The following paper presents a computer based learning strategy to assist in introducing and teaching water quality modelling to undergraduate civil engineering students. As part of the learning strategy, an interactive computer-based instructional (CBI) aid was specifically developed to assist students to set up, run and analyse the output from a commercially available water quality model (WQM...

BACKGROUND To test whether intratumoral gene expression levels and germline polymorphisms predict clinical outcome in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients treated with cetuximab and bevacizumab plus irinotecan (CBI) vs. cetuximab and bevacizumab (CB)(BOND2). PATIENTS AND METHODS Genomic DNA was extracted for genotyping from 65 patients (31: CBI arm and 34: CB arm). Thirty five patient...

Cooperative Bug Isolation (CBI) is a feedback-directed approach to improving software quality. Developers provide instrumented applications to the general public, and then use statistical methods to mine returned data for information about the root causes of failure. Thus, users and developers form a feedback loop of continuous software improvement. Given CBI’s focus on statistical methods and ...

Interferometry has long been used in radio astronomy to enable imaging of astronomical sources with angular resolutions exceeding the diffraction limit of a single aperture. In the past decade, interferometry of the CMB has been carried out with instruments such as the CBI, DASI and VSA which exploited the inherent instrumental stability and simplicity of ell-space analysis of interferometer da...

The concept of local consistency plays a central role in constraint satisfaction and has been extended to handle general constraint-based inference (CBI) problems. We propose a family of novel generalized local consistency concepts for the junction graph representation of CBI problems. These concepts are based on a general condition that depends only on the existence and property of the multipl...

Phenotypes of transcobalamin II (TC2) were determined in 95 maternal-cord serum pairs in order to identify the origin of TC2 in human cord blood. Unsaturated (apo) TC2 in serum was labeled with radioactive (57Co) cobalamin (CbI) and separated into isoproteins by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography. Discordancy between the maternal and the cord serum type was observed in 45% o...

OBJECTIVE To develop and implement a Clinical and Business Intelligence (CBI) system for the Florida Health Data Warehouse (FHDW) in order to bridge the gap between Florida's healthcare stakeholders and the health data archived in FHWD. MATERIALS AND METHODS A gap analysis study has been conducted to evaluate the technological divide between the relevant users and FHWD health data, which is m...

Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) is a tool assessing fatigue and exhaustion as the core features of burnout. Despite its wide use evidence good psychometric properties, little known about structural validity. Therefore, this study aimed to examine internal properties latent composition Serbian version CBI. A sample 382 child welfare workers engaged in work with domestic population professiona...

Corrinoid (vitamin B12-like) cofactors contain various alpha-axial ligands, including 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole (DMB) or adenine. The bacterium Salmonella enterica produces the corrin ring only under anaerobic conditions, but it can form "complete" corrinoids aerobically by importing an "incomplete" corrinoid, such as cobinamide (Cbi), and adding appropriate alpha- and beta-axial ligands. Under...

This paper examines variations of text density levels for learning in a computer-based instruction (CBI) tutorial from an integrated perspective, and addresses the following questions: (1) What is the text density? (2) What are the relationships among text density approaches? and (3) What are the contributions of text density for learning and how can perceptual skills and human factors be used ...
