Transforming Pedagogies: Integrating 21st Century Skills And Web 2.0 Technology
(2014-03)
According to (P21), Partnership for 21st Century Skills (n.d.), unless the gap is bridged between how students learn and how they live, today’s education system will face irrelevance. The way people work and live has been ...
Gaining the PROMIS perspective from children with nephrotic syndrome: A Midwest pediatric nephrology consortium study
(2013-03-04)
Abstract Background and objectives: Nephrotic syndrome (NS) represents a common disease in pediatric nephrology typified by a relapsing and remitting course and characterized by the presence of edema that can significantly ...
Horizontal gene transfer of epigenetic machinery and evolution of parasitism in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum and other apicomplexans
(2013-02-11)
The acquisition of complex transcriptional regulatory abilities and epigenetic machinery facilitated the transition of the ancestor of apicomplexans from a free-living organism to an obligate parasite. The ability to control ...
Glycan Structures Contain Information for the Spatial Arrangement of Glycoproteins in the Plasma Membrane
(2013-09-06)
Glycoconjugates at the cell surface are crucial for cells to communicate with each other and the extracellular microenvironment. While it is generally accepted that glycans are vectorial biopolymers, their information ...
Genome sequence analysis of dengue virus 1 isolated in Key West, Florida
(2013-09-30)
Dengue virus (DENV) is transmitted to humans through the bite of mosquitoes. In November 2010, a dengue outbreak was reported in Monroe County in southern Florida (FL), including greater than 20 confirmed human cases. The ...
Genetic variation corroborates sub specific delimitation in the Namib fog-basking beetle, Onymacris unguicularis (Haag) (Tenebrionidae, Coleoptera)
(2013-11-20)
The fog-basking beetle, Onymacris unguicularis (Haag, 1875), is currently listed as a polytypic form comprising two subspecies. A flightless substrate specialist, the beetleis endemic to vegetationless dunes in the Namib, ...
Feasibility of tomotherapy-based image-guided radiotherapy for small cell lung cancer
(2013-11-26)
Background: To assess the tolerance of patients with small cell lung cancer undergoing chemoradiation with tomotherapy-based image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT).
Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of the toxicity ...
Genetic mapping of the female mimic morph locus in the ruff
(2013-11-20)
Ruffs (Aves: Philomachus pugnax) possess a genetic polymorphism for male mating behaviour resulting in three permanent alternative male reproductive morphs: (i) territorial 'Independents', (ii) non-territorial 'Satellites', ...
Geometry of the universe and its relation to entropy and information
(2013-09-16)
In an effort to investigate a possible relation between geometry and information, we establish a relation of the Ricci scalar in the Robertson-Walker metric of the cosmological Friedmann model to the number of information ...
