Teachware is a set of computer software tools for computeraided interactive teaching of certain knowledge elements. The construction of teachware for statistical knowledge is a rather young eld since it heavily depends on data structures and graphical interaction possibilities. In this paper we present a teachware module for XploRe-a statistical computing environment. We focus on the situation ...

Constitutive mRNA expression and secretion of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines was comparatively analyzed in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovial fibroblasts (SFB), isolated from primary culture or derived by repeated passage; normal-skin fibroblasts were used as controls. First-passage RA-SFB (n = 3) secreted large amounts of IL-6 (15,800 +/- 2,110 pg/ml; mean +/- SEM), but only l...

Thirty two multiparous Holstein cows were used in a randomized block design to investigate the effects of feeding diets included two different source of nonfiber carbohydrate during the transition period on dry matter intake (DMI), lactational performance, blood metabolites and parturitional characteristics. Cows received total mixed rations containing either macaroni wastes(MW) or steam-flaked...

Although we often seek social feedback (SFB) from others to help us make decisions, little is known about how SFB affects decisions under risk, particularly from a close peer. We conducted two experiments using an established framing task to probe how decision-making is modulated by SFB valence (positive, negative) and the level of closeness with feedback provider (friend, confederate). Partici...

One hundred twenty medium-frame crossbred steers (364 kg) were used in a 106-d feedlot trial to compare the feeding value of Condor, a hulless barley (HB), with Leduc, a conventional covered barley (CB). Dietary treatments consisted of a finishing diet containing 77% grain (DM basis) as 1) steam-flaked corn (SFC); 2) dry-rolled HB (DRB-H); 3) steam-flaked HB (SFB-H); 4) dry-rolled CB (DRB-C); a...

* Cognitive Systems Research Group and SFB/TR 8 Spatial Cognition, Universität Bremen, Germany. Email: [email protected] Abstract. After a decade of temporal reasoning in Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the 1980s and 1990s, spatial reasoning and spatial cognition have moved into the focus of interest in concentrated research enterprises since the mid 1990s. This paper describes the in...

Segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB) are found in multiple species and play an important role in the development of mucosal immunity. The mechanism by which the bacteria interact with the immune system has not been well defined. We provide morphologic evidence of direct interaction between SFB and intraepithelial mononuclear cells.
