Running head: ANALYSIS OF UNDERGRADUATE GRADE DISTRIBUTIONS

نویسنده

  • Ryan Sullivan
چکیده

National universities have been ranked and compared with one another since their conception, and there are now a number of resources available that list these rankings. The U.S. News and World Report’s listing of the World’s Best Universities, the most prominent of these rankings, ranks the top universities based on a number of attributes. However, they overlook the aspect of objective quantification and comparison of these top schools by undergraduate academic performance. The objective of this study is to provide an in-depth analysis of grade distributions in three subject areas of several top universities. Preliminary results suggest that there is a positive correlation between university rank and average GPA earned per student. This study presents an objective procedure that analyzes and compares universities on the basis of grades earned by students, which could be used or considered by other reports to quantify university performance.

Effect of Compression Garments on Physiological Responses After Uphill Running

Limited practical recommendations related to wearing compression garments for athletes can be drawn from the literature at the present time. We aimed to identify the effects of compression garments on physiological and perceptual measures of performance and recovery after uphill running with different pressure and distributions of applied compression. In a random, double blinded study, 10 train...

Finite element analysis of fatigue damage in passenger-car diesel engine cylinder head under cyclic thermo-mechanical loadings

In this article, the thermo-mechanical fatigue lifetime of the cylinder head of a passenger-car diesel engine has been estimated. At the first stage, stress and strain distributions in the cylinder head have been calculated using the two-layer visco-plastic model, available in the ABAQUS software. The calibration of the model was performed, using correlating of simulated hysteresis curves and l...
