The Effect of Context on the Silver Ceiling: A Role Congruity Perspective on Prejudiced Responses
Three studies examined role incongruity as a source of age bias in hiring decisions. Building upon previous research demonstrating contextual variation in prejudice, we predicted that prejudiced responses emerge particularly ... -
The Effect of Context on the Silver Ceiling: A Role Congruity Perspective on Prejudiced Responses
(2010-07-01)Three studies examined role incongruity as a source of age bias in hiring decisions. Building upon previous research demonstrating contextual variation in prejudice, we predicted that prejudiced responses emerge particularly ... -
Effect of Tunable Indexing on Term Distribution and Cluster-based Information Retrieval Performance
(1997-01-01)The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of tunable indexing on the structure and information retrieval performance of a clustered document database. The generation of all cluster structures and calculation ... -
Effectiveness Assessment of the Cover Coefficient Based Clustering Methodology
An algorithm for document clustering is introduced. The basic concept of the algorithm, Cover Coefficient (CC) concept, provides means of estimating the number of clusters within a document database and relates indexing ... -
An Empirical Investigation of Four Strategies for Serializing Schedules in Transaction Processing
(1992-12-01)A database management system (DBMS) is a very large program that allows users to create and maintain databases. A DBMS has many capabilities. This study will focus on the capability known as transaction management, the ... -
Engaging Youth in Leadership for Social and Political Change
Youth leadership initiatives can help young people engage in democratic life, participatory governance, and social and political change. Leadership education oriented towards political and social change must continue to ... -
Enriching gender in physics education research: A binary past and a complex future
[This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Gender in Physics.] In this article, we draw on previous reports from physics, science education, and women’s studies to propose a more nuanced treatment of gender in physics ... -
Enzymatic regulation of glycogenolysis in a subarctic population of the wood frog: implications for extreme freeze tolerance
The wood frog, Rana sylvatica, from Interior Alaska survives freezing at –16°C, a temperature 10–13°C below that tolerated by its southern conspecifics. We investigated the hepatic freezing response in this northern phenotype ... -
ERPs of Children Aged 6-12 During Optical Spatial Reasoning Video Game Task
This talk focused on analysis of ERPs of Children Aged 6-12 during a video game task. Behavioral and psychophysiological results were presented. Discussion focused on the importance of spatial reasoning development of ... -
Evaluating Market Conditions: A simplified Approach for Analyzing Stock Price Activity
(2003-05-01)To simplify the process of determining which actions an investor should take, all application that provides a list of trade to be placed each morning was designed. Because the application gives signals on the long and the ... -
An evaluation of the reconstructed coefficient of determination and potential adjustments
Previously, a method was proposed for calculating a reconstructed coefficient of determination in the case of right-censored regression using the expectation–maximization (EM) algorithm. This measure is assessed via ... -
Evidence-Informed Practice in Massachusetts (USA): A Systems-Level Analysis
This chapter examines Massachusetts (USA) public primary and secondary educators’ use of evidence-informed practices. We pay special attention to the role of the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education ... -
Examining the Impact on Mortality Arising from Climate Change: Important Findings for the Insurance Industry
In this paper, we analyze the impact on overall mortality rates for the general US population arising from climate change and the weather events resulting in property damages for the period 1968–2013. We develop a fixed ... -
Experimental Evaluation of the Cleanroom Software Development Method
(1992-03-01)The field of software engineering is evolving as various new techniques, languages, paradigms, process models, methodologies, metrics etc., are constantly being developed, used and improved. In the past, several empirical ... -
Experiments on Incremental Clustering
(1991-08-01)Clustering of very large document databases is essential to reduce the spacehime complexity of information retrieval. The periodic updating of clusters is required due to the dynamic nature of databases. An algorithm for ...
