Brain-based learning: A synthesis of research
(North American Colleges and Teachers of Agriculture, 2008-06-01)
The purpose of this study was to synthesize research as it relates to brain-based learning and its relevance to the agricultural education profession. Through a comprehensive literature review, brainbased studies were ...
Assessment of Nutrient Limitation in Floodplain Forests with Two Different Techniques
(Hindawi, 2008-05-15)
We assessed nitrogen and phosphorus limitation in a floodplain forest in southern Georgia in USA using two commonly used methods: nitrogen to phosphorus (N:P) ratios in litterfall and fertilized ingrowth cores. We measured ...
Role of information and communication networks in malaria survival
(2007-10-10)
Background
Quite often symptoms of malaria go unrecognized or untreated. According to the Multilateral Initiative on Malaria, 70% of the malaria cases that are treated at home are mismanaged. Up to 82% of all malaria ...
Neurological and behavioral abnormalities, ventricular dilatation, altered cellular functions, inflammation, and neuronal injury in brains of mice due to common, persistent, parasitic infection
(2008-10-23)
Background
Worldwide, approximately two billion people are chronically infected with Toxoplasma gondii with largely unknown consequences.
Methods
To better understand long-term effects and pathogenesis of this common, ...
Self-Organizing Units in an Interdisciplinary Course for Pervasive Computing Design
(ASEE, 2009-06)
We conducted a case study of a design course that focused on bringing together students from engineering, industrial design, and marketing to use pervasive computing technologies to design, coordinate, and build a “smart” ...

Policy Adjustment in a Dynamic Economic Game
(PLOS, 2006-12)
Making sequential decisions to harvest rewards is a notoriously difficult problem. One difficulty is that the real world is not stationary and the reward expected from a contemplated action may depend in complex ways on ...
Molecular mechanisms of experience-dependent plasticity in visual cortex
(Royal Society, 2008)
A remarkable amount of our current knowledge of mechanisms underlying experience-dependent plasticity during cortical development comes from study of the mammalian visual cortex. Recent advances in high-resolution cellular ...
