The tutorial presents state-of-the-art visualization techniques inspired by traditional technical and medical illustrations. Such techniques exploit the perception of the human visual system and provide effective visual abstractions to make the visualization clearly understandable. Visual emphasis and abstraction has been used for expressive presentation from prehistoric paintings to nowadays s...

An approximate version of the Standard uniformization technique is introduced for application to continuous-time Markov chains with unbounded jump rates. This technique is shown to be asymptotically exact and an error bound for the order of its accuracy is provided. An illustrative queueing application is included.

Data on the quality of a modified method for producing multiblocks from conventional blocks of paraffin wax embedded histological material are reported. Originally devised as a way of assessing antibodies for immunohistology, the technique is particularly suited to producing a set of reference and teaching material for use by trainee and senior pathologists.

There are several difficulties we face when showing our students key processes and techniques for software development. In this paper, issues related to teaching students how to manage risks in software projects are profiled. The concepts and process for implementing Software Development Impact Statements (SoDIS) are outlined; with its supporting CASE tool the “SoDIS Project Auditor” being desc...

fractional calculus has been used to model the physical and engineering processes that have found to be best described by fractional differential equations. for that reason, we need a reliable and efficient technique for the solution of fractional differential equations. the aim of this paper is to present an analytical approximation solution for linear and nonlinear multi-order fractional diff...

Intramuscular injection of vaccines and medications into the deltoid muscle is a long-established nursing practice. The deltoid muscle is the preferred site for intramuscular injections to adult clients in community settings, as it requires minimal, generally socially-acceptable, exposure of the client’s body, and is easily accessible to the professional administering the injection. Nursing stu...

Many successful recent approaches to developing innovative mathematics curricula and to conducting research on learning and teaching mathematics have used the construct of “learning trajectories” as a foundation. However, the developers and authors have interpreted and applied this idea in different ways, leading to a need for discussions of these variations and a search for clarifications and ...
