Abstract Today there is a significant demand for improving the quality of educational process in higher education institutions, particular, through improvement principles and methods teaching various sciences by enhancing practical skills students graduate students. The implementation this task particularly difficult context distance learning (for full-time part-time) blended learning. This stu...

A concise and versatile approach toward the preparation of the cyanthiwigin family of cyathane natural products is described. By leveraging a unique double asymmetric catalytic alkylation procedure it is possible to quickly establish two of the most critical stereocenters of the cyanthiwigin framework with high levels of selectivity and expediency. The synthetic route additionally employs both ...

The statement, “Results of most non-traditional authorship attribution studies are not universally accepted as definitive,” is explicated. A variety of problems in these studies are listed and discussed: studies governed by expediency; a lack of competent research; flawed statistical techniques; corrupted primary data; lack of expertise in allied fields; a dilettantish approach; inadequate trea...

Interaction between agents representing real world actors in computational models must be informed by knowledge about interaction processes occurring amongst real world actors. We propose the use of endorsements to implement the cognitive processes underlying the decisions that lead to interactions among agents. The main advantage in applying the idea of endorsements lies in the fact that they ...
