  2. Calculus (dental) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus_(dental)

    In dentistry, calculus or tartar is a form of hardened dental plaque. It is caused by precipitation of minerals from saliva and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in plaque on the teeth . This process of precipitation kills the bacterial cells within dental plaque, but the rough and hardened surface that is formed provides an ideal surface for ...

  3. Practitioner-teacher model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Practitioner-teacher_model

    The practitioner-teacher model involves the incorporation of practice, teaching, consultation and research responsibilities in the delivery of education. [1] The model is most closely associated with Rush University, a health sciences university developed within Rush-Presbyterian-St.-Luke's Medical Center in Chicago, Illinois. This unique ...

  4. ModelSim - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ModelSim

    ModelSim can also be used with MATLAB/Simulink, using Link for ModelSim. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] Link for ModelSim is a fast bidirectional co-simulation interface between Simulink and ModelSim. [ 8 ] [ 7 ] For such designs, MATLAB provides a numerical simulation toolset, while ModelSim provides tools to verify the hardware implementation & timing ...

  5. Dental plaque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_plaque

    Dental plaque is considered a biofilm adhered to the tooth surface. It is a meticulously formed microbial community, that is organised to a particular structure and function. [12] Plaque is rich in species, given the fact that about 1000 different bacterial species have been recognised using modern techniques. [13]

  6. Models of Teaching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Models_of_Teaching

    Models of Teaching is a book by Bruce Joyce and Marsha Weil about the use of group learning, role playing, synectics and other teaching techniques. [1] First published in 1972, [2] the book is in its ninth edition as of 2018. [3] Since the sixth edition in 2000, Emily Calhoun has also been listed as a contributing author. [4]

  7. Plaque hypotheses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plaque_hypotheses

    The non specific plaque hypothesis was introduced in the 1930s. Studies conducted were unable to identify a specific organism responsible for the formation of periodontal disease, and therefore was unable to support the specific plaque hypothesis. This new theory stated that all bacteria flora in plaque had a role in periodontal destruction ...

  8. Surrogate model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrogate_model

    A surrogate model is an engineering method used when an outcome of interest cannot be easily measured or computed, so an approximate mathematical model of the outcome is used instead. Most engineering design problems require experiments and/or simulations to evaluate design objective and constraint functions as a function of design variables.

  9. Problem-based learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem-based_learning

    The PBL process was pioneered by Barrows and Tamblyn at the medical school program at McMaster University in Hamilton in the 1960s. [5] Traditional medical education disenchanted students, who perceived the vast amount of material presented in the first three years of medical school as having little relevance to the practice of medicine and clinically based medicine.
