Beyond Lesson Studies and Design Experiments: Using theoretical tools in practice and finding out how they work
Get PDFThis paper aims to illustrate how fruitful insights into the link between school teaching practice and student learning outcomes can be theoretically grounded by the variation theory from the field of phenomenography; and from this framework demonstrate how a 'pedagogy of awareness' can be implemented in the classroom. In this study, five teachers and 162 students at Primary Four level of school education in Hong Kong participated and the practice of the 'learning study' was adopted. By comparing the results of pre- and posttests, a significant gain was observed in the students learning outcomes.
Why Do We Need to Coordinate When Classifying Kin?
No full textWe suggest that there are two coordination games when it comes to understanding kin terminology. Jones’ article focuses on the linguistic coordination inherent in developing meaningful kin terminologies, alluding briefly to the benefits of these kin terminologies for coordination in other domains. We enhance Jones’ discussion by tracing the links between the structure of kin terminologies and their functions.Open peer commentary on: Jones, Doug.

PacBio Sequencing and Its Applications
No full textSingle-molecule, real-time sequencing developed by Pacific BioSciences offers longer read lengths than the second-generation sequencing (SGS) technologies, making it well-suited for unsolved problems in genome, transcriptome, and epigenetics research. The highly-contiguous de novo assemblies using PacBio sequencing can close gaps in current reference assemblies and characterize structural variation (SV) in personal genomes. With longer reads, we can sequence through extended repetitive regions and detect mutations, many of which are associated with diseases. Moreover, PacBio transcriptome sequencing is advantageous for the identification of gene isoforms and facilitates reliable discoveries of novel genes and novel isoforms of annotated genes, due to its ability to sequence full-length transcripts or fragments with significant lengths. Additionally, PacBio’s sequencing technique provides information that is useful for the direct detection of base modifications, such as methylation. In addition to using PacBio sequencing alone, many hybrid sequencing strategies have been developed to make use of more accurate short reads in conjunction with PacBio long reads. In general, hybrid sequencing strategies are more affordable and scalable especially for small-size laboratories than using PacBio Sequencing alone. The advent of PacBio sequencing has made available much information that could not be obtained via SGS alone

Kin Selection
Get PDFA foundational component of social evolution theory and a broader view of natural selection where fitness effects on genetic relatives are explicitly accounted for. Kin selection is particularly well known as an explanation for the evolution of altruism: a trait that is costly to its bearer can spread in a population if it has beneficial effects on relatives, because relatives have a higher than average chance of carrying genes for that trait themselves
FAI face à l’anonymat sur Internet
No full textLe fournisseur d’accès à Internet (FAI) est juridiquement et techniquement impliqué dans l’anonymat de la communication au public en ligne et garantit les utilisateurs de l’Internet d’une circulation neutre de l’information. Toutefois, le FAI a une position stratégique dans la lutte contre les infractions pouvant s’accomplir sur Internet puisqu’il maîtrise une partie des informations d’identification des internautes et est l’intermédiaire à la fourniture de services en ligne.

Innovative High Temperature Fuel Cell systems
No full textThe world's energy consumption is growing extremely rapidly. Fuel cell systems are of interest by researchers and industry as the more efficient alternative to conventional thermal systems for power generation. The principle of fuel cell conversion does not involve thermal combustion and hence in theory fuel cell systems can be far more efficient than thermal power systems. This advantage is only partly utilized in present fuel cell pilot plants and additional optimization is needed. The complexity of fuel cell systems makes the optimization process anything but simple. This thesis presents the results of studies to understand the complex interactions between the different segments of a fuel cell system, and it presents additional insights into the fundamental aspects of the fuel cell conversions. Theories are presented and tested in practical situations with the objective of generating innovative ideas for future high temperature fuel cell systems.Applied Science
