Given that educators increasingly have to integrate social and moral education within the general curriculum, this paper considers ways in which the visual arts may or may not be a useful resource for challenging the stereotypical preconceptions about gender and sexual identity held by many people in a post-industrial, intercultural society. Focusing on Tate Britain’s inaugural exhibition for t...

T he term “grade inflation” covers a multitude of phenomena, some of which are even alleged to be sins. Continuing increases in average grades have been widely documented in many universities over the last several decades (for example, Sabot and Wakeman-Linn, 1991; Johnson, 2003). Conversely, cases of grade deflation are rare and short-lived, although in some settings, such as first-year law co...

We prove two existence theorems for the integrodifferential equation of mixed type: x′(t) = f (t,x(t), t0k1(t,s)g(s,x(s))ds, ∫ a 0k2(t,s)h(s,x(s))ds), x(0) = x0, where in the first part of this paper f , g, h, x are functions with values in a Banach space E and integrals are taken in the sense of Henstock-Kurzweil (HK). In the second part f , g, h, x are weakly-weakly sequentially continuous fu...

in this paper deflection and free vibration of sandwich panel is studied. the core of sandwich panels is made of hexagonal honeycomb and faces are made of two different materials of carbon fiber reinforced plastic and k-aryl/epoxy covering. the governing equations are deduced from the first order sheer deformation theory (fsdt) and they are solved using generalized differential quadrature metho...
