When humans and robots work in close proximity, physical interaction is inevitable. Traditionally, robots treat physical interaction as a disturbance, and resume their original behavior after the interaction ends. In contrast, we argue that physical human interaction is informative: it is useful information about how the robot should be doing its task. We formalize learning from such interactio...

Modern retrieval systems are often driven by an underlying machine learning model. The goal of such systems is to identify and possibly rank the few most relevant items for a given query or context. Thus, such systems are typically evaluated using a ranking-based performance metric such as the area under the precision-recall curve, the Fβ score, precision at fixed recall, etc. Obviously, it is ...

Cellular Physiology 1. Define the distribution of solutes between the intracellular and extracellular compartments. 2. Define passive, active and secondary active transport across the cell membrane. 3. Define the equation and the variables that determine the flux of an uncharged solute by simple diffusion, i.e. Fick’s law of diffusion. 4. Define the role of membrane voltage, concentration gradi...

The purpose of the study was to determine public university South Dakota (USA) distance faculty perceptions regarding intended level of learning objectives for four selected modes of courses delivery. The four modes examined in this study included correspondence course, telecourses, Digital Dakota Network, and online Internet delivery. A survey questionnaire was used to collect data from all fa...

Introduction: Learners rely on dermatology electives to supplement their education. Our goal is determine whether adequately address the rotators’ learning objectives. Methods: A survey was distributed medical students and residents a elective assess specific objectives rotation satisfaction. Results: The had 50% response rate (n=36). 74.2% of respondents were (n=23) 25.8% (n=8). 57.1% all rota...

The formulation of learning objectives is considered an important task for teaching at all educational levels. However, teachers tend to trivialize and consider them as part administrative requirement. This study sought characterize the specific two school mathematics tasks posed by primary in training, differences proposed each task. By means a semantic questionnaire, proposals were collected,...
