There is a short supply, yet tacit demand, for creative and e ective communication training for educational leaders. A eld of literature indicates that a leader's identity is a potent communication tool. A leader's image can frame expectations for followers, symbolically evoking a family of concepts and patterns of meaning (receiving). The mindset of the transformational leader is politically r...

In this paper I present the position that the use of face recognition technology (FRT) in law enforcement and in business is restrictive of individual autonomy. I reason that FRT severely undermines autonomous self-determination by hobbling the idea of freedom of the will. I distinguish this position from two other common arguments against surveillance technologies: the privacy argument (that F...

Fps/Fes proteins were among the first members of the protein tyrosine kinase family to be characterized as dominant-acting oncoproteins. Addition of retroviral GAG sequences or other experimentally induced mutations activated the latent transforming potential of Fps/Fes. However, activating mutations in fps/fes had not been found in human tumors until recently, when mutational analysis of a pan...

Systems Engineering is not a new discipline; the term has been in use since World War II. Yet, whilst there has been no shortage of definitions of the term over the years (not all of which are consistent), there is little consensus on the scope of Systems Engineering. This is particularly true in relation to other overlapping disciplines such as System Dynamics, Operations Research, Industrial ...

The primary goal of the Semantic Web is to use URIs as a universal space to name anything, expanding from using URIs for webpages to URIs for “real objects and imaginary concepts,” as phrased by Berners-Lee. This distinction has often been tied to the distinction between information resources, like webpages and multimedia files, and non-information resources, which are everything from real peop...

BACKGROUND The question of identity of psychiatry as a medical profession as well as of the future of psychiatry has been the subject of much controversial discussion. METHOD An overview of available literature on crisis and challenges in contemporary psychiatry as well as on future of psychiatry. RESULTS In this paper we present our transdisciplinary multiperspective view on psychiatry bas...

Using induced pluripotent stem cells, Ang et al. elucidate how a mutation in the transcription factor GATA4 causes congenital heart disease. They find that, although the recruitment of GATA4 to cardiac super-enhancers is retained, it no longer functions in partnership with another key transcription factor, leading to misexpression of non-cardiomyocyte genes.

The research presented in this paper reports on three phases of an empirical user study that examines the relationship between identity and technology using contextual interviews, focus groups and cultural probes. The study revealed that federated systems potentially have real relevance for users who are increasingly willing to supply information and even sacrifice their privacy if they are giv...
