Applications of laboratory pain methodologies in research with children and adolescents: emerging research trends.

Historically, laboratory pain research with children and adolescents has largely been conducted with healthy samples using the cold pressor task (CPT). Additional laboratory methodologies, commonly referred to as quantitative sensory testing (QST), include a variety of psychophysical tests assessing sensory perception (eg, pressure and heat tolerance) and sensory abnormalities. There is signifi...

Challenges to Research in MOOCs

Over the past five years, the emergence of interactive social media has influenced the development of learning environments. Learning management systems have come to maturity, but because they are controlled by educational institutions and are subsequently used to support institutional learning, have been seen by learning technologists as not capturing the spirit and possibilities that new medi...

A report on the latest trends in nanofluid research

The term Nanofluids was first coined by Sir Stephen Choi in 1995 at Argonne National Laboratory ,U.S.A .Since the discovery, nanofluid have been explored as heat transfer fluids. Nanofluids increased the thermal conductivity of existing coolants (Water, Ethylene glycol) by a magnitude of hundred times which made them attractive for miniaturization of electronic devices .From 1995 till 2008 nano...
