MCAT Preparation Guide
No full textCompetition for admission to American medical schools has always been intense. Now, with more than 40,000 pre-med students applying for the few available slots each year, scoring well on the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) is more critical than ever.
The MCAT Preparation Guide offers students a systematic, sensible way to improve MCAT test scores. It recognizes their need to understand not only the subject areas covered but also the way the MCAT is structured and what test scorers look for.
Extensively field tested at the University of Chicago, Tulane University, Howard University, and the University of Kentucky, this Guide has already helped hundreds of students to boost their MCAT scores significantly. With this edition, the Guide becomes available nationwide for the first time. One excellent feature is the chapter on preparing writing samples, a section of the MCAT often omitted or slighted in other guides. Here is a step-by step process for attacking writing sample prompts to produce superior essays.
Miriam S. Willey and Barbara M. Jarecky are well-known specialists in teaching exam-taking and study skills to medical students and undergraduates.https://uknowledge.uky.edu/upk_medicine_and_health_sciences/1010/thumbnail.jp
Reminiscing by Lot Scott Willey 1885-1960
No full textBooklet - Scottie (Lot) Willey reminisces about his life in Athabasca. He came to Athabasca in 1903, at the age of eighteen, hauling freight from Edmonton. He talks about the insects and terrain that they and their horses had to endure. He recalls the early years when many services were just beginning to appear in Athabasca. Some of these early services were the bus line, restaurant and boarding house, post office, churches, school, and the telegraph line. He remembers The Hudson's Bay Company trading post, and the use of scows, and then later the steamboat to haul freight north. Many people were employed by the Hudson's Bay Company to haul, load and unload freight. The company had reserved one square mile within the town so that no competitors could open up stores within this mile; so, a couple of private stores were opened outside of this square mile. Scottie was involved in some of the recreational activities offered in Athabasca during those early years. Football (soccer), baseball and foot racing were all popular activities. A fox "boom" occurred during these early years as well. There was an abundance of foxes, and the pelts were valuable. Scottie recalls hauling a load of live foxes worth over $20,000, to be sold to a man in PEI. A land boom also occurred where real estate companies bought large sections of land, subdivided and sold the smaller parcels all over Canada, the USA and England. In 1955, Scottie was given an award for having lived the longest time in the Athabasca district (10 pages
Strategies for delivering insecticide-treated nets at scale for malaria control: a systematic review.
No full textOBJECTIVE: To synthesize findings from recent studies of strategies to deliver insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) at scale in malaria-endemic areas. METHODS: Databases were searched for studies published between January 2000 and December 2010 in which: subjects resided in areas with endemicity for Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax malaria; ITN delivery at scale was evaluated; ITN ownership among households, receipt by pregnant women and/or use among children aged < 5 years was evaluated; and the study design was an individual or cluster-randomized controlled design, nonrandomized, quasi-experimental, before-and-after, interrupted time series or cross-sectional without temporal or geographical controls. Papers describing qualitative studies, case studies, process evaluations and cost-effectiveness studies linked to an eligible paper were also included. Study quality was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias checklist and GRADE criteria. Important influences on scaling up were identified and assessed across delivery strategies. FINDINGS: A total of 32 papers describing 20 African studies were reviewed. Many delivery strategies involved health sectors and retail outlets (partial subsidy), antenatal care clinics (full subsidy) and campaigns (full subsidy). Strategies achieving high ownership among households and use among children < 5 delivered ITNs free through campaigns. Costs were largely comparable across strategies; ITNs were the main cost. Cost-effectiveness estimates were most sensitive to the assumed net lifespan and leakage. Common barriers to delivery included cost, stock-outs and poor logistics. Common facilitators were staff training and supervision, cooperation across departments or ministries and stakeholder involvement. CONCLUSION: There is a broad taxonomy of strategies for delivering ITNs at scale

Visualizing the Marrow of Science
No full textThis study proposes a new methodology that allows for
the generation of scientograms of major scientific domains,
constructed on the basis of cocitation of Institute
of Scientific Information categories, and pruned using
PathfinderNetwork, with a layout determined by algorithms
of the spring-embedder type (Kamada–Kawai),
then corroborated structurally by factor analysis. We
present the complete scientogram of the world for the
Year 2002. It integrates the natural sciences, the social
sciences, and arts and humanities. Its basic structure
and the essential relationships therein are revealed,
allowing us to simultaneously analyze the macrostructure,
microstructure, and marrow of worldwide scientific

Audio Interview with Mrs. Jettie Willey, Mrs. Roseanna Shank, Rev. B.A. Rathbone and Hugo Carlson
No full textAudio - Mrs. Jettie Willey, Mrs. Roseanna Shank, Rev. B.A. Rathbone and Hugo Carlson discuss many firsts to happen in the Athabasca area including: Mr. Dean , the first school teacher in Athabasca, MacLeod's Creamery had the first electricity in the early 1940's, the first wheat was grown west of town by C.B. Major, etc. Many details including prices/costs and wages of teachers and farming in the early twentieth century in Athabasca are provided. Prices of fur trading (live black foxes shipped to Newfoundland cost a thousand dollars), the life of fur traders and other businesses are discussed in great detail. The Reverend Rathbone talks about the Anglican Church's various buildings and personnel (50 minutes)The ""Play"" as listed on cassette appears to be a rehearsal and not worth keeping. Play has not been identified, actors not identified, appears more of a nonsense session rather than a serious rehearsal. Interviews of Seniors is quite informative, however, no one is identified either interviewers or those being interviewed
