devices stationed outside of our atmosphere. As the satellite market turns to smaller satellites based on the CubeSat and SmallSat form factor, these ...
An Introduction to the General Monotone Model with Application to Two Problematic Data Sets
(Sociological Methodology, 2015-01-21)
