A teamwork survey was conducted at Oakland University, Rochester, MI, in 533 engineering and computer science courses over a two-year period. Of the 6435 student respondents, 4349 (68%) reported working teams. Relative to students who only worked individually, teams were significantly more likely agree that course had achieved its stated learning objectives (p < 0.001). Regression analysis showed roughly one-quarter of variance belief about whether met could be explained by four factors: 1)...
Noise in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) is gaining increasing attention as a significant source of stress and fatigue for nursing staff. Extensive research indicates that hospital noise also has negative impact on patients. The objective this study was to analyze variations experienced by both staff patients, gain better understanding levels frequencies observed ICU settings over extended (week-long) durations, implement low cost behavior modification program reduce noise. results our indicate...
The profound benefits of altruism in modern society are self-evident. However, the potential hurtful aspects have gone largely unrecognized scientific inquiry. This is despite fact that virtually all forms associated with tradeoffs--some enormous importance and sensitivity--and notwithstanding examples pathologies abound. Presented here mechanistic bases ramifications pathological altruism, is, which attempts to promote welfare others instead result unanticipated harm. A basic conceptual...
We have implemented several innovative uses of computers and computer networks to develop a new pedagogy for the delivery university engineering courses. These are creating efficiencies in learning process, students found this interactive environment be significant improvement upon traditional course. Student performance retention, as well faculty productivity, increased teaching environment.
The ability to empathize with others is a highly desirable characteristic for the delivery of quality care by nurses. Little research available that explores empathy characteristics students who are attracted nursing. purpose this study explore whether empathizing and systemizing important factors underlying students' self-selection into continuing success in nursing programs importance these tends differ men women choose as career. A descriptive correlative design was used 1,872...
There is a pressing need to increase the rigor of research in life and biomedical sciences. To address this issue, we propose that communities 'rigor champions' be established campaign for reforms culture has led shortcomings rigor. These champions would also assist development adoption comprehensive educational platform teach principles rigorous science researchers at all career stages.
Learning How to Learn, a MOOC from UC San Diego, is one of Coursera’s most successful offerings; in its first year, nearly million learners enrolled the course. As result high student satisfaction levels (4.55 on 5-point Likert scale) and persistence strong interest course, it worth examining course’s dynamics more closely an effort tease out sources popularity. For this paper, we used students’ responses open-ended question develop list potentially important “stickiness” features. A subset...
Abstract This study demonstrated a globally and locally relevant MOOC design model. By redeveloping culturally responsive based on the course “Learning How to Learn (LHTL)” Coursera, researchers created sister meet local needs of Chinese learners. In this three-year design-based research study, four major iterations were conducted: (1) analyze prototype contents for MOOCs learners; (2 3) redevelop, pilot, field-test, improve new MOOC; (4) develop research-supported instructional practice...
FEM software was used to determine the feasibility of characterizing various types atherosclerotic lesions in vivo. This accomplished by simulating two electrodes as being attached an angioplasty balloon coronary artery. The on "balloon" touched and measured simulated complex impedance type III, IV, Va Vb lesions, defined American Heart Association (AHA). Additionally, effect changes morphology determined for lesions. simulations showed that layer closest had most significant impedance. As a...

Abstract An easily manufactured, reduced size, symmetrical printed meander dipole antenna for remote keyless entry (RKE) automotive applications in the 315 MHz frequency band is proposed. The efficiency and directionality of this estimated compared with an asymmetrical antenna. Numerical experimental results are presented. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Polynomial expressions for the speed of sound as a function pressure 68 different organic liquids are presented in tabular form. (The form subset those discussed companion paper: Ultrasonic parameters absolute hydrostatic pressure. I. A review data liquids.) The polynomial based upon experimental results reported by many researchers. For some common liquids, such benzene, hexane, ethanol, and carbon tetrachloride, five researchers reported. These sometimes vary widely—far more than would be...
