Many studies report on the validation of instruments for facilitating feedback to clinical supervisors. There is mixed evidence whether evaluations lead to more effective teaching and higher ratings. We assessed changes in resident ratings after an evaluation and feedback session with their supervisors. Supervisors of three medical specialities were evaluated, using a validated instrument (EFFE...

A novel 2D hybrid with MoS(2) nanocrystals strongly coupled on nitrogen-enriched graphene (MoS(2)/NG(g-C(3)N(4))) is realized by mild temperature pyrolysis (550 °C) of a self-assembled precursor (MoS(3)/g-C(3)N(4)-H(+)/GO). With rich active sites, the boosted electronic conductivity and the coupled structure, MoS(2)/NG(g-C(3)N(4)) achieves superior lithium storage performance.

This study was conducted to determine whether the ingestion of mannan oligosaccharide (MOS, Bio-Mos) alters the immune response of nursery pigs challenged with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). A total of 64 pigs (3 wk old), free of PRRSV, were used in 2 separate but similar experiments conducted sequentially. Pigs were blocked by initial BW. Sex and ancestry were equ...

Background: Nutritional strategies targeting improvement of poultry performance and disease prevention are currently being developed and in this respect the dietary intake of spiced essential oils and pre-biotics in raising broilers is receiving attention. OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted to compare the effects of diet containing ginger essential oils (GEO) and mannan-oligosaccharide (MOS) ...

Cytoplasmic polyadenylation of specific mRNAs commonly is correlated with their translational activation during development. Here, we focus on links between cytoplasmic polyadenylation, translational activation and the control of meiotic maturation in Xenopus oocytes. We manipulate endogenous c-mos mRNA, which encodes a protein kinase that regulates meiotic maturation. We determined that transl...

This paper presents a new technique for accurately modeling uni-directional High-Voltage lightly-doped-drain MOS (HV MOS) devices by extending the bi-directional HV MOS model and adopting a new parameter extraction method. We have already reported on a SPICE model for bi-directional HV MOS devices based on BSIM3v3. However, if we apply this bi-directional HV MOS model and its parameter extracti...

This study investigated the participation of MAPK in the resumption of meiosis [germinal vesicle breakdown (GVB)] in oocytes and cumulus expansion using oocyte-cumulus cell complexes (OCC) from Mos-null mice (Mos(tm1Ev)/Mos(tm1Ev), hereafter Mos(-/-)). MAPK activity was not detected in Mos(-/-) oocytes whether they matured in vivo or in vitro, with or without gonadotropin stimulation. Therefore...

PL spectra from bilayer MoS 2 could not be tuned by electric fi eld at room temperature owing to its indirect band gap manner, [ 7 ] which makes the exciton and trion dynamics in bilayer MoS 2 still underexplored. In this paper, we demonstrate the valley control of exciton and trion dynamics in bilayer MoS 2 , via the comodulations by both temperature and electric fi eld. We found that as tempe...
