Game-based learning is one of the modern pedagogical approaches beginning to gain attention in education. The intention of adopting games in learning is to offer an additional option for online teaching and to provide students with possibilities to acquire skills and competencies. The teacher’s perspective game-based learning motivates students to become active learners while offering alternati...

In knowledge management systems, ontologies play an important role as a backbone for providing and accessing knowledge sources. They are largely used in the next generation of the Semantic Web that focuses on supporting a better cooperation between humans and ma‐ chines [2]. Since manual ontology construction is costly, time-consuming, error-prone, and inflexible to change, it is hoped that an ...

The syndrome of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) 1 is a recognized complication of acute hemolytic episodes in both man (1-3) and laboratory animals (4, 5) and has been induced experimentally in monkeys and dogs by infusion of autologous red blood cell stroma (6, 7). The mechanism of stromainduced D I C may be analogous to the demonstrable procoagulant activity of red cell membrane ...

A statistically significant result, and a non-significant result may differ little, although significance status may tempt an interpretation of difference. Two studies are reported that compared interpretation of such results presented using null hypothesis significance testing (NHST), or confidence intervals (CIs). Authors of articles published in psychology, behavioral neuroscience, and medic...

The demands on a natural language understanding system used for spoken language differ somewhat from the demands of text processing. For processing spoken language, there is a tension between the system being as robust as necessary, and as constrained as possible. The robust system will a t tempt to find as sensible an interpretation as possible, even in the presence of performance errors by th...

An a t tempt was made here to examine the three-light-reactions scheme of photosynthesis presented by Knaff and Arnon challenging the conventional Z-scheme. Tris-treated, sonicated chloroplasts (T20S2) -as used by the earlier workers -were prepared and their absorption, fluorescence action and emission spectra at 77°K were measured. This was done to test whether this treatment causes preferenti...

In a communication to the Chemical Society ~ one of us reported on the property of aminoacids to form insoluble phosphotungstates. In a later publication 2 the writers showed the degree of precipitability of aminoacids by means of phosphottmgstic acid, and stated that a separation of aminoacids may be accomplished by means of this reagent. The at tempt was made to apply the method to the study ...

While we were able to exploit existing research for many of the design issues, it turned out that we needed to develop our own approach to text planning (Rambow 1990). This paper will present the system and a t tempt to show how these design objectives led to particular design decisions. The structure of the paper is as follows. In Section 2, we will present the underlying application and give ...

It has long been accepted that M g A T P is the energy source for contraction. Evidence has also accumulated indicating that M g A T P plays an important role in the regulation of contraction (Weber and Murray, 1973; Inoue and Tonomura , 1974; Godt, 1974; Orentlicher et al., 1977). In an a t tempt to better understand the dual role of ATP in contraction, several researchers have studied the eff...

Two patients with hemophilia A and antiquential antibody titers demonstrated no factor VIII antibodies were treated with change in antibody response in either infusions of factor VIII concentrates and patient when compared to previous studintravenous cyclophosphamide in an aties following factor VIII infusion alone. tempt to suppress the antibody response. These results are in contrast to the p...
