Recall that a homeomorphism is a continuous bijection with a continuous inverse. Definition 1.1. Let U be a domain in R. Consider vector fields X,Y ∈ X(U) with flows F , F : I × U → U , where I is an open interval in R such that 0 ∈ I. The dynamics of X and Y is said to be C-equivalent if there exists a homeomorphism φ : U → U with the following property: for all t ∈ I there exists a t′ ∈ I suc...

BACKGROUND The acquisition of new knowledge is a primary goal of residency training. Retrieving and retaining influential primary and secondary medical literature can be challenging for house officers. We set out to investigate the effect of a Universal Serial Bus (USB) drive loaded with landmark scientific articles on housestaff education in a pilot study. METHODS We created a USB syllabus t...
