Yaitu metode yang memiliki konsep menggabungkan konten pendidikan atau prinsip-prinsip belajar dengan bertujuan untuk menarik belajar. Dalam perancangan based l...

A group divisible design GDD(m,n; 3, λ1, λ2) is an ordered triple (V,G,B), where V is a m+ n-set of symbols, G is a partition of V into 2 sets of sizes m,n, each set being called group, and B is a collection of 3-subsets (called blocks) of V , such that each pair of symbols from the same group occurs in exactly λ1 blocks; and each pair of symbols from different groups occurs in exactly λ2 block...

We introduce, for block size 3, the problem of minimal enclosings of GDDs with u groups of size g into GDDs with u groups of size g + 1. We prove the necessary conditions are sufficient for the embedding of any GDD with group size 1, i.e., a BIBD(v, 3, λ), into a GDD with v groups of size 2. Minimal faithful enclosings of GDDs are given for group size 2 with any index into GDDs with group size ...

In this paper, a new form of weather derivative contract, namely the climatic zone-based growth degree-day (GDD) contract, is introduced. The objective is to increase the risk management efficiency in the agricultural sector of China and to reduce the model dimension of multi-regional temperature-based weather derivatives pricing. Since the proposed contract serves as a risk management tool for...

BACKGROUND Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is the current gold standard for the assessment of left ventricular (LV) function. Repeated breath-holds are needed for standard multi-slice 2D cine steady-state free precession sequences (M2D-SSFP). Accelerated single breath-hold techniques suffer from low contrast between blood pool and myocardium. In this study an intravascular contrast agen...

Chirped X-ray pulse compression is a promising approach for generating ultra-short free electron laser (XFEL) pulses. The design of compressors requires the careful control group delay dispersion (GDD), which plays critical role in achieving optimal compression. However, penetration crystals and multilayers can induce an extra GDD, may result over-compression or under-compression. In this study...

Genetic factors are responsible for up to 40% developmental disability cases, such as global developmental delay/intellectual disability (GDD/DI). The American and more recently the European guidelines on this group of diseases state that genetic testing is essential and should become a standardized diagnostic practice. The main arguments for the necessity of implementing such a practice are: (...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to report the prevalence, etiology, treatment and outcomes of neovascular glaucoma (NVG) in a tertiary care ophthalmic center in China. METHODS Medical records of patients diagnosed as NVG at the Wenzhou Medical University between 2003 and 2014 were reviewed. Success was defined as IOP between 6 and 21 mmHg without topical or systemic glaucoma medicatio...

We have studied the effects of gas density inhomogeneities on the escape of ionising Lyman continuum (Lyc) photons from Milky Way-type galaxies via 3D numerical simulations using the Monte Carlo radiative transfer code CRASH (Ciardi et al. 2001). To this aim a comparison between a smooth Gaussian distribution (GDD) and an inhomogeneous, fractal one (FDD) has been made with realistic assumptions...
