Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) can exit the self-renewal programme, through the action of signalling molecules, at any given time and differentiate along the three germ layer lineages. We have systematically investigated the specific roles of three signalling pathways, TGFβ/SMAD2, BMP/SMAD1, and FGF/ERK, in promoting the transition of hESCs into the neuroectoderm lineage. In this context, i...

Abstract. In the post industrial era, with development of urban economy and upgrading structure, a large number enterprises in city transfer from centre to periphery order relieve pressure land shortage seek their own development. Therefore, idle left behind is favoured by real estate emerging industries. As an important space carrier for continuation context economic development, buildings are...

Data mining techniques are used to extract useful knowledge from raw data. The extracted knowledge is valuable and significantly affects the decision maker. Educational data mining (EDM) is a method for extracting useful information that could potentially affect an organization. The increase of technology use in educational systems has led to the storage of large amounts of student data, which ...

When curricula change, teachers have to bring their knowledge and beliefs up to date. Two aspects can be distinguished: what do teachers learn and how is it learned. Two groups of teachers were involved during the preparation of a new chemistry curriculum. One group developed student learning material and subsequently enacted this in class. Another group only class-enacted this. Based on teache...

Ethics is a critical component of Civil Engineering education and practice. This paper discusses a case study to integrate ethics into a required undergraduate Civil Engineering course -Civil Engineering Systems -at Georgia Institute of Technology. The course introduces systems and sustainability concepts in Civil Engineering planning, design, operations, and renewal, and thus presents an appro...

Over the past ten years, State and Territory housing authorities have stressed the importance of resident participation in community and urban renewal. However, their renewal efforts have lacked a sound evidence base.Why is community participation seen as crucial?
