Introduction: To address the need for greater standardization within the field of electrodiagnostic medicine, the Normative Data Task Force (NDTF) was formed to identify nerve conduction studies (NCS) in the literature, evaluate them using consensus-based methodological criteria derived by the NDTF, and identify those suitable as a resource for NCS metrics. Methods: A comprehensive literature s...

Figure 1: (a) Images of hydroxyapatite (HA) coated Mg (Left) and uncoated Mg (Right) for degradation study. (b) Degradation of HA coated Mg (Left) compared to uncoated Mg (Right) after 12 days of incubation in PBS. Uncoated Mg showed larger area of degradation and more degradation products (white particles surround the sample). (c,d) SEM image and EDX analysis of HA coated Mg after 12 days of d...

A series of bismuth based superconducting materials doped with galliumBi Pb Sr Ca Cu Ga O 1.7 0.4 2 2 3-x x y (x = 0.0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08 and 0.10) was synthesized by Simple solid-state reaction method. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, EDX analysis and electrical resistivity and ac magnetic susceptibility measurements. All the samples consist of both low-T (2212) and Hi...

Online courses are popular in the United States. In particular, the Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) platform such as Coursera and edX are used to deliver online courses exclusively. Although these courses often do not provide any college level credits or degrees, scores of people have already joined the courses and finished them. Many schools are struggling to incorporate online modalities ...

Learners participating in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) have a wide range of backgrounds and motivations. Many MOOC learners enroll in the courses to take a brief look; only a few go through the entire content, and even fewer are able to eventually obtain a certificate. We discovered this phenomenon after having examined 92 courses on both xuetangX and edX platforms. More specifically, we ...
