Franklin BM, Xiang L, Collett JA, Rhoads MK, Osborn JL. Open problem-based instruction impacts understanding of physiological concepts differently in undergraduate students. Adv Physiol Educ 39: 327–334, 2015; doi:10.1152/advan.00082.2015.—Student populations are diverse such that different types of learners struggle with traditional didactic instruction. Problem-based learning has existed for ...

This is a presentation of a new system for invariant recognition of 2D objects with overlapping classes, that can not be effectively recognized with the traditional methods. The translation, scale and partial rotation invariant contour object description is transformed in a DCT spectrum space. The obtained frequency spectrums are decomposed into frequency bands in order to feed different BPG ne...

The present study draws on Scott's (2011) notion of the Re-Inventive Institution and explores how gym members make sense and give meaning to their exercise regime. Overall, it is argued that for many participants gym exercise is more than physical training; it is also training for life. Based on a thematic analysis of 32 semi-structured interviews it is argued that gym workout is a means to cre...

physical fitness is considered as a key component for optimal performance in most sports. the aim of this study was to investigate neuromuscular and functional adaptations to two different training methods. for this purpose, 14 male volunteers were divided randomly into two groups. group a (plyometric) trained with plyometric training and group b (combined) trained with traditional resistance t...

Student populations are diverse such that different types of learners struggle with traditional didactic instruction. Problem-based learning has existed for several decades, but there is still controversy regarding the optimal mode of instruction to ensure success at all levels of students' past achievement. The present study addressed this problem by dividing students into the following three ...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to examine the quality in oncology registration trials for new drug application (NDA) or supplemental new drug application (sNDA) as extensions of the indications for use in Japan based on Good Clinical Practice (GCP) audit findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS We collected audit reports of on-site GCP inspections for registration trials in 383 NDAs or sNDAs that were re...
