In 2014, developmental education became optional for many college students in Florida, regardless of prior academic preparation. This study investigated first-semester math course enrollment patterns for underprepared first-time-in-college (FTIC) students who would have previously been required to take developmental math and the passing rates for the students electing to take Intermediate Algebra (the most common gateway math course in Florida). We found that roughly a 3rd of underprepared students enrolled in developmental math, a 3rd enrolled in Intermediate Algebra, and roughly a 3rd enrolled in no math course whatsoever, with preparation level being related to enrollment pathways. Among those who enrolled in Intermediate Algebra, a small percentage also enrolled in developmental math in the same semester, either through a compressed or corequisite course, and FTIC students who received same-semester developmental support were more likely to pass Intermediate Algebra compared with similar underprepared students who took Intermediate Algebra without developmental support.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurocognitive disorder that deteriorates memory and impairs cognitive functions. Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is generally considered as an intermediate phase between normal cognitive aging and more severe conditions such as AD. Although not all individuals with MCI will develop AD, they are at an increased risk of developing AD.

Background: Transbronchial needle biopsy is crucial for diagnosing lung cancer, yet its efficacy depends on accurately localizing the target lesion and biopsy needle. Digital tomosynthesis (DTS) is considered a promising imaging modality for guiding bronchoscopy procedures due to its low radiation dose and small footprint relative to cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). However, the image quality of DTS is still not sufficient for an accurate guidance, mainly due to its limited-angle acquisition.

We present a large dataset of highly accurate two-photon transition strengths (δ) determined for standard small molecules. Our reference values have been calculated using the quadratic response implementation of the third-order coupled cluster method including iterative triples (Q-CC3). The aug-cc-pVTZ atomic basis set is used for molecules with up to five non-hydrogen atoms, while larger molecules are assessed with aug-cc-pVDZ; the differences due to the basis sets are discussed.

Power flow (PF) analysis is a foundational computational method to study the flow of power in an electrical network. This analysis involves solving a set of non-linear and non-convex differential-algebraic equations. State-of-the-art solvers for PF analysis, therefore, face challenges with scalability and convergence, specifically for large-scale and/or ill-conditioned cases characterized by high penetration of renewable energy sources, among others.
