The purpose of this paper is to identify the factors that influence the decision to select a programming language to teach students enrolled in a graduate level course in education. The paper illustrates the experience of two degree programs: First, the master degree of business education (M.Ed.) at Eberly College of Business and Information Technology – Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP)...

Angular momentum loss (AML) mechanisms and dynamical evolution owing to magnetic braking and gravitational radiation in relativistic binary stars (RBS) are studied with use of physical parameters collected from the literature. We have calculated and compared AML time scales for the RBS with non-degenerate components and double degenerate (DD) systems. c Copyright owned by the author(s) under th...

In bacteria, the canonical mechanism of translational repression by small RNAs (sRNAs) involves sRNA-mRNA base pairing that occludes the ribosome binding site (RBS), directly preventing translation. In this mechanism, the sRNA is the direct regulator, while the RNA chaperone Hfq plays a supporting role by stabilizing the sRNA. There are a few examples where the sRNA does not directly interfere ...

The validity of fluctuation dissipation relations in an aging system is studied in a colloidal glass during the transition from a fluid-like to a solid-like state. The evolution of the rheological and electrical properties is analyzed in the range 1Hz − 40Hz. It is found that at the beginning of the transition the fluctuation dissipation relation is strongly violated in electrical measurements....

Members of the genus Parachironomus Lenz known from China and Japan are revised, and a key to their male adults is given. Parachironomuspoyangensis sp. n. is described in this life stage. Parachironomusfrequens (Johannsen) and Parachironomusmonochromus (van der Wulp) are recorded from China for the first time, thus are redescribed from Chinese specimens. Parachironomuskamaabeus Sasa & Tanaka an...

The characteristics of a new high performance implanter ("SWIFT") manufactured by Applied Materials include high accuracy implantation angle control, minimal energy spread [and uniformity and repeatability of dose [<0.5%] at various beam incident angles up to 60 degrees from normal. The latter is achieved using beam current monitoring equipment designed to measure absolute dose. It should be me...

Despite recent advances achieved by application of high-performance computing methods and novel algorithmic techniques to maximum likelihood (ML)-based inference programs, the major computational bottleneck still consists in the computation of bootstrap support values. Conducting a probably insufficient number of 100 bootstrap (BS) analyses with current ML programs on large datasets-either with...

Fossil specimens of the exclusively oceanic calcareous nannoplankton were found only in the upper 200 m of the Cape Roberts Project 3 (CRP-3) cores. These assemblages are depauperate and sporadic in occurrence. The majority of the assemblages contain fewer than 4 species, indicating a severe palaeoecological restriction. The clear domination of these assemblages by reticulofenestrid species, co...
