a novel zinc oxide - agar nanocomposite was successfully synthesized using zinc chloride as a precursor. the nanocomposite was prepared using a domestic microwave oven. the prepared nanocomposites have been characterized by fourier transform infrared (ftir) spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction (xrd) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (sem) and uv- visible spectroscopy. the crystalline properties...

Scientifically sound network studies require the execution of large series of experiments. Researchers usually have to execute experiments manually, a labor-intensive and error-prone task, since there is no automation of the overall experimentation process. This task becomes especially hard on a distributed testbed and the researcher has to deal with additional challenges. In this paper we intr...

How do ordinary citizens react to new policy-relevant findings that they learn about from media mentions or word of mouth? We conducted an experiment embedded in a randomdigit-dial (RDD) telephone survey of 1,050 California adults. Respondents heard a description of a hypothetical study on one of four politicized topics or a politically neutral topic (nutrition) and were asked to describe their...

S ome vertebrates, such as fi sh, amphibians, and lizards, have the ability to replace lost limbs and regenerate organs. Regeneration requires the reactivation of signaling molecules that were used during embryonic development. Weidinger has spent his career so far studying aspects of zebrafish embryogenesis, including the role of Wnt signaling molecules (1, 2), and has more recently been inves...

This paper focuses on argumentative diagrams for computer-supported collaborative argumentation-based learning. Thirty pairs of students discussed two cases on the topic of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) via the computer. They communicated via chat. Pairs of students were either asked to collaboratively construct a diagram using argumentative labels to describe the boxes in the diagram, ...

This paper takes a slightly light-hearted look at what defines an ethical researcher, and concludes that most of research is done in an entirely unethical way. It shows the way forward for such unethical researchers and makes a contribution to the field of ICT research, where questions about ethics have rarely surfaced, let alone been addressed.

National Statistical Institutes [NSIs] are increasingly investigating new ways of providing access to confidential microdata for research purposes. These innovations are being driven by the requirement for NSIs to ensure the best possible return for their investments in data collection coupled with researchers’ increasing demand for highly detailed microdata. After a long period of decline as N...
