OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to characterize the relative strength of associations of learning environment perception with academic performance and with personal growth. METHODS In 2012-2014 second and third year students at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine completed a learning environment survey and personal growth scale. Hierarchical linear regression analysis was employed...

In this paper a sliding mode controller (SMC) is designed for a permanent magnet direct current (PMDC) motor to enhance the motor performance in the presence of unwanted uncertainties. Both the electrical and mechanical signals are used as the inputs to the SMC. The complete motor control system is simulated on a personal computer with different design parameters and desirable system performanc...

The basis for personal dosimetry performance testing in the United States is ANSI/HPS N13.11. Now in it's fourth edition, this standard has been in place since 1983. Testing under this standard is administered by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP), and accreditation of dosimetry processors under this program is required by U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) re...

BACKGROUND Personal digital assistants (PDAs) allow healthcare professionals to check for potential drug-drug interactions (DDIs) at the point of care, reducing the need to consult traditional references. However, PDAs can only be as effective as the software programs they use. OBJECTIVE To examine the ability of DDI software programs manufactured for Palm OS-compatible PDAs in detecting clin...

Abstract The Covid-19 pandemic has brought the world into a new era that demanded changes in various sectors, including management of salesforces retail stores. Due to pandemic, consumers’ habits have raised challenges for salesforce increase its salesforces’ personal motivation encourage optimal work behavior. This study aims identify impact performance and empowering leadership on constructin...

Computer task performance is an essential driver of end user productivity. Recent research indicates that computer self-efficacy (CSE) is an important determinant of computer task performance. Contrary to the significant interest in understanding the role of CSE in predicting computer task performance, little attention has been given to understanding the role of personal goal (PG), which can be...

The idea to adopt massive arrays for personal radars applications is facing a rapid growth, thanks to the high scanning resolution achievable with the large number of antennas employed. In fact, such multi-antenna systems enable the possibility to detect and localize surrounding objects through an accurate beamforming procedure. In this paper we show a classical energy-detection approach for ta...
