BACKGROUND Universities are increasingly organizing international exchange programs to meet the requirements of growing globalisation in the field of health care. Analyses based on the programs' fundamental theoretical background are needed to confirm the learning value for participants. This study investigated the extent of sociocultural learning in an exchange program and how sociocultural le...

In the program controlled exchange technology college course, the signal transmission and voice data exchange for the communication system were usually achieved by utilizing the program controlled telephone exchange equipment choosing MT8980 series chip as the processing core which was limited to the numbers of communication channels and inflexibility of information interchange manners. A varie...

OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine whether introduction of a needle exchange program would be associated with increased crime rates. METHODS Trends in arrests were compared in program and nonprogram areas before and after introduction of a needle exchange program in Baltimore. Trends were modeled and compared via Poisson regression. RESULTS No significant differences in arrest trends...

In this paper, Exchange and Correlation energies of boron nitride with the formula of B12N12 are calculated by using the DFT methods with STO-3G, 6-31G AND 6-311G basis sets. The optimized structure and electronic properties calculations for the studied molecule have been performed using Gaussian 09 program. A mathematical equation of second grade was exploited for the correlation and exchange ...

in this paper, the structural properties of the b30n20 molecule have been investigated at b3lyp/6-31g (d) level of theory. the optimized structure and electronic properties calculations for the studiedmolecule have been performed using gaussian 03 program. a mathematical equation of third degreewas exploited for the correlation and exchange energy with the number of primitives. the naturalbondi...

In the aftermath of the Taper Tantrum episode, the Central Bank of Brazil announced a major program of intervention in foreign exchange markets on August 2013, with daily sales of FX futures settling in domestic currency swaps that provided insurance against a depreciation of the real. We analyze the effect of that program on the level and volatility of the exchange rate using a synthetic contr...
