Student reactions to online tools for learning to use the Internet as a study tool: outside the comfort zone?
No full textThe Internet is a valuable source of health related information, however students are not maximising their use of this resource. A study was undertaken to see what resources were already available to help them develop the necessary skills, and to identify the elements of an
Internet study guide that were of importance to the students. An extensive search of the Internet, using a variety of search terms in Google and Yahoo located numerous study support sites. Ten focus groups were held with a total of 60 students on a variety of health and social care related courses at an English university. Rather than finding what the students were looking for
in an online study guide the research found that using an online support system took the majority of students outside of their comfort zone, resulting in them rejecting online support and expressing a preference for personal or hard copy support and materials. The way online materials are structured into courses is explored as a possible reason for these difficulties and a flow chart to help students identify resources is presented
A case of pitt-hopkins syndrome with absence of hyperventilation
No full textPitt-Hopkins syndrome is characterized by mental retardation, hyperventilation, and dysmorphic features due to TCF4 mutations. We report a case of Pitt-Hopkins syndrome in a 21-2-year-old boy presenting with psychomotor retardation, recurrent respiratory tract infections, and dysmorphic features with absence of hyperventilation or other breathing abnormalities. Comparative genomic hybridization and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction were used to confirm TCF4 haploinsufficiency. Pitt-Hopkins syndrome is a rare debilitating disease that should be in the differential diagnosis of other neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by mental retardation and hypotonicity despite the absence of hyperapnea and seizures. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction is another method to identify TCF4 and to confirm Pitt-Hopkins syndrome diagnosis.Amiel J, 2007, AM J HUM GENET, V80, P988, DOI 10.1086-515582; Brockschmidt A, 2007, HUM MOL GENET, V16, P1488, DOI 10.1093-hmg-ddm099; De Grouchy J., 1969, BIRTH DEFECTS, V5, P74; de Pontual L, 2009, HUM MUTAT, V30, P669, DOI 10.1002-humu.20935; Hasi M, 2011, HUM GENET, V130, P777, DOI 10.1007-s00439-011-1020-y; Kim SK, 2008, CARCINOGENESIS, V29, P1623, DOI 10.1093-carcin-bgn110; Lennertz L, 2011, NEUROPSYCHOBIOLOGY, V63, P131, DOI 10.1159-000317844; Maini I, 2012, J CHILD NEUROL; PITT D, 1978, AUST PAEDIATR J, V14, P182; Taddeucci G, 2010, ITAL J PEDIATR, V36, DOI 10.1186-1824-7288-36-12; Takano K, 2010, CLIN GENET, V78, P282, DOI 10.1111-j.1399-0004.2010.01380.x; Van Balkom IDC, 2012, DEV MED CHILD NEUROL, V54, P925, DOI 10.1111-j.1469-8749.2012.04339.x; Verhulst SL, 2012, AM J MED GENET A, V158A, P932, DOI 10.1002-ajmg.a.35247; Whalen S, 2012, HUM MUTAT, V33, P64, DOI 10.1002-humu.21639; Zweier C, 2009, AM J HUM GENET, V85, P655, DOI 10.1016-j.ajhg.2009.10.004; Zweier C, 2008, J MED GENET, V45, P738, DOI 10.1136-jmg.2008.06012910

Replicating Replication : Due Diligence in Roodman and Morduch’s Replication of Pitt and Khandker (1998)
No full text"The Impact of Microcredit on the
Poor in Bangladesh: Revisiting the Evidence," by David
Roodman and Jonathan Morduch (2011) is the most recent of a
sequence of papers and postings that seeks to refute the
findings of the Pitt and Khandker (1998) article "The
Impact of Group-Based Credit on Poor Households in
Bangladesh: Does the Gender of Participants Matter?"
that microcredit for women had significant, favorable
effects on poverty reduction. In this paper the authors show
that these latest Roodman and Morduch claims are based on
seriously flawed econometric methods and theory and a lack
of due diligence in formulating models and interpreting
output from packaged software. On the basis of Roodman and
Morduch's preferred two-stage least squares regression,
an alternative calculation of the standard errors would lead
one to conclude that the problem with Pitt and Khandker is
that they underestimate the positive and statistically
significant effect of women's credit on household
consumption. As in their previous efforts, the methods of
Roodman and Morduch are shown to bias the findings in the
direction of rejecting the results of Pitt and Khandker. We
also further examine two aspects of our instrumental
variable approach that have been attacked by Roodman and
Morduch. The first is the validity of the exclusion
restrictions underlying the use of interactions between
program choice and the set of exogenous variables (including
the village fixed effects) as instruments. The second is the
application of the "one-half acre" program
eligibility rule. The authors show that identification does
not require both of these, and present new results dropping
each assumption in turn. The results originally reported in
the Pitt and Khandker paper hold up extremely well in this
new analysis

Pitt Mill Demonstration
No full textResults of a technical and economic evaluation of application of the Pitt Mill to fine coal grinding are presented. The Pitt Mill is a vertically oriented, batch operated, intermediate energy density (0. 025 kW/lb media), stirred ball mill. The mill grinds coal from coarse sizes (typically 3/16 inch or 4 mesh topsize) to the 10 micron to 20 micron mean particle diameter size range in a single step using a shallow grinding bed containing inexpensive, readily available, course grinding media. Size reduction is efficient because of rapid product circulation through the grinding bed caused by action of a novel circulation screw mounted on the agitator shaft. When a dispersant is employed, the grinding can be carried out to 50% to 60% solids concentration. Use of coarse grinding media offers the possibility of enhanced mineral liberation because size reduction is achieved more by impact shattering than by attrition. The batch method offers the possibility of very close control over product particle size distribution without overproduction of fines. A two- phase program was carried out. In the first phase, Grinding Studies, tests were run to determine a suitable configuration of the Pitt Mill. Machine design parameters which were studied included screw configuration, media type, agitator RPM, time, media size, and slurry chamber aspect ratio. During the last part of this phase of the program, tests were carried out to compare the results of grinding Pocahontas seam, Pittsburgh {number sign}8, and East Kentucky Mingo County coals by the Pitt Mill and by a two-stage grinding process employing a Netzsch John mill to feed a high energy density (0.05 kW/Lb media) disc mill. 22 refs., 25 tabs
