Almost as helpful as good theory: Some conceptual possibilities for the online classroom
No full textInterest and activity in the use of C&IT in higher education is growing, and while there is effort to understand the complexity of the transition to virtual space, aspects of development, particularly clarity about the nature of the learning community, may only be lightly theorized. Based on an ongoing action research study involving postgraduate students studying in the UK and USA, this paper will identify some theoretical roots and derive from these six conceptual areas that seem to the authors to have relevance and significance for behaviour online. An exploration of these forms the basis for a two‐dimensional model which can account for what happens when groups come together to learn in cyberspace. In depicting this model, there is acknowledgement of the existence of third and fourth dimensions at work. However, the explanatory power of taking these extra dimensions into account is beyond the scope of the analysis thus far

Genetic variability of innate immunity impacts human susceptibility to fungal diseases
No full textAbstractFungi are a major threat in immunocompromised patients. Despite presenting similar degrees of immunosuppression, not all individuals at-risk ultimately develop fungal diseases. The traditional view of immune suppression as a key risk factor for susceptibility to fungal infections needs to be accommodated within new conceptual advances on host immunity and its relationship to fungal disease. The critical role of the immune system emphasizes the contribution of host genetic polymorphisms to fungal disease susceptibility. This review highlights the present knowledge on innate immunity genetics that associates with susceptibility to fungal diseases

All forests are not equal: population demographics and denning behaviour of a recovering small carnivore in human modified landscapes
No full textLandscapes occupied by recovering carnivore populations in Europe are highly modified by human activity. It is unclear how recovering predators will adapt and sustain populations in highly altered landscapes, with most existing research focused on large carnivores. To address this we contrast population demographics and denning behaviour of a small carnivore, the pine marten Martes martes, in a semi-natural wooded landscape and a human-modified landscape with limited forest cover composed of conifer plantation, using radio-telemetry on 20 free-ranging individuals in Northern Ireland. In the semi-natural landscape, martens selected old growth, native forest making almost exclusive use of arboreal dens in living trees and standing deadwood. Martens persisted in the human-modified landscape but with lower population density and recruitment, with a male-biased sex ratio. In the human-modified landscape martens denned in marginal habitats such as scrub, heath and property boundaries, while making use of subterranean or man-made structures for dens in response to a lack of above ground denning opportunities. We demonstrate landscape change-induced differences in behaviour and population structure in a recovering carnivore. The results highlight the importance of evaluating the availability of denning sites in carnivore conservation and provide valuable management considerations, key to mitigating human–wildlife conflict as carnivores continue to recover and recolonise Europe

The assessment of therapeutic response of oropharyngeal and oesophageal candidiasis in AIDS using a new scoring system: studies with D0870.
No full textWe developed and compared five scoring systems designed to quantitate therapeutic response in cases of oropharyngeal candidiasis. We utilized prospectively collected data on 114 patients treated with several doses of the azole D0870. Patients were infected with fluconazole-susceptible (n = 49) or-resistant organisms (MIC, ≥16 mg/mL; n = 61). Patients with fluconazole resistance had lower CD4+ cell counts at baseline; more symptoms (P = .0006); a higher frequency of dysgeusia (P = .004), dysphagia (P = .006), and throat pain (P = .0034); and greater oral coverage by plaques of Candida. There was no difference between the two groups in terms of colony-forming units, and any change did not correlate with response to therapy. Resolution of dysphagia (P < .01) and oral pain (P < .01) correlated well with response to therapy, unlike retrosternal pain and throat pain, which were also less frequent. Xerostomia, a “furry” taste, and dysgeusia were frequent nonspecific symptoms. Scoring system C, weighting resolution of a symptom higher than absence of a symptom at baseline, yielded the best correlation with global outcome (r = 0.86) and allows the quantitation of incomplete but clinically beneficial responses to therapy
Measuring the strength of information flows in programs
No full textDynamic information flow analysis (DIFA) was devised to enable the flow of information among variables in an executing program to be monitored and possibly regulated. It is related to techniques like dynamic slicing and dynamic impact analysis. To better understand the basis for DIFA, we conducted an empirical study in which we measured the strength of information flows identified by DIFA, using information theoretic and correlation-based methods. The results indicate that in most cases the occurrence of a chain of dynamic program dependences between two variables does not indicate a measurable information flow between them. We also explored the relationship between the strength of an information flow and the length of the corresponding dependence chain, and we obtained results indicating that no consistent relationship exists between the length of an information flow and its strength. Finally, we investigated whether data dependence and control dependence makes equal or unequal contributions to flow strength. The results indicate that flows due to data dependences alone are stronger, on average, than flows due to control dependences alone. We present the details of our study and consider the implications of the results for applications of DIFA and related techniques. © 2009 ACM.AGRAWAL H, 1990, SIGPLAN NOTICES, V25, P246; APIWATTANAPONG T, 2005, P INT C SOFTW ENG ST; Binkley D, 2004, IEEE T SOFTWARE ENG, V30, P715, DOI 10.1109-TSE.2004.78; Bishop M., 2002, COMPUTER SECURITY AR; Box G.E.P., 2005, STAT EXPT DESIGN INN; CLARK D, 2001, P QUANT ASP PROGR LA; CLARK D, 2004, P IFIP WG 1 7 ACM SI; Clause J., 2007, P INT S SOFTW TEST A; Cover TM, 1991, ELEMENTS INFORM THEO; Dallmeier V., 2006, P 4 INT WORKSH DYN A; Denning D.
