The Use of Personal Narrative in Classroom Case Study Analysis to Improve Long-term Knowledge Retention and Cultivate Professional Qualities in Allied Health Students

<p>This study evaluated the use of two different case study formats (clinically-oriented cases versus personally-oriented cases) to determine which was most effective in promoting long-term retention of clinically significant microbiology concepts, developing patient empathy, improving comprehension of patient compliance problems, and facilitating student understanding of transcultural health care concerns. The analysis was conducted in multiple sections of three different introductory microbiology classes targeting specific cohorts: nursing students, pharmacy students and other allied health students (pre-med, pre-PA, CLS, etc.). Retention of course content was determined by evaluation of multiple-choice and short answer examinations at least three weeks after completing case studies. Evaluation of patient empathy, understanding of patient compliance issues and transcultural health care concerns were determined via student surveys. The results of the study indicated that personalized cases significantly improved long-term retention of course content. In addition, student responses indicated that personalized case studies were more effective in developing patient empathy and aiding students in understanding issues patients have with complying with treatment recommendations. Finally, personalized case studies were effective tools for introducing students to the challenges of transcultural health care.</p

Using GPUs and the Parameterization Method for Rapid Search and Refinement of Connections between Tori in Periodically Perturbed Planar Circular Restricted 3-Body Problems

When the planar circular restricted 3-body problem is periodically perturbed, most unstable periodic orbits become invariant tori. However, 2D Poincar\'e sections no longer work to find their manifolds' intersections; new methods are needed. In this study, we first review a method of restricting the intersection search to only certain manifold subsets. We then implement this search using Julia and OpenCL, representing the manifolds as triangular meshes and gaining a 30x speedup using GPUs. We finally show how to use manifold parameterizations to refine the approximate connections found in the mesh search. We demonstrate the tools on the planar elliptic RTBP.Comment: 20 pages, 6 figure

Isolating Neighborhood Trajectory Computations in Non-Autonomous Systems Including the Elliptic Restricted Three-Body Problem

Isolating block and isolating neighborhood methods have previously been implemented to find transit trajectories and orbits around libration points in the autonomous circular restricted three-body problem. For some applications, the direct computation of these types of trajectories in non-autonomous models more closely approximating real-world ephemerides is beneficial. Here, we apply isolating neighborhood methods to non-autonomous systems, including the elliptic restricted three-body problem (ERTBP). Specifically, simplified isolating neighborhood boundaries are computed around libration points in the ERTBP. These boundaries are used in combination with a bisection method to compute the forward asymptotic trajectories of the isolated invariant set and track orbits around a libration point

4th Body-Induced Secondary Resonance Overlapping Inside Unstable Resonant Orbit Families: a Jupiter-Ganymede 4:3 + Europa Case Study

The overlapping of mean-motion resonances is useful for low or zero-propellant space mission design, but while most related prior work uses a planar CRTBP model, tours of multi-moon systems require using resonances affected by two moons. In this case study, we investigate Jupiter-Ganymede unstable 4:3 resonant orbits in a concentric circular restricted 4-body Jupiter-Europa-Ganymede model. We show that despite their high order, secondary resonances between the 4:3 orbits and Europa have a large effect, including 11/34, 12/37, 23/71, and 25/77. Computing newly generated objects inside the secondary resonances definitively confirms their overlap, which causes a complete structural change of the higher-energy unstable 4:3 orbits whose manifolds are most useful for low-TOF orbit transfers. We believe this phenomenon is general, with major implications for resonant orbit use in tour design.Comment: 20 pages, 12 figure
