Adv Physiol Educ 39: 327–334, 2015; doi:10.1152/advan.00082.2015.—Student populations are diverse such that different types of learners struggle with traditional didactic instruction. Problem-based learning has existed for ...

There are two fundamenta l issues that must be considered when purchas ing any standalone EPLI product. Preferably, these issues will be evaluated before the insurance broker goes to market and begins negotiating more specif ic cove rage terms. First, the policyholder should decide whether it wants a "working layer" program (i.e., a policy wi th re la t ive ly low l i m i t s c o m b i n e d w ...

We examine the stability of two interfering pro essors with servi e rates depending on the number of users present of ea h of the lasses and subje t to stati or dynami load balan ing. Su h models arise in several ontexts, espe ially in wireless networks, or multipro essing. In ase of stati load balan ing, we extend existing stability results by deriving Lyapunov fun tions that are onne ted to t...
