Mathematics -- Study and teaching; Mathematics and literature
A major focus of many school districts in Connecticut is their students' results on the Connecticut Mastery Tests ("CMT"). As a result, many curricula include a review of concepts included in the test in advance of the test administration. However,...
A study was performed using a convenience sample of 90 students at a northeastern community college to determine gender differences of math anxiety and its effect on math avoidance. Four sections of an introductory English class were given a...
Abstract Organisms employ inducible defenses to prevent predation. This occurs when the organism recognizes an environmental cue that leads to the expression of the defensive trait. In marine systems this cue is often chemical in nature. Several...
Mathematics -- Study and teaching (Middle school) -- Connecticut -- Evaluation; Mathematical ability -- Testing
According to Hancock, Mattox, and Queen (2005) few studies have examined the effects of block scheduling at the middle level. Those that have shown success at the middle level have been unable to narrow down which specific aspects of block...
Acetaminophen is extensively used as an analgesic and antipyretic agent, but at high doses it causes liver damage. The major metabolic pathways of acetaminophen are glucuronidation and sulfation. In addition to these pathways, acetaminophen...
Although clinical competence comprises a combination of cognitive, psychomotor, and affective skills the changing healthcare environment now demands more efficient problem solving and decision-making skills. There exists a lack of research within...
Although historians have long been familiar with an accepted picture of Eva Peron, the elusive personality of Argentina's most dynamic female has undergone a significant evolution in the past fifty years. As an unknown actress, Eva Duarte was first...
Although many researchers have compared herpetofaunal assemblages over large geographical regions, comparisons on a microgeographic scale have been scarce. Thus, the goal of this study was to compare species diversity of Eleutherodactylus on a...
Although sports related injuries have shown a decline since the 1960's, the incidence of concussion seems to have risen. It is estimated that soccer players suffer significant concussion during their playing career. The resulting memory, cognitive...
Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia are the two most commone forms of dementia.
