The patient is at the center of clinical medicine. In order to effectively teach clinical skills a teacher must learn to involve patients in the educational process. It is through this process that learners acquire the skills of observation, communication, examination and professionalism. Despite the importance of teaching with the patient present, many clinical teachers are hesitant to teach a...

In recent years, column stores (or C-stores for short) have emerged as a novel approach to deal with read-mostly data warehousing applications. Experimental evidence suggests that, for certain types of queries, the new features of C-stores result in orders of magnitude improvement over traditional relational engines. At the same time, some C-store proponents argue that C-stores are fundamentall...

Since the primary education age the man knew through philosophy, a working tool for the resolution of these problems. The projection of technologies gave well thanks to the design, calculation, planning, the strategy of decision and the realization itself of the finished product. With the contribution of the cybernetic tools and automation allows us to define and build methodologies as powerful...

The current science of neuroplasticity shows us “a phenomenon where different stimuli lead to an increase or decrease in the number of brain cells and remodeling of synapses,” says Rudraprosad Chakraborty, M.D., D.P.M., senior resident at the Ranchi Institute of Neuropsychiatry and Allied Sciences. “Neuroplasticity research has established, beyond doubt, that instead of being a static cell mass...

Technological innovations provide new possibilities to transform the teaching and learning process. It is important that teacher education programs not only add courses that teach about integrating technology, there must also be a movement for comprehensive programmatic change. The change should reflect a transformation in teaching methodology to influence teaching pedagogy. In this paper, a ra...

We have developed a new undergraduate programming course, which has so far been taught three times. This paper explains the motivations of the course, describes its content and organization, and reports on our experiences to date. The key innovations of the course are: an emphasis on design and the transition from problem to solution; separation of concepts into three programming paradigms; the...

Reversible debuggers and process replay have been developed at least since 1970. This vision enables one to execute backwards in time under a debugger. Two important problems in practice are that, first, current reversible debuggers are slow when reversing over long time periods, and, second, after building one reversible debugger, it is difficult to transfer that achievement to a new programmi...

The microprocessor is playing an increasingly important role in a wide range of engineering applications. Engineers from all disciplines benefit from learning the power of the microprocessor in solving engineering problems. Within colleges or schools of engineering, microprocessor courses are currently taught by electrical engineering departments and in some cases by mechanical engineering depa...

Over the past year and a half we have developed an innovative approach to the teaching of Physical Science, a general education course typically found in the cur-ricula of nearly every college and university. The new approach uses popular movies to illustrate the principles of physical science, analyzing individual scenes against the background of the fundamental physical laws. The impact of be...
