Pedagogic approaches to overcoming mathematical anxiety of schoolchildren

Epigenetic approaches to overcoming chemotherapy resistance.

Behavioural approaches to anxiety disorders.

Powerful behavioural treatments for many patients with anxiety disorders have been widely available since the 1970s. Despite this, the majority of such patients have continued to be treated with psychotrophic drugs. Recent litigation against the manufacturers of benzodiazepine drugs has made the public increasingly concerned about the prescription of anxiolytic agents. In parallel with the fall...

Mathematical approaches to comparative linguistics.

The inference of the evolutionary history of a set of languages is a complex problem. Although some languages are known to be related through descent from common ancestral languages, for other languages determining whether such a relationship holds is itself a difficult problem. In this paper we report on new methods, developed by linguists Johanna Nichols (University of California, Berkeley), ...

Mathematical approaches to dynamic scaling

Studies of phase separation lead to many interesting probems in non-equilibrium thermodynamics. The hypothesis of ynamic scaling plays an essential role in our understandng of such processes (see for example, Ref. [1]). This is a ell-tested hypothesis based on experiments and determinisic and stochastic numerical simulations. This article is a short ntroduction to mathematical methods useful in...

Perceived Dental Anxiety among Schoolchildren Treated through Three Caries Removal Approaches

OBJECTIVES The aim of the investigation was to test the differences in the perceived level of dental anxiety among children treated restoratively using the Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) approach, the traditional restorative (TRA) approach and ART aided with a chemomechanical caries removal gel (ART plus). METHODS The study subjects were 6-7-year-old children. TRA was compared to ART ...
