Chronic traumatic encephalopathy is a form of taupathy, which is a progressive degenerative disease found in people who have suffered a severe blow to the head. According to Brandon E. Gavett, a Ph. D writing a research paper on the effects of CTE,chronic traumatic encephalopathy is mainly found in professional competing in American football and it can also affect high school players who have played for a mere few years. Chronic traumatic encephalopathy was first recognized in the 1920’s as a disease that developed in boxers, but as the decades went by...

...of assigned readings by writing concise summaries that identify the author’s main point (thesis) and supporting ideas, paraphrasing and quoting key words and phrases when necessary to avoid plagiarism they require considerable thought to write – it is easy to get them wrong and create a learning strait jacket. Learners will identify the shape of text (e.g. introduction, body, and conclusion) by reading non-fiction essays and articles. Description of activity and assessment: Since the intent of the unit is to assess writing standards, I know that they needed to provide a well-written product. In this case, I would still provide them with some choice. Additionally, the standards I chose had to do with evidence, and so they needed to do research, cite evidence, and make sure that it aligned to their ideas in their written product, a common, standards-aligned rubric that would be used to assess all the products to ensure that all students were meeting the same outcomes. Activity 4 Duration: 15 – 20 minutes Language: I may assign my learners one of the following projects or ask them to choose a project to complete individually or in a group of...

...A Framework for Research and Curriculum Development in Undergraduate Mathematics Education Mark Asiala Purdue University W. Lafayette, Indiana Anne Brown Indiana University South Bend South Bend, Indiana David J. DeVries Georgia College Milledgeville, Georgia Ed Dubinsky Purdue University W. Lafayette, Indiana David Mathews Central Michigan University Mt. Pleasant, Michigan Karen Thomas University of Wisconsin-Platteville Platteville, Wisconsin c November 4, 1997 Abstract Over the past several years, a community of researchers has been using and re ning a particular framework for research and curriculum development in undergraduate mathematics education. The purpose of this paper is to share the results of this work with the mathematics education community at large by describing the current version of the framework and giving some examples of its application. Our framework utilizes qualitative methods for research and is based on a very speci c theoretical perspective that is being developed through attempts to understand the ideas of Piaget concerning re ective abstraction and reconstruct them in the context of college level mathematics. Our approach has three components. It begins with an initial theoretical analysis of what it means to understand a concept and how that understanding can be constructed by the learner. This leads to the design of an instructional treatment that focuses directly on trying to get students to make the constructions called for by the analysis....

...they can be seen, often can': be tried out before they are bought. Underjitanding the degree of a product's intangibility can affect hoth sales and postsales follow-up strategies. While services are less able to be tested in advance than goods, the intangible factors in both types of products are important for convincing prospective customers to buy. Sellers of services, however, face special problems in making customers aware of thi; benefits they are receiving. The author considers the intangible factors present in all products and also advises producers of services about how best to hold on to their customers. Mr. Levitt is the Edward W. Carter Professor of Business Administration and head of the marketing area at the Harvard Business School. He has written nearly two dozen articles for HBR, including the well-known "Marketing Myopia" {published in i960 and reprinted as an HBR Classic in September-October 1975) and "Marketing When Things Change" [November-December 1977). //lustration hy ]im Kingston. Distinguishing between companies according to whether they market services or goods has only limited utility. A more useful way to make the same distinction is to change the words we use. Instead of speaking of services and goods, we should speak of intangibles and umgibles. Everybody sells intangibles in tbe marketplace, no matter wbat is produced in tbe factory. Tbe usefulness of the distinction becomes apparent when we consider the question of how the marketing of intangibles...

INTRODUCTION The logical view of data has been an important issue in recent years. Three major data models have been proposed: the network model [2, 3, 71, the relational model [S), and the entity set model [25]. These models have their own strengths and weaknesses. The network model provides a more natural view of data by separating entities and relationships (to a certain extent), but its capability to achieve data independence has been challenged [S]. The relational model is based on relational theory and can achieve a high degree of data independence, but it may lose some important semantic information about the real world [12, 15, 231. The entity set model, which is based on set...

...GRADUATE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS STANFORD UNIVERSITY CASE NUMBER: EC-16 MAY 2000 HP E-SERVICES.SOLUTIONS The concept behind e-services is there’s a particular task, asset, or capability that you want to gain access to, that now can be made available to you over the Net, because it’s now being created as an Internet service. ––Linda Lazor, Director of Operations, ESS, Hewlett-Packard How does any large company reinvent itself? Can a company with a past have a future? I mean that’s basically the question that we’re posing because a lot of people claim that anyone who has a past does not have a future in this world. ––Nick Earle, President, ESS, Hewlett-Packard In early April 2000, Nick Earle sat in his cube on the upper level of Building 44 of the HewlettPackard (HP) campus in Cupertino, California. He wore a wireless telephone headset, which allowed him the freedom to jump up and wander about his team’s open cubes as he fielded calls from potential business partners. Earle, age 42, was President and Chief Evangelist of the 90person E-Services.Solutions (ESS) group. The group had grown out of a task force he had put together more than a year earlier. Asked to create an Internet marketing strategy, he and several other “frustrated radicals” created a plan which ultimately led to the formation of the ESS group. ESS now held the mandate to develop an Internet strategy and framework for all of HP. Earle and his team faced tough challenges. They had pulled together some great technologies...
