We revisit a framework for designing peer-based intelligent tutoring systems motivated by McCalla’s ecological approach, where learning is facilitated by the previous experiences of peers with a corpus of learning objects. Prior research demonstrated the value of a proposed algorithm for modeling student learning and for selecting the most beneficial learning objects to present to new students....

In this article, we introduce ADMAN an alarm-based diabetes management system for the disposal of Mobile Geriatric Teams MGT. The system aims at providing a form of remote monitoring in order to control the diabetes rate for elder patients. The system is multidimensional in a way that it resides at the patient mobile machine from a side, the doctor’s mobile machine from another side and can be ...

This paper looks at the implementation of wireless netbooks within two primary schools in the UK for all children at key stages 4 and 5. It looks at current concepts of ematurity and technological implementation and offers a new model based on three interlocking factors, the educational status of the technology, the capacity for innovation of the organisation, groups and individuals and how far...

In this paper, we present an algorithm for reasoning about the sequencing of content for students in an intelligent tutoring system, influenced by McCalla’s ecological approach. We record with each learning object those students who experienced the object, together with their initial and final states of knowledge, and then use these interactions to reason about the most effective lesson to show...

Purkinje cell toxicity is one of the characteristic features of the Gordon phenomenon, a syndrome manifested by ataxia, muscular rigidity, paralysis, and tremor that may lead to death (Gordon, 1933). Two members of the RNase superfamily found in humans, EDN (eosinophil-derived neurotoxin) and ECP (eosinophil cationic protein), cause the Gordon phenomenon when injected intraventricularly into gu...

The Sine-Gordon equation in (1+3) dimensions has N-traveling front ("kink", "domain wall")- solutions for all N ≥ 1. A nonlinear functional of the solution, which vanishes on a single-front, maps multi-front solutions onto sets of infinitely long, but laterally bounded, rods, which move in space. Each rod is localized in the vicinity of the intersection of two Sine-Gordon fronts. The rod system...

The JGP is pleased to announce that Sharona Gordon, associate professor of physiology and biophysics at the University of Washington, has become an associate editor. Sharona has held a Jules and Doris Stein Research to Prevent Blindness Professorship and served with distinction on many national and institutional committees, including the National Institutes of Health/CSR Neurotransmitter Transp...
