The study investigated the effectiveness of increasing ALT for college students' achievement in Kuwait. In Phase 1, 37 students participated (22, experimental; 15, control); in Phase 2, 19 students participated (8, sub-experimental; 11, sub-control). Several experimental research methods used in conducting this study, including development of a designed class schedule; and several applications in the data collection process. Data analysis and results revealed a 100.54% change in Phase 1 experimental group, while indicating a positive weak correlation when ALT increased in the Phase 2 sub-experimental group. Finally, the conclusion and recommendations offer insights for administrators, instructors, and for future research.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is initiating a rulemaking and data collection process to develop a potential test procedure and energy conservation standard for set-top boxes (STB) and network equipment. To facilitate this process, DOE has gathered data, identifying several issues associated with currently available industry test procedures, efficiency standards and energy use data for STBs on which DOE is particularly interested in receiving comment. DOE welcomes written comments from the public on any subject within the scope of this rulemaking (including topics not raised in this RFI). DOE will hold a public meeting as part of this RFI.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is initiating the rulemaking and data collection process to consider establishing energy conservation standards for high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps. Accordingly, DOE will hold a public meeting to discuss and receive comments on its planned analytical approach and the issues it will address in this rulemaking proceeding. DOE welcomes written comments from the public on this rulemaking. To inform stakeholders and to facilitate this process, DOE has prepared a framework document which details the analytical approach and identifies several issues on which DOE is particularly interested in receiving comment. The framework document is posted at: http://www1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/appliance--standards/ commercial/high--intensity--discharge--lamps.html.

Nearly every business is feeling the pinch of the recession and adopting some form of belt-tightening. One method that is often overlooked for reducing operational costs involves maintaining accurate, relevant customer data. To do that, you must adopt effective data management processes in order to fix and avoid corrupt, outdated, inaccurate or incomplete data. By definition, data quality involves ensuring the accuracy, timeliness, completeness and consistency of customer data. A truly effective customer data system involves a three-step process. First, the customer data is collected. Second, data from multiple, disparate sources are combined and examined to determine conformity. And finally, the data is cleansed to correct inconsistencies and errors. Community banks need to have organi...

This study adds to our understanding of financial literacy by examining a methodology issue in how researchers measure financial literacy. Previous studies have failed to allow for the difference between respondents knowing the correct answers to basic knowledge questions and correctly guessing the answers to those questions. Previous studies have also frequently failed to allow respondents to admit not knowing the answer to financial questions posed to them, implicitly not recognizing the difference between one being aware he is lacking in knowledge and one incorrectly thinking that he knows certain information. We address these issues by offering a simple solution to the data collection process that allows for these distinctions to be made.
