with regard to the importance of instantaneous peak discharge estimation for watershed management study, and due to the lack of and unqualified climatic and hydrologic data for estimation and measurement in countries such as iran, researchers were obliged to establish a link between constant parameters (geomorphologic) and variables (hydrologic) to present models with minimum dependence on clim...

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common condition in children and can result in serious neurocognitive, cardiovascular and metabolic complications if left untreated. Recently, the association between OSAS and maxillofacial malformation, and malocclusion has attracted much attention. Rapid maxillary expansion (RME), a commonly used orthodontic procedure to achieve a skeletal expansio...

The Caenorhabditis elegans oocyte is a highly amenable system for forward and reverse genetic analysis of receptor-mediated endocytosis. We describe the use of transgenic strains expressing a vitellogenin::green fluorescent protein (YP170::GFP) fusion to monitor yolk endocytosis by the C. elegans oocyte in vivo. This YP170::GFP reporter was used to assay the functions of C. elegans predicted pr...

BACKGROUND The authors conducted a literature review to evaluate immediate transverse, anteroposterior, and vertical dental and skeletal changes produced by rapid maxillary expansion (RME). TYPES OF STUDIES REVIEWED The authors reviewed clinical trials that assessed immediate dental and/or skeletal changes after RME using cephalometric analysis, model casts or both. No surgical or other simul...

Related to the recent issues on the environmental sustainability, the attention and importance of Reusable Medical Equipment (RME) has increased rapidly. As a part of System Redesign Project funded by Veterans Engineering Resource Center (VERC), “Design Evaluation for Reusable Medical Equipment” project has been conducted. This research project aims to develop new RME design assessment and eval...

This study pointed out that word problem solving instruction in Realistic Math Education (RME) may have insufficient attention for teaching semantic-linguistic skills to handle semantic complexities in word problems. We investigated the performances of 80 sixth grade students, classified as successful and less successful word problem solvers based on a standardized mathematics test from the RME...

Successfully solving mathematical word problems requires both mental representation skills and reading comprehension skills. In Realistic Math Education (RME), however, students primarily learn to apply the first of these skills (i.e., representational skills) in the context of word problem solving. Given this, it seems legitimate to assume that students from a RME curriculum experience difficu...

This paper presents an implementation for the efficient execution of Theory Model Elimination (TME), TME by Linearizing Completion, and Restart Model Elimination (RME) on top of the automated theorem prover SETHEO. These calculi allow for theory reasoning using a Model Elimination based theorem prover. They are described in detail and their major properties are shown. Then, a detailed descripti...

In implementing Ethnomathematics-Realistic Mathematics Education (Ethno-RME), teaching mathematics correctly is needed through learning practices in and activities. This pedagogical activity requires guidance the form of a curriculum. So, teacher can determine ethnomathematics context as starting point using Ethno-RME. Therefore, this paper focuses on constructing an Ethno-RME curriculum to gui...

Responsible management education (RME) has become a common initiative in the educational discourse of business schools worldwide. However, little is known about how (non-)engagement with RME past influenced way organised today. We examine this one pioneering countries RME, Finland, using extensive qualitative research materials. Our results suggest that been embedded authenticity-driven change ...
