Nowadays, computer graphics course is usually taught with traditional teaching methodologies and tools, which has its own limitations. In this paper, we present an online interactive computer graphics tutorial. The practical part of the tutorial consists of example programs on the computer in which the users can test the theoretical concepts and generate their own experiences. The integration o...

We show that for every n there are two simple curves on the torus intersecting at least n times without the two curves folding or spiralling with respect to each other. On the other hand, two simple curves in a punctured plane that intersect at least n times (and do not create any empty bigons) must either form a spiral of depth d or a fold of width cn/(d + 1) − 1, where c only depends on the n...

The prevalence and characteristics of mentorship among junior faculty in clinician-scientist and clinician-educator tracks were evaluated. Comprehensive improvement strategies are needed.

In this paper, a course design and implementation experience on agile software development methodologies is described. When selecting the lecture materials for this course, the introduction to the methodologies is closely combined with many industry case studies to make lecture materials easy and interesting for students. In addition, active and cooperative learning method is implemented throug...

Introduction. Undoubtedly Knowing the students views and characteristics have deep effect on certifying the subject and all other educational activities. Then this study is an analytic, descriptive and cross sectional survey to certify the students educational needs in their own definitions and how to improve it. Methods. The samples were 155 students of different medical groups that had pass...

The water cycle in the western United States changed dramatically over glacial cycles. In the past 20,000 years, higher precipitation caused desert lakes to form which have since dried out. Higher glacial precipitation has been hypothesized to result from a southward shift of Pacific winter storm tracks. We compared Pacific Ocean data to lake levels from the interior west and found that Great B...

The objective of this paper is to identify the incentives and barriers to marriage among cohabiting women, especially disadvantaged mothers who are targets of welfare reform. We use the newly released cohabitation data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (1979-2000), which tracks the partners of cohabiting women across survey waves. Our results support several conclusions. First, coh...

This study was designed to investigate the effects of three countermeasures--landscaping, building a fence and prohibitive signs--on the frequency of trespassing, which in this case means crossing the track at places where it is forbidden. At each location the official route was no more than 300 m away. The main results showed that the effect of each countermeasure on the frequency of trespassi...

We present a course given at the “Maîtrise d’informatique” level at Université of Rennes 1. This course studies relations between logic and computation, among which proofsearching as computing, hence a first course in logic programming. This course is not limited to logic programming, but it is the only one that the student will get on logic programming. Though this course focuses on theoretica...
