BACKGROUND Blended learning approaches, in which in-person and online course components are combined in a single course, are rapidly increasing in health sciences education. Evidence for the relative effectiveness of blended learning versus more traditional course approaches is mixed. METHOD The impact of a blended learning approach on student learning in a graduate-level public health course...

Research thrusts in silicon photonics are developing control operations using higher order waveguide modes for next generation high-bandwidth communication systems. In this context, devices allowing optical processing of multiple waveguide modes can reduce architecture complexity and enable flexible on-chip networks. We propose and demonstrate a hybrid resonator dually resonant at the 1st and 2...

dually flat finsler metrics form a special and valuable class of finsler metrics in finsler information geometry,which play a very important role in studying flat finsler information structure. in this paper, we prove that everylocally dually flat generalized randers metric with isotropic s-curvature is locally minkowskian.

Abstract We prove that an n-component fibered link L in S3 is strongly quasi-positive if and only $\tau(L)=g_3(L)+n-1$, where $g_3(L)$ denotes the Seifert genus τ Ozsváth–Szabó concordance invariant. also provide a table which contains list of some prime links with at most 9 crossings; we explicitly determine ones are their maximal self-linking number.

Higher order generalizations of Lie algebras have equivalently been conceived as Lie n-algebras, as L∞-algebras, or, dually, as quasi-free differential graded commutative algebras. Here we discuss morphisms and higher morphisms of Lie n-algebras, the construction of inner derivation Lie (n+1)-algebras, and the existence of short exact sequences of Lie (2n + 1)-algebras for every transgressive L...

Let X be a topological abelian group and H subgroup of X. We find conditions under which local quasi-convexity both X/H results in the same property for This is true instance if precompact, or metrizable dually embedded also either discrete bounded torsion. give some general principles point out errors we have found existing literature on this problem.
