Outline: The key objective of this project is to develop instructionally designed e-learning modules based on patient case studies, that integrate Pathology, Anatomy and Radiology courseware to enhance the reflective practice and interdisciplinary/cross-disciplinary learning. By the end of their studies, the students’ professional discipline influences what is known and valued, while the releva...

On the morning of Oct. 5, President Bush and his education secretary, Margaret Spellings, paid a visit, along with camera crews from CNN and Fox News, to Friendship-Woodridge Elementary and Middle Campus, a charter public school in Washington. The president dropped in on two classrooms, where he asked the students, almost all of whom were African-American and poor, if they were planning to go t...

Therefore, a...

Introduction: Urolithiasis is rare in developed countries. Staghorn calculi are a type of upper urinary tract stone that involves the renal pelvis and extends into at least two calyces. Although all types of urinary stones can potentially form staghorn calculi, approximately 75% are composed of a struvite matrix and are generally associated with urinary tract infection caused by urea -splitting...

The Salar de Uyuni, a salt pan located in the Bolivian Andes, was subject to hydrogeological and hydrochemical investigations between June and September 2009. During a drilling and sampling campaign halite cores were gained from different bore holes with depths between 2 and 12 m at two locations in the north eastern and the central part of the Salar (named SLT-01 and SLT-03, respectively). Bri...

The metabolic fate of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) fragment 4–10 (4–10) was evaluated following incorporation of a nonradioactive I-tag and with selective detection of I at m/z 127 by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). I has all the advantages of radioactive I as a metabolite tracer and, together with its detection in the femtogram range, has led to a successful metabo...

[12] W. F. Punch, et al, " A genetic algorithm approach to design of advanced composite material structures " , MSU Reference paper, 1993. 18 coded into the genome. A branch-and-bound method was considered, but rejected as too expensive. Also, a left-to-right march was considered. Perhaps one of these approaches are actually worth attempting. Different parallel structures could be attempted. As...
