 The quality of an education system and the its teachers teaching are interconnected. Learning to teach meaningfully equitably is a core priority reforms. In this article we reflect on what process learning might mean for in system. We ask how extent initial teacher mitigates reduces inequities. particular, examine relationship between practice as component draws data examining nature stu...

The behavior of high-strength, fiber-reinforced concrete (HSFRC) beams under concentrated loads was affected by many different aspects, such as the type fibers used and volume percent fibers; nevertheless, primarily modifying shear span-to-depth ratio (a/d). In this experimental investigation, influence a/d ratios (ranging from 1.5 to 2.2) is investigated on response twelve high-strength contai...

In order to evaluate the shear strength and behavior of high-strength concrete beams without web reinforcing, eight continuous with cross sections 200 mm by 300 were cast tested failure. The ultimate load-carrying capability are presented. applicability Sudheer et al. equations ACI 318M-14 is examined. addition, effects compressive ( <ms...

Uterine cervical cancer is a leading cause of death from cancer in the female population worldwide. The aim of this study was to analyze survival of women with cervical cancer treated at the Santa Rita de Cássia Hospital/Women’s Association for Cancer Education and Control (HSRC/AFECC) in Espírito Santo State, Brazil, from 2000 to 2005 and to describe associated prognostic factors. This was a c...

A number of GPS augmentation systems have recently been developed for different applications in various regions. The manufacturers of these commercial services claim decimeter or near-decimeter level (1σ) horizontal positioning precision. These systems provide different types of correction and integrity signals to users via satellite links. Three services were studied: the NavCom Technology, In...
