华教观的差异 ：马来西亚国民中学与华文独立中学比较研究 = Difference views Of Chinese education in Malaysia national schools and Chinese private schools by Ng, Jun Xiong

“…Although this superiority may not necessarily be formed through discrimination of the other party, it may cause both sides to have stigma or wrong perceptions about each other. Therefore, this article seeks to uncover the reason behind the different perceptions of “Chineseness” and Chinese education between the private schools and national schools, by comparing their teaching environment, textbooks and teaching philosophy.…”

Operator-based truncation scheme based on the many-body fermion density matrix by Henley, Christopher L., Cheong, Siew Ann

“…In this paper we improved upon this understanding, and developed a statistical-mechanical analogy between the density-matrix eigenstates and the many-body states of a system of noninteracting fermions. Each density-matrix eigenstate corresponds to a particular set of occupation of single-particle pseudo-energy levels, and the density-matrix eigenstate with the largest weight, having the structure of a Fermi sea ground state, unambiguously defines a pseudo-Fermi level. …”

High-spin impurities and surface acoustic waves in piezoelectric crystals for spin-lattice coupling by Magnusson, E

“…As the relative change in each coincide, this strongly supports the notion that the modification of <em>D</em> by an electric field is a multiplicative effect rather than an additive one, <em>D</em> = <em>D</em>₀(1 + κΕ). …”

Parallel transmission technologies for imaging the brain and body with 7 tesla MRI by Kent, JL

“…Both parallel transmit scattering and pilot tone showed good sensitivity to head motion and each method was able to accurately predict rigid body head motion in all six degrees of freedom using a linear regression model.…”

Cost of the national malaria control program and cost-effectiveness of indoor residual spraying and insecticide-treated bed net interventions in two districts of Madagascar by Andrianantoandro, VTA, Audibert, M, Kesteman, T, Ravolanjarasoa, L, Randrianarivelojosia, M, Rogier, C

“…The cost of the NMCP and the costs incurred in the implementation of each intervention at the district level were initially estimated. …”
