GOODNESS OF FIT OF THE ITEMS USED IN THE 2ND CYCLE OF EVALUATION AND ACCREDITATION OF MEDICAL SCHOOLS BY THE KOREA INSTITUTE OF MEDICAL EDUCATION AND EVALUATION BASED ON THE RASCH MODEL

Purpose Since 2004, the Korea Institute of Medical Education and Evaluation has been responsible for the evaluation and accreditation of medical schools in Korea.The 2nd cycle of evaluations was conducted from 2007 to 2011.The present study aimed at testing the goodness of fit of the items used in the 2nd cycle of evaluation and accreditation based

BackgroundIn breast cancers, only a minority of patients fully benefit from the different chemotherapy regimens currently in use.Identification of markers that could predict the response to a particular regimen would thus be critically important for patient care.In cell lines or animal models, tumor protein p53 (TP53) plays a critical role in modul

This work presents the concept of ternary blends of gasoline, ethanol and methanol (GEM) in which stoichiometric air to fuel ratio Safety Boots is controlled to 13.2, same as that of conventional binary E30 (Gasoline 70% + Ethanol 30% (v/v)) fuel blend.The formulated E30 equivalent ternary blends have approximately the same energy density, lower he

Abstract Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQAs) are among the most promising NISQ-era algorithms for harnessing quantum computing in diverse fields.However, the underlying optimization processes within these algorithms Winter Sports - Soft Goods - Baselayer usually deal with local minima and barren plateau problems, preventing them from scaling effi

Rotary Friction Welding (RFW) is a solid-state welding process that is becoming increasingly popular due to advantages such as low weld heat input, high production efficiency, ease of manufacture, and environmental friendliness.Rotary friction welding can weld materials that are difficult to fuse using fusion welding techniques.The main objective o
