Such assistance includes attending office hours for extra help, joining astudy group or seeking out tutoring. Universities similarly focus on helping students throughcognitive means, such as encouraging faculty to improve teaching methods, upgrading orimproving technology resources or developing tutoring for specific courses. What is often notsupported are students’ non-cognitive competencies, which have been shown in previous studiesto be related to academic performance. Such non-cognitive and affective (NCA) competenciesinclude, for example, mindset, motivation, self-control, study strategies and environment, andstress management

IntroductionLarge commercial buildings, such as supermarkets or restaurants, require large capacity airconditioning units to maintain a comfortable environment for their customers and employees.These air conditioning units control, not only the indoor temperature, but also excessive moisturethat may be generated by people, cooking and other operating processes. The installation andoperating costs of these units are usually high. In order to reduce the unit capacity and operationcosts, many buildings, in recent years, are being equipped with desiccant cooling units thatreduce the indoor moisture level. These relatively new devices in commercial or residential airconditioning are expected to increase
