An Exploration of Providing Additional Support for Direct Entry Nursing Students
… student. This struggle is evident with the direct entry nursing students at The College at Brockport. A select few students are chosen out of high school to be directly entered into the nursing program as a freshman. These students are just responsible for maintaining a 3.25 GPA and complete …

“Fish in different water, to survive or to thrive?” Understanding Direct-Entry Pre-Sessional Chinese Students’ Learning Experiences during COVID-19 and its Aftermath
This thesis explores the learning experiences of direct-entry pre-sessional Chinese students in the UK during the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath, using Pierre Bourdieu’s theoretical framework. Through the metaphor of students as "fish in different water", the research examines how these …

Assessment of aerocapture-entry trajectories for human Mars exploration
… insert into an elliptic parking orbit prior to entry, descent, and landing is being explored for human Mars missions. These aerocapture-entry trajectories have advantages over a direct entry, but the advantages come at the cost of additional entry system mass. The goal of this research is to …

Assessment of application of the steep-lifting entry trajectory solution to real-time entry guidance
… guidance applications. The steep-lifting entry trajectory solution is a set of closed-form analytical approximate solutions to the planar equations of motion, which includes expressions for range, flight-path angle, and altitude as functions of velocity. This thesis assesses the …

Managing energy and mode transitions in skip entry guidance for lunar return trajectories
Skip entry trajectories provide a technique for returning an astronaut crew from the Moon to a continental United States landing site at any time during the lunar month. This approach to atmospheric entry requires that the guidance system be capable of precisely targeting a vast array of downrange …

Structural Transitions in Self-Assembled Lipid Systems Driven by Induced Curvature: From Cell -Penetrating Peptides to Programmable Vesicles
… free energy barriers for a range of different entry mechanisms, such as direct translocation as well as endocytotic pathways. Furthermore, we show that the TAT peptide interacts strongly with actin cytoskeleton, which enhances membrane deformation and cytoskeleton reorganization necessary for …

The benefits and challenges of employing new sonography graduates: Key stakeholder views
… graduate after proposed completion of a direct entry, undergraduate programme of study. The aim of the research was to gain a deeper understanding of the current perceptions of key stakeholders related to employing new sonography graduates. Method: Semi structured interviews were used and …

Walking the talent tightrope : becoming a 'top cop' in the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS)
… policing, on key policing debates, such as direct entry, and the ‘system’ and processes that got them to where they are. Building on the works of Reiner (1991), Wall (1998) and Caless (2011), it is intended that this research study will shed some new light on this elite, but relatively …

Case Studies of IMF Driven Auroral Emissions
… the Sun to the Earth. The solar wind plasma has direct entry into Earth's ionosphere at the polar cusp. At the cusp Earth's magnetic fields lines are open and connect .directly to the magnetic field lines of the solar wind. The energy from the solar wind particles precipitating into the …

Issues in ESL Academic Writing
When asked, most learners studying the university Direct Entry Program (DEP) state that academic writing in second language is challenging, leading to making errors. Rather than treating these errors on the surface, the underlying causes are salient; hence, this study has investigated the issue …

Structural transitions in self-assembled lipid systems driven by induced curvature: from cell-penetrating peptides to programmable vesicles
… using these peptides, their mechanisms of cell entry are still under investigation. Ionic interactions between the highly cationic peptides and the anionic cell membrane and other anionic molecules on the cell surface are believed to be the initial step in the internalization process. We …

An evaluation study of an English for academic purposes program in a Vietnamese university
… the prerequisite, for students who fail to gain direct entry into the EMI programs. However, questions have arisen as to how well such EAP programs prepare students for future EMI study. This study evaluated an EAP program offered by one Vietnamese public university. It was one of the first EAP …

DESIGN, SYNTHESIS, AND OPTIMIZATION OF SMALL-MOLECULE CD4 MIMETICS AS HIV-1 ENTRY INHIBITORS AND SYNTHETIC EFFORTS TOWARD THE TOTAL SYNTHESIS OF NAHUOIC ACID Cii
… represent a promising strategy that blocks viral entry by binding to the conserved Phe43 cavity of gp120, thereby competing with native CD4 for Env engagement. Beyond direct entry inhibition, CD4mcs induce conformational rearrangements that expose normally occluded epitopes on gp120, sensitizing …

Some determinants of success and failure in first-year university business units at private colleges
… do not possess adequate academic assessments for direct entry into university, and for students who might benefit from an enhanced pastoral support system, in the transition from secondary education to tertiary education. The study is important to private providers and to universities who are …

Combining content-based and EAP approaches to academic writing: Towards an eclectic program
… there is some concern that international entry tests do not adequately measure the complex features of university writing; an important concern given that student success is heavily dependent on their mastery of academic writing. As a result, many international students require additional …

The use of Mixed Reality in medical education: an evaluation of feasibility, usability and learning efficacy
… MCQ scores (median 60% Vs 90%, p <0.001). Six direct-entry medicine and six graduate-entry medicine student predictor variables displayed significant positive correlations with students’ post-tutorial assessment scores. R-squared values for the machine learning models ranged from 0.04-0.35, …
