Political Television Commercials: An Experimental Study of Type and Length
(Communication Research, 1978-01-01)Considerable controversy has arisen over the use in political campaigns of short, image-oriented television commercials. This study compared the effect of type (image and issue) and length (5 minute and 60 second) of ... -
Popular Science in National and Transnational Perspective: Suggestions from the American Context
(2009-06)In what ways can the study of science and popular culture in the American context contribute to ongoing debates on popularization and popular science? This essay suggests that, for several reasons, attention to the antebellum ... -
Porosity Reduction in the High-Speed Processing of Glass-Fiber Composites by Resin Transfer Molding (RTM)
(Journal of Composite Materials, 2004-02-01)High-speed processing is essential to achieve lower production cost in the fabrication of fiber-reinforced composites with the current liquid molding practices. A major consequence of increasing the resin injection velocity ... -
Positive Youth Development Interventions Impacting the Sexual Health of Young Minority Adolescents: A Systematic Review
(The Journal of Early Adolescence, 2015-03-30)A systematic literature review was conducted to assess the utility of Positive Youth Development (PYD) concepts in promoting positive sexual health behaviors in young minority adolescents (n = 12 studies). Interventions ... -
Post-Cure Compression as a Void Reduction Technique for Thermosetting Composites
(2005)Composite materials often suffer from process-induced defects such as voids that lower their overall performance and thus limit their wider application. Void formation mechanisms and detrimental effects of voids on mechanical ... -
The Power of Kawa: Metaphor in Counseling Supervision
(2021-07-19)Clinical supervision is an essential aspect of counselor training. Apart from traditional models of supervision, many new and creative ways of conducting supervision have emerged. The integration of the Kawa Model that ... -
Power Window Control Location Stereotypes
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1992-10-01)A paper-and-pencil survey instrument and an operational test were used to assess stereotype strength for automobile power window controls. Control panel layout (square vs. linear) and mounting plane were examined along ... -
Practical and scholarly implications of information behavior research: A pilot study of research literature
(2015-12)Introduction. This pilot study examined how current information behaviour research addresses the implications and potential impacts of its findings. The goal was to understand what implications and contributions the field ... -
Practicing a Professional Ethic: Leading for Students’ Best Interests
(2011-08)This research examined secondary administrators’ perspectives about the expression “the best interests of the student.” Principals’ intimate reflections provided empirical insights into what they mean when they use the ... -
Pre-Instructional Minitests: An Efficient Solution to the Problem of Covering Content
(Journal of Management Education, 1994-02-01)This article is aimed at achieving two purposes: (a) challenging the common and often unrecognized assumption that the only way to ensure that students are exposed to course concepts is by personally going over the material ... -
Precipitation and carbon-water coupling jointly control the interannual variability of global land gross primary production
(2016-12-23)Carbon uptake by terrestrial ecosystems is increasing along with the rising of atmospheric CO2 concentration. Embedded in this trend, recent studies suggested that the interannual variability (IAV) of global carbon fluxes ... -
Predator foraging altitudes reveal the structure of aerial insect communities
(2016-06-29)The atmosphere is populated by a diverse array of dispersing insects and their predators. We studied aerial insect communities by tracking the foraging altitudes of an avian insectivore, the Purple Martin (Progne subis). ... -
Predicting academic misconduct intentions and behavior using the theory of planned behavior and personality
(2010-02-23)The efficacy of Azjen’s (1985; 1991) Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) for the prediction of cheating intentions and behaviors was examined in a sample of 241 business undergraduates. Mediated structural equation models ... -

A Prediction Model for Consumer Behavior regarding Product Safety
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1986-09-01)The objective of this study was the development of a model to predict whether a consumer would use a product safely as a function of sixteen different individual variables. Subjects were presented with four consumer products ... -
Prediction of Cardiac Response to Physical Stress
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1974-10-01)This paper presents a method for predicting an individual's cardiac response to a series of fixed intensity tasks. It was determined that cardiac responses to exercise at given work loads are similar for subjects of the ... -
Prediction of moisture saturation levels for vinylester composite laminates : a data-driven approach for predicting the behavior of composite materials
(2018-05-21)This paper introduces a comprehensive, data-driven method to predict the properties of composite materials, such as thermo-mechanical properties, moisture saturation level, durability, or other such important behavior. ... -
Prefrontal Control of the Amygdala during Real-Time fMRI Neurofeedback Training of Emotion Regulation
(PLos One, 2013-11-06)We observed in a previous study (PLoS ONE 6:e24522) that the self-regulation of amygdala activity via real-time fMRI neurofeedback (rtfMRI-nf) with positive emotion induction was associated, in healthy participants, with ... -
