Although the Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Equivalency Examination (FPGEE) is not intended to measure educational outcomes or institutional effectiveness, it may be a reliable and valid criterion to assess the quality or success of international pharmacy programs. This comprehensive review describes the evolution and historical milestones of the FPGEE, along with trends in structure, administration...

The problem of comparing several alternate sampling devices to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standard, or the comparison of several sampling devices among themselves, is considered. A test based on the OSHA criterion that states that "90% of the readings of the sampling device should be within +/- 25% of the readings obtained by the standard" is developed. Type I erro...

In this paper‎, ‎the existence and uniqueness of the ‎solution of a nonlinear fully fuzzy implicit integro-differential equation‎ ‎arising in the field of fluid mechanics is investigated. ‎First,‎ an equivalency lemma ‎is ‎presented ‎by‎ which the problem understudy ‎is ‎converted‎ to ‎the‎ two different forms of integral equation depending on the kind of differentiability of the solution. Then...

In this paper we introduce a sequential block iterative method and its simultaneous version with op-timal combination of weights (instead of convex combination) for solving convex feasibility problems.When the intersection of the given family of convex sets is nonempty, it is shown that any sequencegenerated by the given algorithms converges to a feasible point. Additionally for linear feasibil...

This study examined the reliability and interlist equivalency of two new recorded spoken word recognition measures, the Lexical Neighborhood Test (LNT) and the Multisyllabic Lexical Neighborhood Test (MLNT), and evaluated the effects of lexical difficulty on spoken word recognition by children with hearing loss . Participants were 16 children with prelingual, profound deafness who used a cochle...
