An introduction to various topics in neutrino astrophysics is given for students with little prior exposure to this field. We explain neutrino production and propagation in stars, neutrino oscillations, and experimental searches for this effect. We also touch upon the cosmological role of neutrinos. A number of exercises is also included.

Inpatient consultations between generalists and specialty care providers represent a specific situation where poor information exchange between physicians could result in delayed diagnoses, inadequate follow-up, or duplication of services. Unfortunately, subspecialty trainees do not reeive formal instruction in how to provide an effective onsultation. As a result, consultation notes are variabl...

In order to improve the e ectiveness of sharing notes on peer learning, students need to improve the presentation of their handwritten notes, because carefully written notes are more accessible for other students and reduce irrelevant, careless mistakes. To facilitate improvements in note-taking, we considered a simple metric that determine how carefully the notes were written, and checked the ...

These are the notes for an April XX, 2006 lecture given (by me) at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute on the subject of period-index problems. There is, however, significantly more detail and ancillary material – I imagine the notes for the lecture itself as being written on paper with very ample margins, and these notes contain the marginalia. But these are still much more lectures n...

In our previous work, we developed AirTransNote, a student notesharing system that facilitates collaborative and interactive learning during regular lectures in conventional classrooms. Because taking notes on paper is a regular activity, our system does not impose an extra burden on students who share notes. However, in order to improve the effectiveness of sharing notes on peer learning, stud...

These notes were originally written in Fall 2010 to provide a very quick overview of some basic topics in modular forms, automorphic forms and automorphic representations. I have not made any significant changes since, or even proofread them completely (so some information may be outdated, and errors may remain), mostly just corrected some typos. If you spy any more errors, or have suggestions,...

sezgin argued that written documents were used from early on and although collectors transmitted their works orally but extracted hadiths from written sources. according to him the isnads contain the name of authors and the authoritative transmitters of the books. also he proposed a method based on isnad analysis to single out the sources of a collector and to reconstruct the early lost works. ...

BACKGROUND This study examines the effectiveness of Calibrated Peer Review (CPR), a Web-based writing development program, to teach and assess medical students' patient note-writing skills in a standardized fashion. METHOD At the end of the clerkship year, 67 medical students were divided into three groups, introduced to CPR, and instructed in patient note-writing. Students then wrote notes f...
