Education plays a pivotal role in promoting gender equality and Early Childhood (ECE) is fast emerging as new frontier to achieve this. The Nordic countries lead the pack advancing ECE, setting an exemplary standard for other nations. On one hand, they have included mainstreaming their policies regulations regarding ECE. By using Gender Equality Planning certificates, ensure that integral ECE a...

Although the motivation for ECI was an accepted body of research demonstrating the long-term benefits of particular kinds of ECE programs, the way in which the initiative was intended to operate was novel in two important ways. First, ECI aimed to create a countywide system of high-quality ECE services rather than just a small-scale pilot program. Second, it aimed to put the various ECE program...

Many educators and technology developers advocate the use of gamification in educational environments. However, it is important to evaluate the applicability and value of gaming elements to the environments in which they are being implemented. Early Childhood Education (ECE) presents a unique educational context framed by national curricula and philosophical approaches that influence the adopti...

In this study, a new, innovative design and structural analysis of trailer sliding rear underrun protection device (RUPD) that complied with UN ECE R58.03 regulation has been made. The technical norms determined by United Nations (UN) were considered the key factor for parameters. Finite Element Analyses (FEA) carried out considering strength test standards specified in regulation. Stress distr...

This set of notes explains the process that Prof. Jones used to develop the FSM for the lab. The lab simulates a vending machine mechanism for automatically identifying coins (dimes and quarters only), tracking the amount of money entered by the user, accepting or rejecting coins, and emitting a signal when a total of 35 cents has been accepted. In the lab, we will only drive a light with the “...

BACKGROUND--Endothelin (ET)-1 is generated from big ET-1 by endothelin-converting enzyme (ECE). Plasma big ET-1 and ET-1 levels are strongly related to survival in patents with congestive heart failure (CHF). Because selective enzymatic processing of ET-1 formation appears to be an important therapeutic target for CHF, we investigated the acute effects of a specific ECE inhibitor on cardiorenal...

Surveillance of wild bird populations for avian influenza viruses (AIV) contributes to our understanding of AIV evolution and ecology. Both real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RRT-PCR) and virus isolation in embryonating chicken eggs (ECE) are standard methods for detecting AIV in swab samples from wild birds, but AIV detection rates are higher with RRT-PCR than isolation...

ECE), 2 HOD Dept. of ECE, 3 Assistant Professor ECE __________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: In this paper, we have implemented the process of error detection, repairing of errors and routing protocols implementation in MANET (mobile ad hoc network) using dynamic threshold techn...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the diagnostic performance of preoperative multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI) as a predictor of extracapsular extension (ECE) and unfavorable Gleason score (GS) in patients with intermediate and high-risk prostate cancer (PCa). MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with clinically localized PCa who underwent radical prostatectomy (RP) and had preoperative mp-M...
