How to Conduct Rigorous Evaluations of Mathematics and Science Partnerships (MSP) Projects

Session F2E Signals and Systems Using MATLAB: An Integrated Suite of Applications for Exploring and Teaching Media Signal Processing

Effectively teaching introductory media signal processing (MSP) to students requires a means of communicating complex concepts without advanced mathematics. At the Media Arts and Technology program at UCSB we are teaching graduate media arts students concepts of MSP. These students, while interested in learning how their digital tools work, have an incredibly tough time working through the mate...

A classification of hull operators in archimedean lattice-ordered groups with unit

The category, or class of algebras, in the title is denoted by $bf W$. A hull operator (ho) in $bf W$ is a reflection in the category consisting of $bf W$ objects with only essential embeddings as morphisms. The proper class of all of these is $bf hoW$. The bounded monocoreflection in $bf W$ is denoted $B$. We classify the ho's by their interaction with $B$ as follows. A ``word'' is a function ...

How behavioural science can contribute to health partnerships: the case of The Change Exchange

BACKGROUND Health partnerships often use health professional training to change practice with the aim of improving quality of care. Interventions to change practice can learn from behavioural science and focus not only on improving the competence and capability of health professionals but also their opportunity and motivation to make changes in practice. We describe a project that used behaviou...

Study of promoter CpG island hypermethylation of cyclindependent kinase inhibitor gene p21waf1/cip1 on some breast carcinoma cell lines

The p21 belongs to the CIP/KIP family of CDK inhibitors involved in cell cycle arrest at specific stages of the cell cycle progression. DNA methylation is the best studied epigenetic mark that have been evidently associated to chromatin condensation, and repression of gene transcription. The CpG island hypermethylation in promoter region of certain genes occurs in cancer cells and affects tumor...
