Higher and tertiary education are crucial to modern nations. Vietnam has great potential, but its universities and colleges are poor-performing, under-funded and slow to change compared to those in neighbouring East Asian nations. This book analyses the problem and provides constructive solutions for the reform of higher education.

Written and edited by today's most-recognized inteventional cardiology thought leaders, this popular guide focuses on key procedures and techniques. Each strategic or tactical move is graded by complexity level and described in a simple, step-by-step approach that includes guidance on how to overcome practical difficulties and navigate particularly challenging clinical scenarios and complications. It offers interventional cardiologists, fellows in interventional cardiology, cath lab nurses and technicians; vascular surgeons and fellows, interventional radiologists: "Tips and tricks" gathered from the personal experience of over fifty international experts Clear, practical, step-by-step guidance on the latest procedures and techniques, performing challenging interventions, and managing complications and other difficult situations where evidence may be limited or inconsistent New coverage of hot topics such as percutaneous aortic valve replacement, renal artery ablation, intracranial interventions, and more

Medical decisions are made on the basis of critical thinking and clinical judgments are based on the relevancy of the collected data. Medical decisions and clinical judgments are the results of the long thought process generated from formal learning, data from guidelines and practice standards, experience, an understanding of the incidence of disease in the population that the patient represents, and the likelihood of a disease being present in a specific patient. This book introduces and encourages the concept of evidence-based patient care. This work presents the ideology and methodology of critical thinking and also the available evidence, management and cost effectives across the field. Evidence-Based Cardiology is aimed at any clinician who encounters a cardiac patient from the Clerk to the Internist to the Practicing Physician, encouraging disease management decisions to be based on the highest level of evidence.

Performance assessment of teaching competency plays an important role in educational activities. Previous assessments of lecturers’ performance have failed to distinguish between potential capacity and their teaching effectiveness. To solve this problem, the integrated approach of quantitative assessment and multi-criteria decision-making models has become one of the main trends for assessing the performance of lecturers in multiple dimensions: self, peer-,manager- and student-based evaluation. This paper proposes a novel hierarchical approach, developed by the Technique for Order preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution method in an interval-valued complex neutrosophic set environment, to more accurately and comprehensively understand the evaluation process and fit it into a systematic framework. An application is given to illustrate a practical solution in lecturer’s evaluation. The accuracy of the proposed method is verified by comparing with other methods.

Global optimization is one of the fastest developing fields in mathematical optimization. In fact, an increasing number of remarkably efficient deterministic algorithms have been proposed in the last ten years for solving several classes of large scale specially structured problems encountered in such areas as chemical engineering, financial engineering, location and network optimization, production and inventory control, engineering design, computational geometry, and multi-objective and multi-level optimization. These new developments motivated the authors to write a new book devoted to global optimization problems with special structures. Most of these problems, though highly nonconvex, can be characterized by the property that they reduce to convex minimization problems when some of the variables are fixed. A number of recently developed algorithms have been proved surprisingly efficient for handling typical classes of problems exhibiting such structures, namely low rank nonconvex structures. Audience: The book will serve as a fundamental reference book for all those who are interested in mathematical optimization.

CE TRAVAIL EST CONSACRE A L'ETUDE DE L'EFFET DES ULTRASONS BASSE FREQUENCE (20 KHZ) SUR LA REACTION DE CEMENTATION CD(II)/ZN SUR EDT (ELECTRODE A DISQUE TOURNANT) ET SUR POUDRE EN REACTEUR AGITE. DANS LES DEUX CONFIGURATIONS, ET QUE CE SOIT AVEC OU SANS ULTRASON, LA REACTION EST CONTROLEE PAR LE TRANSFERT DE MATIERE LIQUIDE-SOLIDE DES ESPECES CEMENTANTES, DU MOINS JUSQU'A UN TAUX DE CONVERSION DE 80%. SUR EDT, LA CINETIQUE DE LA REACTION PEUT ETRE DECRITE PAR DEUX ETAPES DU PREMIER ORDRE DONT LA DEUXIEME EST PLUS RAPIDE QUE LA PREMIERE. CETTE ACCELERATION EST LIEE A UNE MODIFICATION DE L'HYDRODYNAMIQUE A LA SURFACE DE L'ELECTRODE RESULTANT DE L'EVOLUTION DU DEPOT SUR LES PLANS QUANTITATIF (MASSE) ET QUALITATIF (MORPHOLOGIE). L'APPARITION DE CETTE RUGOSITE CRITIQUE DEPEND DE NOMBREUX PARAMETRES OPERATOIRES TELS QUE LA VITESSE D'AGITATION, LA TEMPERATURE OU BIEN ENCORE LES CONCENTRATIONS INITIALES EN ESPECES METALLIQUES. D'AUTRE PART, L'APPORT DES ULTRASONS SUR LA CINETIQUE DE LA REACTION EST REDUIT PAR RAPPORT AUX RESULTATS ESCOMPTES (GAIN D'UN FACTEUR 5-10) A PARTIR D'UNE ETUDE ELECTROCHIMIQUE DU SYSTEME REDOX ETUDIE. DEUX EFFETS ISSUS DE LA CAVITATION ACOUSTIQUE SE COMPENSENT : L'AMELIORATION DU TRANSFERT DE MATIERE (EFFET POSITIF) ET LA REGENERATION DE LA SURFACE REACTIONNELLE (EFFET NEGATIF). EN EFFET, CE DERNIER CONDUIT A LA DESTRUCTION DU DEPOT METALLIQUE DONT LA PRESENCE EST L'AGENT ACCELERATEUR DE LA CINETIQUE DE CEMENTATION SANS ULTRASON. EN REACTEUR AGITE MECANIQUEMENT, LES PARTICULES DE ZINC SUBISSENT UNE FRAGMENTATION CONDUISANT, DE PART L'AUGMENTATION DE SURFACE REACTIONNELLE, QUI EN RESULTE, A UNE AMELIORATION DE LA CINETIQUE. L'UTILISATION DES ULTRASONS EST EGALEMENT, DANS CETTE CONFIGURATION, PEU PROBANTE SUR LA CINETIQUE, LES PARTICULES CONSERVANT UNE TAILLE IMPORTANTE PAR FUSION DU DEPOT DE CADMIUM A LEUR SURFACE. CEPENDANT, ELLE PERMET A LA REACTION D'ETRE TOTALE CE QUI N'EST PAS LE CAS SANS ULTRASON DU FAIT D'UNE LIMITATION EN FIN DE REACTION PAR LE TRANSPORT DES ESPECES ZN(II) OXYDEES DU ZINC DES SITES ANODIQUES VERS LA SOLUTION. UNE MODELISATION SIMPLIFIEE DE LA REACTION SUR POUDRE EN REACTEUR AGITE A PERMIS DE CONFIRMER CETTE LIMITATION. L'APPORT DES ULTRASONS BASSE FREQUENCE SUR LA CEMENTATION CD(II)/ZN EST DONC GLOBALEMENT RELATIVEMENT LIMITE D'AUTANT PLUS QUE LES ENERGIES MISES EN JEU SONT IMPORTANTES.
