Goal Length (Short or Long Term) Interacts with Goal Scheduling Strategy (Clock Time or Event Time) for Optimal Achievement.

There are two strategies for scheduling personal goals: (i) clock-time, based on time passage; and (ii) event-time, based on the progress made. Neither strategy is always superior to the other; rather it is necessary to consider the environment and other conditions such as whether the goal is long or short term. We focused on goal lengthas an important factor for determining the best scheduling strategy, hypothesizing that clock-time and event-time strategies would differentially activate higher performance for long-term and short-term goals, respectively.

Can Regulatory Fit Improve Elementary School Students' Performance? Effects of Different Types of Regulatory Fit.

Previous studies have demonstrated the effect of regulatory fit on Japanese elementary school students (aged 9-12 years). The hypotheses were that promotion focused students tend to show good performance related to speed when they use an eager manner; on the other hand, prevention focused students tend to show good performance related to accuracy when they use a vigilant manner. In Study 1, the class teacher assessed their student's regulatory focus and then manipulated the students' manner of solving a calculation task by asking the students to engage speedily so that they solve many tasks in eager manner condition, or accurately so that they can avoid making errors in the vigilant manner condition.

Revaporization Behavior of Cesium and Iodine Compounds from Their Deposits in the Steam-Boron Atmosphere.

This paper presents our investigation on cesium and iodine revaporization from cesium iodide (CsI) deposits on stainless steel type 304L, which were initiated by boron and/or steam flow. A dedicated basic experimental facility with a thermal gradient tube (TGT) having a temperature range of 1000-400 K was used for simulating the phenomena. In the absence of boron, it was found that the initially deposited CsI at 850 K could be revaporized as CsI vapor/aerosol or reacted with the carrier gas and stainless steel (CrO layer) to form CsCrO.
