The QCS Method
نویسنده
چکیده
During my early years at Plymouth State College, I encountered two clearly related problems: first, many students had apparently not done the assigned reading prior to class; and second, when I attempted to provoke class discussion, a relatively small percentage of students seemed willing to participate. Some means was needed to ensure that the material was read and to democratize class discussions.

Ja n 20 01 Electronic properties of ternary quasicrystals
The electronic properties of type II quasicrystals (QCs) in one dimension, namely ternary QCs which are generated by the cut-and-projection method, are analyzed. In particular, we present in detail the existence of a special kind of critical states called marginal critical states in these QCs. By the use of the exact real-space renormalization-group method, it is shown that the scaling properti...

The one-electron properties of type II quasicrystals (QCs) in one dimension, namely ternary QCs which are generated by the cut-and-projection method, are analyzed. In particular, we show in detail the presence of a special kind of critical states called marginal critical states in these QCs. By the use of a real-space renormalization-group method, it is shown that the scaling properties of marg...
متن کاملFast POCS based post-processing technique for HDTV
In this paper, we present a novel postprocessing technique based on the theory of the projection onto convex sets (POCS) in order to reduce the blocking artifacts in digital high definition television (HDTV) images. By detecting and eliminating the undesired high-frequency components, mainly caused by blocking artifacts, we propose a new smoothness constraint set (SCS) and its projection operat...
متن کاملValidation of the Quick Confusion Scale for mental status screening in the emergency department.
OBJECTIVE The Mini-Mental Status Exam (MMSE) is a commonly used assessment of cognitive status; however, it has been considered somewhat unwieldy for use in the emergency department (ED). An alternate test, the Quick Confusion Scale (QCS), has been compared against the MMSE in a single centre. We hypothesised that the QCS would strongly correlate with the MMSE in the ED, but could be administer...
متن کاملA Review of Transmission Electron Microscopy of Quasicrystals—How Are Atoms Arranged?
Quasicrystals (QCs) possess rotational symmetries forbidden in the conventional crystallography and lack translational symmetries. Their atoms are arranged in an ordered but non-periodic way. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was the right tool to discover such exotic materials and has always been a main technique in their studies since then. It provides the morphological and crystallograp...
متن کاملAn automatic method for CASP9 free modeling structure prediction assessment
MOTIVATION Manual inspection has been applied to and is well accepted for assessing critical assessment of protein structure prediction (CASP) free modeling (FM) category predictions over the years. Such manual assessment requires expertise and significant time investment, yet has the problems of being subjective and unable to differentiate models of similar quality. It is beneficial to incorpo...
