We present evidence that female researchers have 7.1 percentage points lower probability of being accepted into the largest national research support program in Uruguay compared to males. They also have lower research productivity than their male counterparts. Differences in observable characteristics explain 4.9 of the 7.1 percentage points gap. We show that the gender gap is wider at the high...

The Wiener index of a graph Gis defined as W(G) =1/2[Sum(d(i,j)] over all pair of elements of V(G), where V (G) is the set of vertices of G and d(i, j) is the distance between vertices i and j. In this paper, we give an algorithm by GAP program that can be compute the Wiener index for any graph also we compute the Wiener index of HAC5C7[p, q] and HAC5C6C7[p, q] nanotubes by this program.

[This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Gender in Physics.] This study of achievement differences, as reflected by course grades, on a third-semester electromagnetism course at a Swedish research university was motivated by instructor concerns about gender inequalities. Quantitative analysis showed a gender gap in course grades between female and male students for the period of fall 20...

BACKGROUND Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is one of the most important research contents in bioinformatics. A number of MSA programs have emerged. The accuracy of MSA programs highly depends on the parameters setting, mainly including gap open penalties (GOP), gap extension penalties (GEP) and substitution matrix (SM). This research tries to obtain the optimal GOP, GEP and SM rather than MAF...

BACKGROUND In 2009, the Get With The Guidelines-Stroke (GWTG-Stroke) program offered additional recognition if hospitals performed well on certain stroke quality measures. We sought to determine whether quality of care for all hospitals participating in GWTG-Stroke improved with this expanded recognition program. METHODS AND RESULTS We examined hospital-level performance on 6 quality of care ...

intervention in early childhood development as one of the social determinants of health, is important for reducing social gap and inequity. in spite of increasingly developing intensive neonatal care wards and decreasing neonatal mortality rate, there is no follow up program in iran. this study was carreid out to design high risk infants follow up care program with the practical aim of creating...
