Response to Protocol Review Scenario: Defining “access”

Neuregulins Response to Exercise: a Mini Review

The Neuregulin is a member of the epidermal growth factors (EGF) family of receptor kinases, was originally identified as the product of the transforming gene derived from chemically induced rat neuroblastoms. A variety of different protein isoforms are produced from single Neuregulin gene. Four distinct vertebrate gene encode Neuregulin, prosaically named NRG1, NRG2, NRG3, and NRG4. Most of bi...

Defining Integrated Knowledge Translation and Moving Forward: A Response to Recent Commentaries

A Scenario-Based Approach to Protocol Design Using Evolutionary Techniques

An evolutionary approach to design communication protocols from scenario-based specifications is presented. It enables to automatically generate finite-state models of protocol entities from Message Sequence Charts. By converting the Message Sequence Charts into input/output sequences, the problem reduces to evolving finite-state machines with the specified input/output behaviors. The proposed ...

Defining Mental Retardation and Ensuring Access to the General Curriculum

Release of the most recent edition (2002) of the American Association on Mental Retardation’s terminology and classification manual provides a point in time to consider ways in which mental retardation is understood and how that understanding contributes to educational practices to promote positive outcomes for students with mental retardation. Since release of the previous edition of the manua...

Defining and Measuring Access to Knowledge: Towards an A2K Index

Comparative indices are widely used in international development circles to benchmark and monitor public policy objectives. To date, however, no one has examined how an index of Access to Knowledge might be constructed. This article examines the methodological issues involved in such a project and provides a blueprint for the development of a robust and reliable A2K Index. For those new to the ...
