Exploring the impacts of instructional modality in introductory statistics

Teaching Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract The academic experiences at colleges and universities were significantly disrupted by the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic with notable impacts on student learning, engagement, and success. We explore its effect on academic performance and student interaction at a mid‐sized public institution in the southeastern United States.

Sums of Pell/Lucas Polynomials and Fibonacci/Lucas Numbers

Mathematics, 2022
Seven infinite series involving two free variables and central binomial coefficients (in denominators) are explicitly evaluated in closed form. Several identities regarding Pell/Lucas polynomials and Fibonacci/Lucas numbers are presented as consequences.

Analysing policy success and failure in Australia: Pink batts and set‐top boxes

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines two Australian government programs from the Rudd/Gillard Labor government, the Home Insulation Program (HIP) and the Digital Switchover Household Assistance Scheme (HAS). Both became shibboleths of the Labor government's perceived waste and incompetence.

New Results on Negative-Indexed Pell Numbers via Matrix Methods

Cumhuriyet Science Journal
In this study, we investigate the Pell and Pell–Lucas numbers sequences and construct matrices whose elements are defined using negative indices of these sequences through Binet’s formula. Identities involving negative-indexed Pell and Pell–Lucas numbers

Fascinating Number Sequences from Fourth Order Difference Equation Via Quaternion Algebras

Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications, 2021
The balancing and Lucas-balancing numbers are solutions of second order recurrence relations. A linear combination of these numbers can also be obtained as solutions of a fourth order recurrence relation.

Going beyond academics: Individualised education plan priorities of parents of autistic children in Ireland

British Journal of Special Education, EarlyView.
Abstract As the numbers of autistic children attending school in Ireland increases, there is a growing reliance on specialised provision. Individual Education Plans (IEPs) are considered fundamental to this type of educational provision. However, emerging evidence from the Irish context reveals substantial shortcomings in the IEP process. Of particular

Floor and ceiling functions for Pell numbers [PDF]

Notes on Number Theory and Discrete Mathematics
The analytical study of the Pell number and the role of floor and ceiling functions into their computation is examined. Closed expressions of Pell numbers were initially derived using Binet's formula, followed by an asymptotic behavior study of the ...

A NOTE ON BIGAUSSIAN PELL AND PELL-LUCAS NUMBERS

Journal of Science and Arts, 2021
In this study, we define a new type of Pell and Pell-Lucas numbers which are called biGaussian Pell and biGaussian Pell-Lucas numbers. We also give the relationship between negabiGaussian Pell and Pell-Lucas numbers and bicomplex Pell and Pell-Lucas numbers.

From the predator to the prey: a case study of the vulnerability of Harmonia axyridis to aggressive competitors

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The level of aggressiveness of an individual is a factor that shapes intraguild predation (IGP) interactions. In Nabis americoferus, high aggressiveness leads to an increase in attack rate and IGP against Harmonia axyridis. Moreover, the absence of extraguild prey seems to exacerbate IGP. In docile N.

Agroecology and Transformative Adaptation to Climate Change

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines transformative adaptation to climate change through the EFICAS Project (Eco‐Friendly Intensification and Climate‐resilient Agricultural Systems) implemented across 12 upland communities in northern Laos from 2014 to 2020.
