Faculty renewal

Primary care renewal: regional faculty development and organizational change.

BACKGROUND Many reports, including the Future of Family Medicine, have called for change in primary care, but few have defined, implemented, and evaluated mechanisms to address such change. The regional, interdisciplinary Primary Care Renewal Project was designed to address problems in primary care practice and teaching related to practice management, compensation, increasing responsibility for...

Renewal Theory

(1) Sn = S0 + n ∑ i=1 Xi When S0 = 0 the renewal process is an ordinary renewal process; when S0 is a nonnegative random variable the renewal process is a delayed renewal process. In either case, the individual terms Sn of this sequence are called renewals, or sometimes occurrences. With each renewal process is associated a renewal counting process N (t ) that tracks the total number of renewal...

Faculty-Faculty Interactions in Online Learning Environments

Past research has shown that peer support helps improve faculty activities such as research, teaching, and technology competencies. Using a mixed research method design, this research study investigated resources available to faculty as they teach or prepare to teach online courses at a large Midwest public university. In addition, the study explored the nature of peer interactions that existed...

Note on Fuzzy Random Renewal Process and Renewal Rewards Process

Recently, Zhao et al. [Fuzzy Optimization and Decision Making (2007) 6, 279-295] characterized the interarrival times as fuzzy random variables and presented a fuzzy random elementary renewal theorem on the limit value of the expected renewal rate of the process in the fuzzy random renewal process. They also depicted both the interarrival times and rewards are depicted as fuzzy random variables...
