background and purpose: adequate evidence based medicine (ebm) knowledge and skills are required to provide up-to-date, high quality medical care to patients. unfortunately, achieving these skills and knowledge requires a prolonged learning process and constant exposure to ebm concepts. the adult learning theory holds the assumption that adults learn better in a problem based and collaborative ...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the characteristic cross-laminated timber (CLT) made from puspa (Schima wallichii) wood, coconut (Cocos nucifera) trunk, and their combination using a polyurethane (PU) adhesive. manufacturing CLT begins with characterization adhesive wood materials used in study. panels are dimensions 100 cm × 30 3.6 cm. laminate organized into three layers face/core/b...

Building with cross laminated timber (CLT) has gain increased interest over the last years, but in common to other wood-based building systems, inadequate low-frequency sound insulation is seen as a problem. This paper deals two methods improve of CLT panels, normally made from spruce: 1) heavy CLT, introducing compressed, i.e. densified, spruce well alternative wood species, and 2) elastic lay...
