The authors argue that design-based research, which blends empir- ical educational research with the theory-driven design of learning environments, is an important methodology for understanding how, when, and why educational innovations work in…

OBJECTIVE: To define outcomes research in terms of a paradigm, grouping six existing research methodologies. BACKGROUND: Although outcomes research is becoming an increasingly popular area in clinical research, an accepted definition is difficult to…

The field of biology is becoming increasingly interdisciplinary and cross-cutting. This changing research atmosphere is creating the way for a new kind of enquiry that while building upon the traditional research establishment is providing a new…

Contemporary knowledge of impressive neurophysiology and behavior in cetaceans, combined with increasing opportunities for studying free-ranging cetaceans who initiate sociable interaction with humans, are converging to highlight serious ethical…

This paper considers the literature on the determinants of urban womens health through a political economy perspective. This approach is concerned with how society organizes and distributes social and economic resources. These distributions of…

MicroRNAs (miRNA) are a class of naturally occurring, small, noncoding RNAs that function as specific repressors of protein-encoding genes, being pivotal regulators of development and cellular homeostasis. They have been functionally classified as…

A new control paradigm for Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs) is proposed. BCIs provide a means of communication direct from the brain to a computer that allows individuals with motor disabilities an additional channel of communication and control of…
