Gopalan C, Klann MC. The effect of flipped teaching combined with modified team-based learning on student performance in physiology. Adv Physiol Educ 41: 363–367, 2017; doi:10.1152/ advan.00179.2016.—Flipped classroom is a hybrid educational format that shifts guided teaching out of class, thus allowing class time for student-centered learning. Although this innovative teaching format is gainin...

Using the Stickelberger-Swan theorem, the parity of the number of irreducible factors of a self-reciprocal even-degree polynomial over a finite field will be hereby characterized. It will be shown that in the case of binary fields such a characterization can be presented in terms of the exponents of the monomials of the self-reciprocal polynomial.

Let Hm(z) be a sequence of polynomials whose generating function ∑∞ m=0 Hm(z)t m is the reciprocal of a bivariate polynomial D(t, z). We show that in the three cases D(t, z) = 1 + B(z)t + A(z)t, D(t, z) = 1 + B(z)t + A(z)t and D(t, z) = 1 + B(z)t + A(z)t, where A(z) and B(z) are any polynomials in z with complex coefficients, the roots of Hm(z) lie on a portion of a real algebraic curve whose e...

Many applications give rise to structured, in particular T-palindromic, matrix polynomials. In order to solve a polynomial eigenvalue problem P (λ)x = 0, where P (λ) is a T-palindromic matrix polynomial, it is convenient to use palindromic linearizations to ensure that the symmetries in the eigenvalues, elementary divisors, and minimal indices of P (λ) due to the palindromicity are preserved. I...

In this paper, the exact formulae for the generalized degree distance, degree distance and reciprocal degree distance of strong product of a connected and the complete multipartite graph with partite sets of sizes m0, m1, . . . , mr&minus1 are obtained. Using the results obtained here, the formulae for the degree distance and reciprocal degree distance of the closed and open fence graphs are co...

Human teaching is a social interaction that supports reciprocal and dynamical feedback between the teacher and the student. The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is a region of particular interest due to its demonstrated role in social interaction. In the present study, we evaluated the PFC activity simultaneously in two individuals playing the role of a teacher and student in a video game teaching-learn...
