We present the construction of a continuous time stochastic process which has moments that satisfy an exact scaling relation, including odd order moments. It is based on a natural extension of the MRW construction described in [3]. This allows us to propose a continuous time model for the price of a financial asset that reflects most major stylized facts observed on real data, including asymmet...

BACKGROUND Health care professions faculty/practitioners/students are at risk for stress and burnout, impacting well-being, and optimal patient care. AIMS We conducted a unique intervention: an interprofessional, experiential, skills-based workshop (IESW) combining two approaches: mind-body medicine skills and interactive reflective writing (RW) fostering self-awareness, self-discovery, refle...

Writing is a way for students to develop and use their critical thinking skills as well as to demonstrate learning. The links below provide ways that writing can be used both informally and formally throughout the college curriculum and include specific methods for handling all aspects of the writing process from assignment-making to responding and grading. The final link for faculty is a mega-...

Patterns on YBa2Cu3O6.87 films, laser written in O2 or N2 atmospheres, and with various writing power densities and scanning speeds, have been studied by Raman scattering. For laser writing in O2 at atmospheric pressure, with low power density and fast scanning speed, it is found systematically that the oxygen content of YBa2Cu3Ox can be reduced. Only when the writing power density is high and ...

Understanding how best to support immature writers in the development of their understanding of the writing process is an important concern for researchers and teachers. Social technologies have become key features of leisure and work place writing, yet knowledge about how to design educational settings that take full advantage of the affordances of web 2.0 technologies to support early writing...

I recommend the rule “if in doubt use the present tense”. Higham (1998), [1], §4.29 The present tense works well for scientific writing. The eternal truths we present in an article should all be in the present tense: instead of “experiments have shown that”, prefer “experiments show that”. The present tense helps make more active writing. Write derivations in the present tense: not the past ten...

BACKGROUND To facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration and to make connections between patients' diseases and their social/cultural contexts, the study examined whether the use of heterogeneous cluster grouping in reflective writing for medical humanities literature acquisition could have positive effects on medical university students in terms of empathy, critical thinking, and reflective wr...

This study examined the effects of cognitive task complexity increase on the complexity, accuracy, and fluency (CAF) as well as the temporal distribution of the cognitive and metacognitive processes involved in computer-mediated L2 written production. To this end, the study employed a between-subjects experimental design with 85 EFL learners from a language learning institute in Iran. Participa...
