The learning ability of a firm is often cited as a necessary feature for
its longevity. This ability has a greater impact on family businesses, given their
characteristics. This research analyses the learning ability of Portuguese small
family businesses. The research is based on an empirical study with primary
data collected from a multiple case study of 22 firms. The results indicate that
firms have some learning ability but on a small scale. The results also show that
this learning capacity is almost absent from the design of firms’ operations and
employees and is especially related to the owner-manager and the relationship
established with the environment.
We conducted two experiments to determine the effect of added glycerol or a 50:50 soy oil/glycerol blend on the flow ability characteristics of ground corn or ground corn and 15 or 30% spray-dried whey. Experiments were conducted using corn ground by either a full circle, tear drop hammer mill or a three-high roller mill at the Kansas State University Grain Science Feed Mill. Flow ability was determined by measuring angle of repose. In Exp. 1 we evaluated the effects of added soy oil, glycerol, or a 50:50 soy oil/glycerol blend on the flow ability of ground corn. Samples were ground through a roller mill (RM) or hammermill (HM). Particle size mean and standard deviations of the ground corn were 645 microns and 1.97 for the roller mill and 674 microns and 2.31 for the hammer mill. Soy oil, glycerol, or a 50:50 blend of soy oil/glycerol ...

© 2016 Wei, Chen and Zhou. Previous research has shown that females consistently outperform males in exact arithmetic, perhaps due to the former's advantage in language processing. Much less is known about gender difference in approximate arithmetic. Given that approximate arithmetic is closely associated with visuospatial processing, which shows a male advantage we hypothesized that males would perform better than females in approximate arithmetic. In two experiments (496 children in Experiment 1 and 554 college students in Experiment 2), we found that males showed better performance in approximate arithmetic, which was accounted for by gender differences in spatial ability.
On the 50th anniversary of the ISSA and IRSS, a leading scholar on ageing, sport, and physical activity, ISSA President Elizabeth Pike considers the increasing numbers of "Third Age Societies" and the trajectory, challenges, and future directions of sociological research on sport, age, and ability. Noting longstanding interest in sport and ageing dating back to the late 1800s, the trajectory of research in this area has accelerated with both longer life spans and evidence of a more 'heroic' model of the possibilities of aging. A continuing challenge for sociologists of sport is to critique dominant perceptions of ageing that suggest many activities are inappropriate for the ageing body. Future inquiry in the area of sport, age, and ablility needs to expand in coming years in recognition that people over 60 constitute the fastest growin...
This manuscript presents two studies of the relationship between team cognitive ability (average Scholastic Aptitude Test score of team members) and team performance (a subjective coach's evaluation and an objective measure using Sagarin's Power Rankings) among NCAA Division 1 Men's Basketball teams. Study 1 was conducted following the 1991-92 season whereas Study 2 was conducted during the 1993-94 season. Both studies indicated that team cognitive ability was significantly related to the coach's evaluation but not to the power ranking measure, and that team strategy moderated the relationship between cognitive ability and the coach's evaluation of performance. Cognitive ability moderated the relationship between team strategy and power ranking, but the nature of the interaction was different across the two studies.
