METHODS The authors designed a survey instrument to examine the effect of involvement in a student-run free clinic project (SRFCP) on medical student self-reported attitudes toward the underserved and interest in primary care. From 2001-2010, first-and second-year medical students in an introductory service-learning elective course rated each of 15 statements on a seven-point Likert scale pre/p...

One of the most important aspects in asset allocation problems is the assumption concerning the probability distribution of asset returns. Financial managers generally suppose normal distribution, even if extreme realizations usually have an higher frequency than in the Gaussian case. We propose a Monte Carlo simulation approach in order to solve an asset allocation problem with shortfall const...

Student government may move to actively support the DREAM Act, a United States Senate bill th a t would open the doors of higher education to children of illegal immigrants, based on a discussion Tuesday at the Council of Representatives (COR). “M aris an d I a re lean in g toward taking this up,” student body president Liz Brown said at the beginning of the discussion of whether or not the stu...

We investigate the Student-t process as an alternative to the Gaussian process as a nonparametric prior over functions. We derive closed form expressions for the marginal likelihood and predictive distribution of a Student-t process, by integrating away an inverse Wishart process prior over the covariance kernel of a Gaussian process model. We show surprising equivalences between different hier...

background: the main purpose of medical education system is that the students achieve the highest levels of learning and professional competency. training of skilled physicians is based on three domains including educational planning, environment, and psychological situation. methods: our study is a descriptive-analysis, conducted on 119 students including medical, nursing and midwifery groups ...

In this paper the role of Student Modeling in Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) and the implications of this research area for User Modeling are explored from an Artificial Intell igence perspective. User Modeling is a central activity for Adaptive Interactive Systems. We are particularly c o n c e r n e d w i t h s y s t e m s p r o v i d i n g consultation, presentation, help, training and t...
