Theorem 1 If there is an assignment 0 < xi < 1 satisfying for every i: Pr[Ai] ≤ xi ∏ j|Aj∈Γ(Ai) (1− xj) then the probability that no event Ai happens is at least ∏m i=1(1− xi) > 0. Observe that if the events were independent, the probability that no bad event happens would have been exactly ∏m i=1(1−Pr[Ai]). Hence in a sense, replacing the Pr[Ai] values by the larger xi values is the penalty pa...

PE teaching score is a direct reflection of the quality of teaching, and the statistic analysis of the grade is an important part of the physical teaching process. Teachers can draw their own teaching effectiveness and know how students are getting along with study, through the analysis of the results, which make exams truly serving the quality education. How to do teaching analysis better and ...

An approach is presented for clinicians to address methylation defects through recognition of specific physical phenotypes found on the physical exam. Current research evidence is reviewed in support of the close relationship between methyl donor status, inherited genetic polymorphisms, and tissue shape and symmetry. A functional model of methylation-related genetic diseases and their correspon...

BACKGROUND A good physical exam is necessary to help pediatricians make the correct diagnosis and can save unnecessary imaging or invasive procedures. Distraction by medical clowns may create the optimal conditions for a proper physical examination. METHODS Children aged 2-6 years who required physical examination in the pediatric emergency department were recruited and randomly assigned to o...

Background Fifty percent of infertility involves a male factor. The evaluation begins with a history, physical exam and semen analysis x 2. The history should include questions about exposure to gonad toxins. The differential diagnosis of no ejaculate includes; retrograde ejaculation, failure of ejaculation (rare), failure of emission and psychogenic. Evaluation of absence of the vas deferens w...

Listeners have a remarkable ability to localize and identify sound sources in reverberant environments. The term "precedence effect" (PE; also known as the "Haas effect," "law of the first wavefront," and "echo suppression") refers to a group of auditory phenomena that is thought to be related to this ability. Traditionally, three measures have been used to quantify the PE: (1) Fusion: at short...

UNLABELLED This study aims to investigate how teachers' motivation to teach is related to different teaching styles. A hundred and seventy six physical education teachers from five European countries participated in the study. Teachers' motivation was measured using an instrument developed by Roth et al., 2007 based on the Self-Determination Theory (Deci and Ryan, 1985) which was tested for sui...
