Final year students are normally encountering high pressing in their study. In view of this fact, this research focuses on determining mental states condition of college student in final year based on the psycho-physiological information. The experiments were conducted in two times, i.e., priorand postgraduation seminar examination. The early results indicated that the student profile of mood s...

Currently, Pt-M bimetallic alloy nanoparticles like PtMo, PtRu, PtW and PtNi have shown promise for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) applications, due to their high electrocatalytic activity and CO tolerance on pristine carbon supports. Meanwhile, our previous research has indicated that Pt nanoparticles are significantly stabilized on boron-doped carbon supports. In this work, we u...

To understand the natural numbers, we must first understand the primes. Yet the behavior of the primes remains for the most part a mystery. For example, despite the efforts of many great mathematicians over hundreds of years, we still know very little about how the primes are distributed (scattered) throughout the natural numbers. The results and conjectures pertaining to the distribution of th...

I will introduce some important concepts in probability theory: sub sigma-algebras, conditioning and martingale processes. We will focus on their intuitive meaning with a lot of examples. 1. Basic concepts A probability space is a triple (Ω,F , P ). The elements of F are called events. A random variable is a function X : Ω→ R which is measurable in the sense that X−1A = {X ∈ A} = {ω ∈ Ω : X(ω) ...

In the spring of 2006, I taught a graduate student research seminar on usable security at Brigham Young University (BYU). It was likely one of the first graduate seminars devoted exclusively to the nascent field of usable security. The course consisted primarily of readings from Security and Usability, a collection of papers in the field that had recently been edited by Cranor and Garfinkel [2]...

BACKGROUND Active engagement in education improves learning outcomes. To enhance active participation in seminars, a student-centered course design was implemented and evaluated in terms of self-reported preparation, student motivation and exam scores. We hypothesized that small group learning with intensive peer interaction, using buzz-groups followed by plenary discussion, would motivate stud...

BACKGROUND Safe and effective diabetes management in the hospital is challenging. Inadequate knowledge has been identified by trainees as a key barrier. In this study we assess both the short-term and long-term impact of an interactive seminar on medical student knowledge and comfort with hospital diabetes management. METHODS An interactive seminar covering hospital diabetes management and ut...
