In this paper, I argue that gains can be made in both staff efficiency and educational value by replacing the traditional lecture/practical format of higher-education courses with a new format involving teamcentred, resource-based learning (RBL). Under the new format, students are deployed in independent teams to tackle a series of tasks supported by various resources, including documentation, ...

BACKGROUND To explore the efficacy of tranexamic acid (TXA) on reducing hidden blood loss (HBL) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) by conducting a comparative study and meta-analysis. MATERIAL/METHODS A total of 108 patients underwent TKA was equally distributed to experimental and control groups. The only difference between two groups was the administrations of 15 mg of TXA mixed in 100 mL nor...

BACKGROUND EMODIN (1,3,8-trihydroxy-6-methylanthraquinone) is a Chinese herbal anthraquinone derivative from the rhizome of rhubarb (Rheum palmatum L.) that exhibits numerous biological activities, such as antitumor, antibacterial, antiinflammatory, and immunosuppressive. In the present studies, the anti-allergic activities of emodin were investigated to elucidate the underlying active mechanis...

www.thelancet.com Vol 388 July 23, 2016 311 Tens of thousands of surgical procedures are performed every year in the UK to resolve symptoms of anal bleeding and prolapse caused by haemorrhoids. A steady stream of novel therapeutic approaches may promise more convenient, comfortable, and ultimately eff ective treatment for this common complaint, but innovation is generally associated with increa...

ige-mediated cell signaling, induced by cross-linking of high affinity receptor for ige (fcεri) in the presence of antigen (ag), is a well known mechanism described for mast cell activation in allergy and hypersensitivity reactions, which induces a spectrum of cellular responses such as secretion and up-regulation of cell surface fcεri. although for several years  ige  binding  to  fcεri  was  ...

This paper reports on an evaluation of an innovative, online resource-based learning (RBL) approach used in first year psychology at Deakin University. The evaluation revealed a number of critical issues that must be considered to ensure effective implementation of an RBL approach. Emphasis is give999n to educational considerations covering the use and value of a diversity of print and electron...

We study the residuated basic logic (RBL) of residuated basic algebra in which the basic implication of Visser’s basic propositional logic (BPL) is interpreted as the right residual of a non-associative binary operator · (product). We develop an algebraic system SRBL of residuated basic algebra by which we show that RBL is a conservative extension of BPL. We present the sequent formalization LR...

For the first time we show the effects of deuterium oxide on cell growth and vesicle transport in rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-2H3) cells. RBL-2H3 cells cultured with 15 moles/L deuterium showed decreased cell growth which was attributed to cells not doubling their DNA content. Experimental observations also showed an increase in vesicle speed for cells cultured in deuterium oxide. This increas...

A new continuous retinoblastoma cell line (Rb 355-7) derived from a nonfamilial unilaterally-affected child was studied morphologically and with regard to HLA expression. The tumor was compared with two older and widely studied cell lines, the Y-79 and WERI-Rbl strains. The Rb 355-7 line grew in tissue culture in clusters and chains. Its doubling time was calculated to be 4.4 days. In contrast ...
