Art Education through the Constituent Elements of Science Curriculum M. Entezaami  M. SeyfNaraaghi, Ph.D. E. Naaderi, Ph.D. Art education is emphasized within the elementary school curriculum, yet ways of implementing it are rather vague. Given that such an education would include the development of all senses, and improvements in esthetics, imagination, and creativity, on th...

Introduction. In order to educate any subject, needs and Lack of knowledge must be recognized. Family Planning is an essential subject for instructing to all university students, therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine educational needs of medical student about Emergency Contraception ( EC ). Methods. This descriptive study was performed on 102 female nursing midwifery, Health, an...

In robotics and video games, one often discretizes continuous terrain into a grid with blocked and unblocked grid cells and then uses path-planning algorithms to find a shortest path on the resulting grid graph. This path, however, is typically not a shortest path in the continuous terrain. In this overview article, we discuss a path-planning methodology for quickly finding paths in continuous ...

COVER Stylized comparison of the inner solar system (top) and Kepler-62 (bottom), a fi ve-planet system about 1200 light-years away. Like our solar system, Kepler-62 hosts two planets in its habitable zone (depicted in green), the region around a star where a planet could conceivably maintain liquid water on its surface. The special section beginning on page 565 summarizes what we currently kno...

recently in a prominent journal that the number of deaths talcing place in one year from vaccination exceed the number of deaths resulting from smallpox itself. Now, is such a statement true or not ? There are many people about to-day who have a vague idea that vaccination has been in some way discredited. This is especially so among the intellectuals who are readier to believe Mr. Bernard Shaw

We have recently introduced an any-space algorithm for exact inference in Bayesian networks, called Recursive Conditioning, RC, which allows one to trade space with time at increments of X-bytes, where X is the number of bytes needed to cache a floating point number. In this paper, we present three key extensions of RC. First, we modify the algorithm so it applies to more general factorizations...

Phagocytosis of particles by polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) 1 is accompanied by a burst of oxidative metabolic changes. These include increased oxygen consumption (1), hexose monophosphate shunt (HMS) activity (1), and hydrogen peroxide (H202) (2) and superoxide (02-) (3) production. Despite intensive investigation the mechanism by which this oxidative metabolism is stimulated during phagoc...
