Academic global pulmonary/critical care medicine (PCCM) remains a relatively novel concept not french wrap plus fully embraced by all training programs, so PCCM early-career professionals may have little guidance in building successful careers in this field.To highlight various approaches used by current PCCM faculty to incorporate global health in
Reflections on generating (disjunctive) cuts
We consider the problem of constructing generic supporting hyperplanes to be used within a (branch and) bound-and-cut algorithm.We review some of the properties that these hyperplanes should enjoy.It is generally admitted that they should cut a parasitic point generated during the process.We argue that the advantages of restricting supports to cuts
Distributed leadership in educational contexts: A catalyst for school improvement
In an ever-evolving educational landscape, the conventional boundaries of school leadership have transcended, prompting a need for adaptable and responsive leadership practices.Distributed leadership, a transformative framework, redefines leadership as a collective endeavor involving multiple stakeholders.This paper explores the theoretical foundat
Ecological reef restoration: consumptive and nonconsumptive interactions among common North Sea predators and European oysters
Oyster reefs are biodiversity hotspots with multiple ecosystem functions and services that are declining worldwide.Historic populations of European oysters (Ostrea edulis) have been decimated by overfishing and are nowadays considered functionally extinct in European waters.To halt and reverse the associated biodiversity loss, oyster reef restorati
A Novel Approach for Blind Estimation of Reverberation Time using Rayleigh Distribution Model
In this paper a blind estimation approach is proposed which directly utilizes the reverberant signal for estimating the RT (Reverberation Time).For estimation a speaker cabinet insert very well-known method is used; MLE (Maximum Likelihood Estimation).Distribution of the decay rate is the core of the proposed method and can be achieved from the ana
