The information contained in this teaching module and the accompanying PowerPoint slides is appropriate for use in a survey public health law course or seminar. The purpose of this lesson is two-fold. The first objective is to provide law students with an overview of the authority public health agencies have to set and enforce policies necessary to keep the population healthy. The second object...

Here I will review the theoretical results that have been obtained for spin glasses. I will concentrate my attention on the predictions of the mean field approach in three dimensional systems and on its numerical and experimental verifications.

CONTEXT Our cytology laboratory, like many others, is under pressure to improve quality and provide test results faster while decreasing costs. We sought to address these issues by introducing new technology and lean principles. OBJECTIVE To determine the combined impact of the FocalPoint Guided Screener (GS) Imaging System (BD Diagnostics-TriPath, Burlington, North Carolina) and lean manufac...

recent studies indicated that women face extra and invisible barriers beyond glass ceiling which is called glass cliff. this study researches the glass cliff phenomenon in iran whereby women are more likely than men to be placed in precarious leadership positions. qualitative grounded theory has been conducted to identify and categorized the antecedents and consequence of glass cliff. data has ...

Hand gestures are widely used in music education. The applied gesture set is well defined since the XIX. century and contains a small number of gestures only. We present a fast and robust method for recognizing solfège hand signs with smart glasses in egocentric perspective. Our method achieves above 95% classification rate and close to real time performance running on an unmodified Google Glas...

Uniaxial tensile tests were conducted on a Zr-based bulk metallic glass (BMG) with a nominal composition of Zr52.5Cu17.9Ni14.6Al10.0Ti5.0 (at.%). An infrared (IR) camera was utilized in situ during tensile testing to observe shear band evolution and fracture in the BMG. This unique visualization technique revealed that the temperature along the axis of shear band propagation constantly decrease...

On the basis of long simulations of a binary mixture of soft spheres just below the glass transition, we make an exploratory study of the activated processes that contribute to the dynamics. We concentrate on statistical measures of the size of the activated processes. 12/96 (a) ([email protected]) (b) ([email protected])

In two experiments subjects viewed slides depicting a crime and then received a narrative containing misleading information about some items in the slides. Recall instructions were manipulated on a first test to vary the probability that subjects would produce details from the narrative that conflicted with details from the slides. Two days later subjects returned and took a second cued recall ...

Optical glasses are optimized to provide excellent transmittance throughout the total visible range from 400 to 800 nm. Usually the transmittance range spreads also into the near UV and IR regions. As a general trend lowest refractive index glasses show high transmittance far down to short wavelengths in the UV. Going to higher index glasses the UV absorption edge moves closer to the visible ra...
