Mismatch between the progression of the mathematics course and the level of mathematics required to do advanced physics [PDF]
Whenever students appear to have trouble with mathematics in their physics courses, they either hate physics or fear it. The blame for this plight could be due to the structure of the mathematics and physics curricula or the incompetence of the teachers.

Multi‐center benchmarking of cervical spinal cord RF coils for 7 T MRI: A traveling spines study
Abstract Purpose The depth within the body, small diameter, long length, and varying tissue surrounding the spinal cord impose specific considerations when designing RF coils. The optimal coil configuration for 7 T cervical spinal cord MRI is unknown and currently there are very few coil options.

Neutron Monitor Based Incoming Flux Correction for Cosmic‐Ray Neutron Sensing of Environmental Water
Abstract Monitoring of near‐surface water content with cosmic‐ray neutrons is strongly dependent on heliospheric and geomagnetic conditions. Neutron monitor (NM) stations are commonly used as a reference for the incoming cosmic radiation to correct the hydrological neutron signal.

Distinguishing passive and driven trait evolution in the presence of boundaries
Abstract Quantifying the dynamics of macroevolutionary trends, such as changes in body size and complexity, is vital for understanding the processes that have shaped patterns of extant and extinct biodiversity. For example, whilst maximum body size may tend to increase within lineages (the Cope‐Depéret rule), it is still unclear whether such patterns ...

Social capital and economic growth: A meta‐analysis
Abstract This research provides a comprehensive, quantitative synthesis of the empirical literature on social capital and economic growth. It assesses 957 estimates from 83 studies. While our preferred estimate of the overall mean effect is close to zero and statistically insignificant, the main finding of our analysis is the substantial degree of ...

ABSTRACT This manuscript replicates and extends the work of Alonso et al. focusing on the effects of New Public Management practices—outsourcing and decentralization—on public sector size in terms of government expenditure and employment. The narrow replication confirms the original findings: outsourcing increases government expenditure, whereas ...
