Article Synopsis
- Modern technologies have integrated into education, making e-learning a core part of student-centered learning, but current methodologies for evaluating its effectiveness lack consistency and precision.
- This study analyzes the academic performance of 1160 students in a human anatomy course delivered both face-to-face and online, comparing exam scores and response rates for each learning type.
- Results show that while face-to-face instruction resulted in higher scores overall, lower-performing students fared better with e-learning, with the differences in performance being modest across groups.
The cost-effective synthesis of a series of metal propionate powders (copper, yttrium, barium, samarium, gadolinium, and ytterbium) is developed through single chemical reactions resulting in five novel crystalline forms. These complexes are valuable precursors for the preparation of epitaxial REBaCuO (REBCO) superconducting films (here, RE = Y, Sm, Gd, and Yb) through the innovative transient liquid-assisted growth (TLAG) process based on chemical solution deposition (CSD). TLAG-CSD shows impressive results with YBaCuO (YBCO), obtaining critical current densities of 2.

- Infective endocarditis is a bad infection that affects the heart's inner lining and valves.
- It can be really dangerous and has a high chance of causing death.
- This infection usually happens to people who have heart problems and come into contact with bacteria from injuries or risky activities.
Key Clinical Message: The presence of more than one genetic/genomic disorder is not uncommon. It is therefore essential to continuously consider new signs and symptoms over time. Administration of gene therapy could be extremely difficult in particular situations.

In this context, superconductivity is an appealing solution to enhance clean electrical energy provided that lower production costs can be attained. By implementation of chemical solution deposition techniques and high-throughput growth methods, low-cost nanostructured epitaxial cuprate superconductors are timely candidates.
