Nowadays, the new paradigm demands digital textbooks which contain interactive contents. Our goal is to design the digital textbook providing effective multimedia and cutting interface for interactive education. To achieve this purpose, we propose the user friendly cutting interface and interactive animation for digital textbook. This interface complemented current digital textbook interface wh...

Within the paper we present real remote experiment “Free fall of a body in a glass tube”. The experiment is based on the movement of a permanent magnet in a glass tube with induction pick up coils for position measurement. The paper also shows the possibilities of implementation of this experiment to direct educational process as a part of new strategy of education – Integrated eLearning (INTe-...

Introduction. A legislative mandate to adopt digital textbooks in Florida provides an opportunity to identify concerns school librarians have regarding digital textbook implementation. Method. The stages of concern questionnaire was used to identify stages of concern among Florida school librarians about their potential role in this implementation. Analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to ...

Research into the adoption and satisfaction level of academic electronic textbooks (etextbooks) by students continues to proliferate as e-textbooks become more commonplace. To date this research has indicated that either students prefer print textbooks to e-textbooks or the results are inconclusive. Prior research on the overall acceptance of technology suggested that females are significantly ...

The VTEXT framework is designed to provide many of the desired features of an etextbook in such a way that it provides pedagogical value rather than just convenience for students. Many so-called e-textbook solutions available today provide few features beyond those possible with hardcopy textbooks. The VTEXT framework is built as an add-in to Microsoft’s note-taking program, OneNote. The add-in...

BACKGROUND Strategies employed by parasites to establish infections are poorly understood. The host-parasite interface is maintained through a molecular dialog that, among other roles, protects parasites from host immune responses. Parasite excretory/secretory products (ESP) play major roles in this process. Understanding the biology of protein secretion by parasites and their associated functi...

Investigators have pondered whether or not ESP size has an impact on mercury capture by sorbent injection or deposition on fly ash. If important, ESP size would then have an impact on how effectively a power plant captures mercury and can comply with mercury control requirements. There are two possible elements to the impact of ESP size. First, does a larger ESP enable more mercury capture to o...

A comprehensive understanding of cancer is predicated upon knowledge of the structure of malignant genomes underlying its many variant forms and the molecular mechanisms giving rise to them. It is well established that solid tumor genomes accumulate a large number of genome rearrangements during tumorigenesis. End Sequence Profiling (ESP) maps and clones genome breakpoints associated with all t...
