BACKGROUND Although studies in neonatal animals show that anesthetics have neurotoxic effects, relevant human evidence is limited. We examined whether children who had surgery during infancy showed deficits in academic achievement. METHODS We attempted to contact parents of 577 children who, during infancy, had one of three operations typically performed in otherwise healthy children. We comp...

The COVID-19 pandemic has substantially impacted higher education. unexpected move to online learning and support services have created many challenges. International students, who often are unfamiliar with the culture norms of American education, been particularly disadvantaged. Analyzing data received through an survey, researchers identified top five academic non-academic challenges faced by...

The European Workshop on Multi-Agent Systems (EUMAS) is an annual workshop that takes place at changing places in Europe and aims at encouraging and supporting activity in the research and development of multi-agent systems, in academic and industrial efforts. The workshop is primarily intended as a European forum at which researchers and those interested in activities relating to research in t...

  We consider the two well knownminimax and minisum single facility location problems in the plane which has been divided into two regions, and by a straight line. The two regions are measured by various norms . We focus on three special cases in which the regions and are measured by and norms, and block norms, two distinct block norms. Based on the properties of block norms then we use linear ...

in this paper, we introduce the notion of an action $y_x$as a generalization of the notion of a module,and the notion of a norm $vt: y_xto f$, where $f$ is a field and $vartriangle(xy)vartriangle(y') =$ $ vartriangle(y)vartriangle(xy')$ as well as the notion of fuzzy norm, where $vt: y_xto [0, 1]subseteq {bf r}$, with $bf r$  the set of all real numbers. a great many standard mappings on algebr...

This research analyzes the effectiveness of list experiment and crosswise model in measuring self-plagiarism data manipulation. Both methods were implemented a large-scale survey academics on social norms academic misconduct. As results lend little confidence about methods, researchers are best advised to avoid them or, at best, handle with care.
