Achievement goals, self-handicapping, and performance: A 2 × 2 achievement goal perspective
Elliot and colleagues (2006) examined the effects of experimentally induced achievement goals, proposed by the
trichotomous model, on self-handicapping and performance in physical education. Our study replicated and extended the
work of Elliot et al. by experimentally promoting all four goals proposed by the 262 model (Elliot & McGregor, 2001),
measuring the participants’ own situational achievement goals, using a relatively novel task, and testing the participants in a group setting. We used a randomized experimental design with four conditions that aimed to induce one of the four goals advanced by the 262 model. The participants (n¼138) were undergraduates who engaged in a dart-throwing task. The results pertaining to self-handicapping partly replicated Elliot and colleagues’ findings by showing that experimentally promoted performance-avoidance goals resulted in less practice. In contrast, the promotion of mastery-avoidance goals did
not result in less practice compared with either of the approach goals. Dart-throwing performance did not differ among the four goal conditions. Personal achievement goals did not moderate the effects of experimentally induced goals on selfhandicapping and performance. The extent to which mastery-avoidance goals are maladaptive is discussed, as well as the interplay between personal and experimentally induced goals

Elliot-Yafet mechanism in graphene
The differences between spin relaxation in graphene and in other materials
are discussed. For relaxation by scattering processes, the Elliot-Yafet
mechanism, the relation between the spin and the momentum scattering times
acquires a dependence on the carrier density, which is independent of the
scattering mechanism and the relation between mobility and carrier
concentration. This dependence puts severe restrictions on the origin of the
spin relaxation in graphene. The density dependence of the spin relaxation
allows us to distinguish between ordinary impurities and defects which modify
locally the spin-orbit interaction.Comment: 4 pages + \epsilon + S
Mr. Robot – Part One: ‘Our Democracy has been hacked’ – Critiquing Mr. Robot
It was noted in the previous post, that the underlying plotline structuring Sam Esmail’s Mr. Robot bears a notable resemblance to David Fincher’s Fight Club (1999). Certainly, the comparison has been duly noted and even openly acknowledged by Esmail, with the film serving as inspiration for the series (Sullivan, 2015). In the case of seasons 1 and 2, this inspiration fuels Elliot and fsociety’s attempts to erase the commercial debt that has been accumulated by E Corp. Lines from the characters are riddled with references to the increasing divide between rich and poor, and to the declining significance of democracy in the face of a social and political climate steered by liberal capitalism’s unending and unequal pursuit of wealth. As noted, these ills are embodied in the conglomerate E Corp, or, as Elliot refers to it, ‘Evil Corp’. E Corp can be thought of as a reflection of Apple, with its technology, digital payment services and loan/credit portfolios always encroaching on the lives of the series’ characters. Accordingly, while The Narrator in Fight Club seeks to bring down capitalism, by exploding the headquarters of its leading companies, Elliot seeks to reset the balance by hacking E Corp’s computer database and eradicating the consumer debt it holds. ...

The examination of how modern, overeducated and intellectual men are alienated from their environment of materialistic values of the Modern Era, with regard to the poem “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” by T.S. Elliot.
An intellectual man eventually questions the deviations in his society and he is usually
astounded by how he is obliged to stand alone in that society. This work specifically focuses on
how the shattered values of Modern World lead the intellectual individual to alienation and
suffering, with regard to the poem “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” by T.S. Elliot. The
given imageries, stylistic devices, meanings and some certain references are examined as well, as
indications of the suffering of the individual.
The essay also includes the historical and social background of American Literature of
twentieth century and stresses the relation between the mentioned factors and the attitude of
modern men. After World War I, the artistic approach of some certain writers of the mentioned
era has been mainly affected by the social changes. The main aim is to study how these changes
influenced the poetry of T.S. Elliot; more specifically investigate the indications of that certain
state of mind embedded in “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”.
As a focus, the research question of this essay suggests concentrating on the topic by
taking major themes, linguistics, structures, tone, atmosphere and setting of the poem into
consideration. All the mentioned points are discussed in a detailed way in order to determine and
comprehend the state of endurance and alienation of modern man. With the help of stylistic
devices, language and themes he uses, Elliot demonstrates how he is distressful about the
materialistic values of the Modern Era, as well as his personal suffering
