aim and background: “need assessment” is considered the process of evaluation of needs in a specific domain, which is fundamental for quality improvement of health education and research. as suicide is one the most important problem in public health, it would be expected that all psychiatric residents should have adequate knowledge and skills and play in different roles in this field. this stud...

EPIC's photonics technologies program manager Jérémy Picot-Clémente talks to Stephan Berlitz, head of Audi lighting development.

We have used an ab initio SCF molecular orbital approach in conjunction with the isodesmic reaction procedure to investigate anomalous energy effects in strained aza systems and some of their nitro derivatives. The introduction of nitrogens into strained molecular frameworks is found to confer added degrees of stability. In general this increases with the number of nitrogens in a series of simi...

We consider reconstruction algorithms using points tracked over a sequence of (at least three) images, to estimate the positions of the cameras (motion parameters), the 3D coordinates (structure parameters), and the calibration matrix of the cameras (calibration parameters). Many algorithms have been reported in literature, and there is a need to know how well they may perform. We show how the ...

The paper aims to analyse and propose e-textbooks and other learning objects (LOs) quality evaluation methodology, i.e., quality model, and simple and effective expert evaluation methods, thus improving solution of educational tasks using informatics engineering methods. Qualitative learning material is one of the main factors of learning quality. Therefore, evaluation of e-textbooks and other ...
