Training educators and learners in person-centred, solution-orientated coaching approaches may facilitate the development of a learner-centred mindset.Imperial College London developed a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) in coaching skills for learner-centred conversations.A mixed methodology (post-course survey and semi-structured interviews) was

In 1998-1999 a seismic sequence occurred in the Southern Apennines, after the moderate size (mb=5.0) 9th September 1998 Pollino earthquake.It lasted about 14 months and was clearly localized to the sole north-west Addition area of the main shock epicenter.Its peculiarity consisted in sudden changes of activity from a series of normal faul

Abstract Temperature anomalies considerably influence the regional climate and weather of the extratropics.By the end of this century, climate models project an intensification of synoptic temperature variability in the Southern Hemisphere mid-latitudes.This intensification, however, comprises temperature anomalies with various length scales and pe

Abstract Background Phylogenetic methods are well-established bioinformatic tools for sequence analysis, allowing to describe the non-independencies of sequences because of their common ancestor.However, the evolutionary profiles of bacterial genes are often complicated by hidden paralogy Addition and extensive and/or (multiple) horizontal gene tra

Minimum solid area (MSA) models are popular models for the calculation of the effective properties of porous materials and are frequently used to justify the use of a simple exponential relation for fitting purposes.In this contribution it is shown that MSA models, and the simple exponentials they support, are misleading and should be avoided.In pa
