Eiszler, C.F. (2002). College students' evaluations of teaching and grade inflation. Research in Higher Education, 43(4), 483-501. This study examined the relationship between grades and students’ composite ratings of teaching effectiveness over a 20-year period at a comprehensive, public university in the upper Midwest. Between the spring of 1980 and the fall of 1999, students in more than 37,...

Developing countries have embarked on the promotion of “ICT access for all” through subsidized Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), especially in underserviced areas of such countries. The main aim of the “ICT access for all” is to extend the communication services to the large areas of underserviced regions through subsidized communication services. In some instances, subsidies m...

within the effective-field theory with correlations (eft), a transverse random field spin-1 ising model on the simple cubic (z=6) lattice is studied. the phase diagrams, the behavior of critical points, transverse magnetization,  internal energy, magnetic specific heat are obtained numerically and discussed for different values of p the concentration of the random transverse field.

Despite the failure of naive analogs of the sum shuffle or the integral shuffle relations, we prove the existence of ‘shuffle’ relations for the multizeta values (for a general A, with a rational place at infinity) introduced [T04] by the author in the function field context. This makes the Fp-span of the multizeta values into an algebra. We effectively determine and prove all the Fp-coefficien...

background: monte carlo method (mc) has played an important role in design and optimization of medical linacs head and beam modeling. the purpose of this study was to compare photon beam features of two commercial linacs, varian 21ex and elekta sl-25 using mcnp4c mc code. materials and methods: the 6mv photon beams of varian 21ex and elekta sl-25 linacs were simulated based on manufacturers pro...
