A previously published classroom teaching method for helping students visualize and understand Michaelis-Menten kinetics (19) was used as an anticipatory set with high school and middle school science teachers in an Illinois Math and Science Partnership Program. As part of the activity, the teachers were asked to collect data by replicating the method and to analyze and report the data. All con...

The contributors to this special issue and the editorial staff of JCMC wish to dedicate the issue to the memory of one of its authors. Dr. Wei-Jen (Wayne) Fu passed away suddenly on August 19, 2012, between the completion of his article and its publication. Wayne Fu (Ph.D., Northwestern University, 2000) was Associate Professor at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. At age 42 he was ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the longitudinal effectiveness of the malleus to oval window stapedotomy technique among patients undergoing revision surgery when the incus is unavailable. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective, case series. METHODS Charts of 15 patients who underwent 17 malleus attachment stapedotomies performed by a single surgeon from 2000 to 2015 were reviewed. Surgery was ambulatory, trans...

It is common practice to evaluate fixed-event forecast revisions in macroeconomics by regressing current forecast revisions on one-period lagged forecast revisions. Under weakform (forecast) efficiency, the correlation between the current and one-period lagged revisions should be zero. The empirical findings in the literature suggest that the null hypothesis of zero correlation between the curr...

As part of our effort to design curriculum materials, we report on a systematic research method for improving materials based upon learning goals, and adaptability and usability. Our work is with an ongoing urban systemic initiative of a large public school district to reform science and mathematics education, and our science curriculum materials are consistent with constructivist ideas and add...

The ubiquity of parallel computing resources presents a pressing challenge to the entire computer science discipline. The thrust of this challenge is to find ways to better equip computer science students with skills to face an increasingly parallel world. Although there is general agreement that undergraduates should learn parallel computing concepts, there is debate about when parallel progra...

ences in benefit amount reflect the lower earnings of the Spanish-surnamed and the differences in size of family (as well as the application of the maximum limit on family benefits). The effect, of limited earnings is modified somewhat, however, by the fact, that the formula for determining the worker’s primary insurance amount (on which the worker’s benefits and those of his dependents are bas...

Gauging economic conditions in real time is challenging, in part because economic data are difficult to measure and subject to subsequent revision as more information becomes available. This article investigates the pattern and size of revisions to real gross domestic product (GDP) over the past decade or so. Revisions to early estimates of GDP can be large and, over the past 15 years, have ten...
