Collaborative Care or the Pinball Syndrome

Pinball Scattering

Classical and semiclassical periodic orbit expansions are applied to the dynamics of a point particle scattering elastically oo several disks in a plane. Fredholm determinants, zeta functions, and convergence of their cycle expansions are tested and applied to evaluation of classical escape rates and quantum resonances. The results demonstrate applicability of the Ruelle and Gutzwiller type per...

the effects of relatives’ participation in critical care delivery on nurses’ attitude to collaborative care

background and aim: in recent years, the importance of families’ active participation in care delivery has increased dramatically. nurses’ attitude is a key factor in the implementation and the success of programs which actively involve families in critical care delivery. the purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of relatives’ participation in critical care delivery on nurses’ attitu...

the effect of pushed output collaborative tasks on the writing skills of efl learners

there is less published research about how teachers in efl contexts respond to students who are relatively less mature and less competent l2 writers. while writing researchers have examined various issues concerning peer and teacher response in writing-oriented classes, little research has centered on the effect of collaborative tasks particularly dictogloss on writing skills. output collaborat...

Pinball billiards with dominated splitting

We study the dynamics of a type of nonconservative billiards where the ball is “kicked” by the wall giving a new impulse in the direction of the normal. For different types of billiard tables we study the existence of attractors with dominated splitting.
