‎Here‎, ‎we investigate a conjecture posed by Amiri and Ariannejad claiming‎ ‎that if every maximal subfield of a division ring $D$ has trivial normalizer‎, ‎then $D$ is commutative‎. ‎Using Amitsur classification of‎ ‎finite subgroups of division rings‎, ‎it is essentially shown that if‎ ‎$D$ is finite dimensional over its center then it contains a maximal‎ ‎subfield with non-trivial normalize...

BACKGROUND An enriched environment for residents with dementia may have a positive effect on the rest-activity rhythm. A small scaled homelike special care unit might be such an enriched environment. The present study shows whether the rest-activity rhythm of residents with moderate to severe dementia responds positively to a transfer from a regular Special Care Unit (SCU) to a small scaled hom...

The Annual Bio-Ontologies meeting (http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/ stevens/meeting03/) has now been running for 6 consecutive years, as a special interest group (SIG) of the much larger ISMB conference. It met in Brisbane, Australia, this summer, the first time it was held outside North America or Europe. The bio-ontologies meeting is 1 day long and normally has around 100 attendees.

The aim of the current research was to examine pre—service, general and special education teachers attitudes to and knowledge of metalinguistics (awareness of language structure) in the process of learning to read. Effective teachers of reading, writing, and spelling need to understand the relationship between speech and print because these basic language processes are often deficient in cases ...

Students with disabilities have a difficult time making academic progress in the classroom. Depending on the type of disability, students need various modifications and support to assist with academic tasks. This literature review examines the effectiveness of the use of iPads to help improve achievement for students with disabilities. Both benefits and difficulties of using iPads in the classr...

Student Evaluations of Instruction (SEIs) from about 6000 sections over four years representing over 100,000 students at the college of business at a large public university are analyzed, to study the impact of non-instructional factors on student ratings. Administrative factors like semester, time of day, location, and instructor attributes like gender and rank are studied. The combined impact...

The cases tested.?The accompanying table gives the WR positive rate of a certain section, syphilitic suspects, of the civil population of Calcutta. It is by no means the positive rate for the mixed unselected population. The bloods for examination were received from general wards in hospitals and venereal clinics. The general wards predominated before the anti-venereal drive, towards the end of...
