A first principles determination of the orientation of H3O+ in hydronium by Gale, Julian, Wright, Kathleen, Hudson-edwards, Karen

“…The higher level of disorder in the hydrogen positions offers an explanation as to why their location has proved elusive thus far.…”

Motivation in action: A process model of L2 motivation by Dornyei, Zoltan, Otto, Istvan

“…We have found that none of the existing models we considered were entirely adequate for our purpose for three reasons: (1) they did not provide a sufficiently comprehensive and detailed summary of all the relevant motivational influences on classroom behaviour; (2) they tended to focus on how and why people choose certain courses of action, while ignoring or playing down the importance of motivational sources of executing goal-directed behaviour; and (3) they did not do justice to the fact that motivation is not static but dynamically evolving and changing in time, making it necessary for motivation constructs to contain a featured temporal axis. …”

Repetitive Negative Thinking in Anticipation of a Stressor by McEvoy, Peter, Moulds, M., Mahoney, A.

“…Undergraduates (N = 175, 61% women) completed the RTQ-Ant, along with measures of various emotions, with reference to upcoming university exams. Principal axis factor analysis yielded many similarities between the original post-event RTQ and the RTQ-Ant, and some differences. …”

Manipulating the magnetic anisotropy in the ferromagnetic semiconductor Gallium Manganese Arsenide by Casiraghi, Arianna

“…Furthermore, it is demonstrated that by varying the temperature or the post-growth annealing time it is possible to obtain a reorientation of the magnetic easy axis from an in-plane direction to the perpendicular-to-plane direction in some samples, which is another interesting aspect of this material. …”

Investigating the effectiveness of an online course : development of the comparative learning environment questionnaire by Iyer, Radha

“…For the learning environment instrument, principal axis factoring with varimax rotation (conducted separately for the online and face-to-face course) confirmed that, without exception, all items had a factor loading of at least 0.40 on their a priori scale and no other scale. …”

Motion and form vision in typical and atypical adult readers by Johnston, R.

“…By varying the degree of uncertainty associated with the axis of global motion or orientation, the ability to form a perceptual anchor was manipulated across different blocks of trials. …”

The thyroid and glycaemic endocrine influences on brown adipose tissue and its measurement using infrared thermography by Law, James M.

“…Since heat energy is, eventually, dissipated from the body, the result is energy expenditure. Why the body possesses such a tissue specifically designed to waste energy is explained by the benefit conferred by the ability to produce heat on demand, in response to cold challenge. …”
