The purpose of the study was to investigate Finnish elementary and high school students' skills and practices of using the new information and communication technologies (ICT). Beliefs about the importance of ICT were also assessed. Five hundred and ®fteen students responded to a self-report questionnaire. The students attended 25 schools that used ICT intensively and represented all provinces ...

We study, in various special cases, total distributions on the product of a finite collection of finite probability spaces and, in particular, the question of when the probability distribution of each factor space is determined by the total

The word “researcher” is loaded and often confusing. It takes years to become one and to master all of its aspects. In this paper, we investigate whether or not this process of “becoming” can be catalyzed through education. The focus will be on wireless communications, though the same principle could very well be replicated to other disciplines.

The analog of Toupin's version of Saint-Venant's principle is proved for an isotropie, linear elastic mieropolar body of arbitrary length and of uniform cross-section which in the unstressed state is helical. That is, when such a body is loaded by self-equilibrated stresses and couple stresses at one end only, we show that the elastic strain energy stored in the part of the body beyond a certai...

language like other inventions was originated to serve human needs in different civilization. different language was created later. contextually the importance of translation from one language to another is not only to understand words; as the words are not the elements of translation. importance and base of translation lies in context to understand it. after getting the content, one should d...

we reported a 35 year old breast cancer patient who was referred to our nuclear medicine department for sentinel node mapping. she was planned to undergo mastectomy and lymphatic mapping. a dose of tc-99m phytate was injection in the peri-areolar region in an intra-dermal fashion. two hours post-injection no sentinel node was visible in the axilla. due to a high liver uptake, inadvertent intra-...

objectives: this study aimed to assess the effect of re-etching of desensitized dentin for five and 10 seconds on marginal microleakage of composite restorations. materials and methods: class v cavities (4x2x2mm) were prepared on the buccal surfaces of 64 third molars and randomly divided into four groups of 16. in the control group, single bond (sb) adhesive was applied after etching. in bb+sb...
