The Interrelationships among Anxiety, Intelligence, and Academic Achievement in College Students (open access)

The Interrelationships among Anxiety, Intelligence, and Academic Achievement in College Students

It was the purpose of this study to investigate the nature of the relationships among anxiety, achievement, and intelligence. It was deduced that anxiety and intelligence work together mainly at the level of average intelligence.

The influence of anxiety on academic achievement is insignificant at other levels due to the overriding effects of intelligence.

Cross-Section at 15.6 and 16.1 MeV

The intent of this investigation is the determination of the values of the Cs-133 (n,2n)Cs-132 cross-section at neutron energies of 15.6 and 16.1 MeV. Neutrons of this energy are produced with comparative ease by means of the D-T reaction, in which deuterons of energy 500 and 750 keV, respectively, are impingent upon a tritium target.
