Test-taking behavior under formula and number-right scoring conditions

Comparison of formula and number-right scoring in undergraduate medical training: a Rasch model analysis

BACKGROUND Progress testing is an assessment tool used to periodically assess all students at the end-of-curriculum level. Because students cannot know everything, it is important that they recognize their lack of knowledge. For that reason, the formula-scoring method has usually been used. However, where partial knowledge needs to be taken into account, the number-right scoring method is used....

Risk-Taking Behavior Under the Effect of Emotional Stimuli Among Children and Adults

Risk-taking has an important role in human’s life, either positive or negative. Thus, finding a method to control or drive this in a particular way could affect individuals and communities’ health by discouraging negative risks such as reckless driving or encouraging positive risks. Emotion induction is one of the methods that can enhance or reinforce risk-taking according to the perceived emot...

Crack Behavior of the Aluminum Alloy 2024 Under Fretting Conditions

The initial stage of fretting fatigue crack growth is significantly influenced by tangential force induced by fretting action along the contact surface where a mixed-mode crack growth is involved. Fretting crack behavior of aluminum alloy 2024 was studied, taking into account the problem of contact asperities. Finite element was used for the determination of the stress field near the contact su...

Double-Cage Induction motors behavior under Flicker Conditions

Kuroda’s Class Number Formula

Let k be a number field and K/k a V4-extension, i.e., a normal extension with Gal(K/k) = V4, where V4 is Klein’s four-group. K/k has three intermediate fields, say k1, k2, and k3. We will use the symbol N i (resp. Ni) to denote the norm of K/ki (resp. ki/k), and by a widespread abuse of notation we will apply N i and Ni not only to numbers, but also to ideals and ideal classes. The unit groups ...
