Unlocking public health competencies: the dose–response effect of problem-based learning on undergraduate student outcomes by Ashley Falcon, Andrew Porter, Yui Matsuda, Cynthia L. Foronda, Padideh Lovan, Beck Graefe

“…IntroductionProblem-based learning (PBL) is a student-centered pedagogical strategy that emphasizes active learning through the exploration of complex real-world problems. While it has demonstrated effectiveness in undergraduate- and graduate-level programs, there is a notable gap in research on the dose–response relationship between the extent of PBL exposure and competency development in public health education. …”

Identification Method of Dynamic Propagation Process of Rock Fracture Based on Ground Penetrating Radar by CHEN Jun, ZHANG Bo, ZHUANG Xingyue, SONG Zhishu, ZHENG Jun

“…While the existing monitoring techniques such as borehole imaging, CT scanning, and acoustic emission offer valuable insights, they fall short in dynamic tracking, spatial resolution, and engineering applicability, especially for complex fracture networks. This study addresses this gap by proposing a ground penetrating radar (GPR)-based method for identifying the dynamic propagation processes of rock fractures, aiming to provide a non-intrusive, real-time, and quantitative solution for rock mass stability assessment and disaster early warning.MethodsThis research adopts a comprehensive approach, integrating numerical simulations and physical experiments to systematically investigate the intricate relationship between rock fracture propagation and GPR signal response. …”
