This is best possible in the sense that we cannot additionally require the entire bipartite subgraph of G between S and T to have large minimum degree. Applying the result of Mader that every graph of sufficiently large average degree contains a subdivision of a given graph H to the graph G[S] obtained by the above theorem, it immediately follows that every highly connected graph G contains a “...

background: the number of failed courses and semesters in students are indicatorsof their performance. these amounts have zero inflated (zi) distributions. using zi poisson and negative binomial distributions we can model these count data to find the associated factors and estimate the parameters. this study aims at to investigate the important factors related to the educational performance of ...

This course intends to examine the developments in Europe and U. S. since 1919 until today. The new political structure after 1918 will be considered from the point of global developments. World involvement of the U. S. in Europe affairs, Cold War Sovietisation of Eastern Europe and the Third World countries are also to be discussed. The relations among the industrial and non-industrial politic...

Psychology researchers often avoid running participants from subject pools at the end of the semester because they are "unmotivated". We suggest that the end of the semester induces a situational prevention focus (i.e., sensitive to losses) unlike the beginning of the semester, which may induce a situational promotion focus (i.e., sensitive to gains). In two experiments, we presented participan...

There are many techniques available to approach reflectance-based shape recovery in appropriate fields of application [4]. For instance, three-source photometric stereo method may be used for generating height maps of a human face, a human hand, etc. As an example, the following figures show three input images generated by using Lambertian reflectance maps (Figure 1). Figure 2 shows the shape r...

BACKGROUND The teaching of trauma in medical schools faces many educational and logistic challenges. Issues on what to teach, how to teach, when to teach, who will teach and whether medical students with insufficient exposure to clinical medicine can benefit from a trauma course are unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS A well-designed one day intensive trauma course concentrating on the primary sur...

INTRODUCTION Precursor tests may be useful educational tools in dentistry to enhance learning among Oral Hygiene students, but their application and possible effect on the subsequent performance of these students have not been studied. AIM To determine whether precursor tests, used as dental educational and formative assessment tools, influence the performance of undergraduate Oral Hygiene st...

The PERK-eIF2α branch of the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) mediates the transient shutdown of translation in response to rising levels of misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum. PERK and eIF2α activation are increasingly recognised in postmortem analyses of patients with neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, the tauopathies and prion disorders. These are all cha...
