In Higher Education (HE), an ongoing and incompletely understood achievement gap in degree classification has been identified between white and Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) students. BME students have been found to achieve less well than their white counterparts, even when initial A Level grades are the same. This paper examines a related issue, which has received scant attention; ethnicity ...

This paper utilizes corruption data from a laboratory experiment in order to examine the effectiveness of perceptions as valid empirical measures. Somewhat ironically, we find that perception measures are most useful in exactly those situations where they disagree with their objective counterparts. Our results indicate that perception-based measures may actually be preferable to the use of fact...

Australian Initial Teacher Education (ITE) has long been marred by instability, scrutiny and high academic workloads. University wide workforce changes the proliferation of online education require ongoing consideration as these factors have potential to both enrich ITE exacerbate existing issues. As subsect ITE, preservice primary science faces unique hurdles establish student-centred, authent...

This paper is about a 2%-D animation system, termed RUFIAS @om Rubbery dnimation System), that is utilized for the creation of computer animation sequences which have the look and feel of traditional hand-drawn animation productions. RUFIAS provides a user interface where various basic methods of animation specijication are provided, of which an approximated dynamic motion Specification techniq...

Interface tissue engineering (ITE) is a rapidly developing field that aims to fabricate biological tissue alternates with the goal of repairing or regenerating the functions of diseased or damaged zones at the interface of different tissue types (also called "interface tissues"). Notable examples of the interface tissues in the human body include ligament-to-bone, tendon-to-bone and cartilage-t...

Background: Teaching the practice of high-value care (HVC) is an increasingly important function of graduate medical education but best practices and long-term outcomes remain unknown. Objective: Whether a multimodal curriculum designed to address specific drivers of low-value care would affect resident attitudes, skills, and performance of HVC as tested by the Internal Medicine In-Training Exa...

The gas-lift technique comprises the injection of gas bubbles in vertical oil wells to increase production. It is based on a reduction of the tubing gravitational pressure gradient. Several fluid-flow phenomena influencing such vertical gas-liquid flows are discussed. These effects include the radial distribution of void fraction and of gas and liquid velocity, flow regime changes, and system s...
