We present the proceedings of the lectures given at the 2008 Helmholtz International Summer School Heavy Quark Physics at the Bogoliubov Laboratory of Theoretical Physics in Dubna. In two lectures we present recent results from the existing B-factories experiments, Belle and BaBar. The discussed topics include short phenomenological motivation, experimental methods and results on B meson oscill...

These notes are under construction. They constitute a combination of what I have said in the lectures, what I will say in future lectures, and what I will not say due to time constraints. Some sections are very brief, and this is generally because they are not yet written. Some of the “problems and exercises” describe things that I am actually going to write down in detail in the text. This is ...

INTRODUCTION Note taking while attending a PPT requires high activity of memory and writing process which ultimately leads to what is called "death by power point" referring to boredom and fatigue.  To overcome this we planned to evaluate the impact of utilisation of uncompleted handouts given prior to PPT presentations. METHODS Final year MBBS students were divided in 2 batches, batch A and ...

background :nursing education can maintain its dynamic quality when it moves toward innovation and modern methods of teaching and learning. therefore, teachers are required to employ up to date methods in their teaching plans. this study evaluated the effects of e-learning, lectures, and role playing on nursing students’ learning, retention, and satisfaction.   methods : sixty nursing students ...

Retrieval practice improves retention of information on later tests. A question remains: When should retrieval occur during learning-interspersed throughout study or at the end of each study period? In a lab experiment, an online experiment, and a classroom study, we aimed to determine the ideal placement (interspersed vs. at-the-end) of retrieval practice questions. In the lab experiment, 64 s...

BACKGROUND The seven categories of the Stanford Faculty Development Program (SFDP) represent a framework for planning and assessing medical teaching. Nevertheless, so far there is no specific evaluation tool for large-group lectures that is based on these categories. This paper reports the development and psychometric validation of a short German evaluation tool for large-group lectures in medi...

This volume is founded on a short course of post-graduate lectures, delivered in Glasgow in 1890. It contains a short outline of the literature of the subject, and then gives illustrative cases of the principal groups of mediastinal growths. In considering the question of diagnosis, the author refers especially to the following useful points : 1. The development of fulness and nodular or glandu...
