The need for evidence based teaching has become an important ideology for nurse educators who are frequently encouraged to expand their teaching strategies based on recent advances in technology and student learning styles. Traditional lecture is often preferred by students, yet the literature encourages case study methodology for the development of critical thinking. A pilot study was conducte...

Many studies have documented the performance decrements associated with driver distractions; however, few have examined drivers' awareness of these distraction effects. The current study measured how well-calibrated drivers are with respect to performance decrements from distracting tasks. In this test track study, 40 younger and older drivers completed a series of tasks on a hand-held or hands...

In this paper a completion theorem for cone metric spaces and a completion theorem for cone normed spaces are proved. The completion spaces are defined by means of an equivalence relation obtained by convergence via the scalar norm of the Banach space E.

Unlike the uniform completion, the Dedekind completion of a vector lattice is not functorial. In order to repair the lack of functoriality of Dedekind completions, we enrich the signature of vector lattices with a proximity relation, thus arriving at the category pdv of proximity Dedekind vector lattices. We prove that the Dedekind completion induces a functor from the category bav of bounded a...

Partial metrics are generalised metrics with non-zero self-distances. We slightly generalise Matthews' original definition of partial metrics, yielding a notion of weak partial metric. After considering weak partial metric spaces in general, we introduce a weak partial metric on the poset of formal balls of a metric space. This weak partial metric can be used to construct the completion of clas...

The molecular structure of closo-9,12-(SH)2-1,2-C2B10H10 has been determined by the concerted use of quantum chemical calculations and gas electron diffraction (GED). For the purposes of GED, the architecture of the carbaborane cage was simplified to allow it to have C2v symmetry, while the positioning of the thiol groups means that the molecule had overall C1 symmetry. The accuracy of the expe...
