Conceptualizing professional development in mathematics: elements of a model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This theoretical paper discusses the concept of models for mathematics professional development. After examining the related literature, we propose a definition of this concept that includes four elements: goals, theories, contexts, and structure.

Isoperimetric inequalities for -Hessian equations

open access: yesAdvances in Nonlinear Analysis, 2012
We consider the homogeneous Dirichlet problem for a special -Hessian equation of sub-linear type in a -convex domain , . We study the comparison between the solution of this problem and the (radial) solution of the corresponding problem in a ball having ...

Some local--global phenomena in locally finite graphs

open access: yes, 2020
In this paper we present some results for a connected infinite graph $G$ with finite degrees where the properties of balls of small radii guarantee the existence of some Hamiltonian and connectivity properties of $G$. (For a vertex $w$ of a graph $G$ the

Mathematical misconceptions of a different kind: Women preservice teachers’ working theories of mathematics teaching [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Mathematical anxiety and confidence in women who are entering the elementary teaching field is a subject that has captured the interest of mathematics teacher educators. Previous research has revealed that women who pursue elementary teaching careers are

Microsphere Autolithography—A Scalable Approach for Arbitrary Patterning of Dielectric Spheres

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
MicroSphere Autolithography (µSAL) enables scalable fabrication of patchy particles with customizable surface motifs. Focusing light through dielectric microspheres creates well defined, tunable patches via a conformal poly(dopamine) photoresist. Nearly arbitrary surface patterns can be achieved, with the resolution set by the index contrast between ...
