objectives: the study was aimed to determine the effectiveness of verbal self-instruction training on math problem-solving of intellectually disabled boy students in tehran provinces. methods: the study was a semi-experimental with pre-test and post-test design with control group. thirty intellectually disabled boy students were selected randomly through cluster sampling method from 9th grade s...

INTRODUCTION More than half of the world's disasters occur in the Asia-Pacific region. A simulation-based exercise to teach healthcare workers prehospital triage, tagging, and treatment methods was used to link disaster management theory to practice with a student-centered, hands-on educational activity. Various strategies for teaching disaster health education have been advocated, and best-pra...

When/(z) is given by a known power series expansion, it is possible to construct the power series expansion for/(z; p) = e~p:f(z). We define popl to be the value of p for which the expansion for/(z; p) converges most rapidly. When/(z) is an entire function of order 1, we show that pofl is uniquely defined and may be characterized in terms of the set of singularities z, = I/o, of an associated f...

OBJECTIVE To describe the training undertaken by pharmacists employed in a pharmacist-led information technology-based intervention study to reduce medication errors in primary care (PINCER Trial), evaluate pharmacists' assessment of the training, and the time implications of undertaking the training. METHODS Six pharmacists received training, which included training on root cause analysis an...

This is the Technical Report version of the 2013 POPL submission by the same title. It includes the POPL version verbatim, followed by an appendix containing omitted contents and proofs.

We offer a new metric for big data platforms, COST, or the Configuration that Outperforms a Single Thread. The COST of a given platform for a given problem is the hardware configuration required before the platform outperforms a competent single-threaded implementation. COST weighs a system’s scalability against the overheads introduced by the system, and indicates the actual performance gains ...

s This paper is based on the author’s talk at 1997 Taniguchi Symposium “Integrable Systems and Algebraic Geometry”. We consider an approach to the theory of Frobenius manifolds based on the geometry of flat pencils of contravariant metrics. It is shown that, under certain homogeneity assumptions, these two objects are identical. The flat pencils of contravariant metrics on a manifold M appear n...

This paper deals with the old and classical problem of determining necessary conditions for the overconstrained mobility of some mechanical device. Methods from algebraic geometry have already been used to investigate these mobility conditions, and we propose some tools specifically developed for the so–called n–pods. In particular, we focus on the conditions which are imposed on an n–pod by th...

Social and psychological training as a kind of active can be used in the specialists social sphere. It is aimed at increasing culture communication which one components professional activity workers security (specialties such 231 «Social work», 232 security»). The author outlines factors efficient conduct work, basic principles sessions’ formations, general rules participants’ behavior. article...
