Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of ZnO on Dielectric Properties and Electrical Conductivity of Ternary Zinc Magnesium Phosphate GlassesS. F. Khor, Z. A. Talib, H. A.A. Sidek et al.Five different compositions of the ternary system (ZnO)x(MgO)30(P2O5)70-x containing 8, 10, 13, 15 and 18 moL% of ZnO were prepared by the melt quenching technique. The complex permittivity studies were presented in the frequency range of 0.01 Hz to 1 MHz and over the temperature range of 303-573 K. The empirical data were analyzed by means of the curve-fitting technique … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 8,244 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInciting Striving Speech (i.e., BS) and Imperfect Dialogical Exchanges is exactly what is needed in Higher Education TodayJames Carifio, Rocco PerlaHarry Frankfurt, the American moral philosopher, as well as his many advocates, has initiated a growing movement for eliminating BS from our culture and classrooms. BS is defined as people speaking beyond themselves on some topic that exceed their knowledge of the facts that are relevant to that topic. This article argues that BS and BS-ing (i.e., striving speech and … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,634 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTen Common Misunderstandings, Misconceptions, Persistent Myths and Urban Legends about Likert Scales and Likert Response Formats and their AntidotesJames Carifio, Rocco J. PerlaA recent article by Jamieson in Medical Education outlined some of the (alleged) abuses of "Likert scales" with suggestions about how researchers can overcome some of the (alleged) methodological pitfalls and limitations[1]. However, many of the ideas advanced in the Jamison article, as well as a great many of articles it cited, and similar recent articles in medical, health, psychology, … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 53,837 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuality Of Work Life: Implications Of Career DimensionsRaduan C. Rose, LooSee Beh, Jegak Uli, Khairuddin IdrisLiterature on QWL is limited and several studies commonly correlates with job satisfaction but no study on QWL has associated with career related factors.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSuppression of Instabilities and Stochastic Pulsation at Laser-Plasma Interaction by Beam SmoothingFrederick Osman, Heinrich HoraThe key problem of direct drive laser fusion is the appearance of parametric instabilities, stochastic pulsation, self-focusing (filamentation) and other anomalies. During the long years studies, the empirical and intuitively developed methods for smoothing of the laser beam were rather successful but a transparent understanding of the physics has still to be found. The first theory how the instabilities are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 6,798 accessesView PDFCite
