BACKGROUND Establishing a strong link early on between preclinical coursework and the clinical context is necessary for students to be able to recognize the practical relevance of the curriculum during their preclinical anatomical courses and to transfer knowledge more easily. Our objective was to enhance the clinical relevance of a preclinical anatomy course for second-year medical students of...

We fully characterise the solvability of Rado equations inside linear combinations $a_{1}\U\oplus\dots\oplus a_{n}\U$ idempotent ultrafilters $\U\in\beta\Z$ by exploiting known relations between such and strings integers. This generalises a partial characterization previously obtained Mauro Di Nasso.

Let G be a group with identity e. Let R be a G-graded commutative ring and let M be a graded R-module. The graded classical prime spectrum Cl.Specg(M) is defined to be the set of all graded classical prime submodule of M. The Zariski topology on Cl.Specg(M); denoted by ϱg. In this paper we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for Cl.Specg(M) with the Zariski topology to be a Noetherian...

Ameliorative potential of antioxidants –vitamins C and E on blood profile of Clarias gariepinus fed diets contaminated with varied levels of fumonisin B1 (FB1) was evaluated. Fusarium cultured maize containing FB1 were used to formulate diets containing approximately 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5 mg FB1/kg constituting diets 2, 3, and 4, respectively and other nine diets constituting Diets 5 - 13 with the ...

‎In this paper‎, ‎some algebraic and geometrical properties of the rank$-k$ numerical hulls of normal matrices are investigated‎. ‎A characterization of normal matrices whose rank$-1$ numerical hulls are equal to their numerical range is given‎. ‎Moreover‎, ‎using the extreme points of the numerical range‎, ‎the higher rank numerical hulls of matrices of the form $A_1 oplus i A_2$‎, ‎where $A_1...

Epidemiological studies and animal trials have suggested that dietary antioxidants protect against atherosclerosis. To test this hypothesis, C57BL/6 mice were fed atherogenic diets supplemented with either vitamin E or butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). Three groups of 20 mice were fed for 15 weeks on diets containing 1% cholesterol and 0.5% cholic acid. The diet of two groups was supplemented wit...

We present observations of two bright M dwarfs (TOI-1634 and TOI-1685: $J=9.5-9.6$) hosting ultra-short period (USP) planets, identified by the TESS mission. The stars are similar in temperature, mass, radius ($T_\mathrm{eff}\,\approx\,3500$ K, $M_\star\,\approx\,0.45-0.46\,M_\odot$, $R_\star\approx 0.45-0.46\,R_\odot$), planets both super-Earth-sized ($1.25\,R_\oplus<R_p<2.0\,R_\oplus$). For s...

Many medical educators are experimenting with innovative ways of E-learning. E-learning provides opportunities to students for self-directed learning in addition to other advantages. In this study, we designed and evaluated an interactive E-learning module in pharmacology for effectiveness, acceptability and feasibility, with the aim of promoting active learning in this fact-filled subject. A q...
