When Computer Technologies Meet the Learning Sciences: Issues and Opportunities

This article explores how insights from the learning sciences can guide the effective use of computer technologies to promote learning and how these technologies make new types of learning opportunities possible. The discussion is organized to provide three illustrations of how the introduction of new technologies can have “ripple effects” that influence many different aspects of the teaching a...

the effects of changing roughness on the flow structure in the bends

flow in natural river bends is a complex and turbulent phenomenon which affects the scour and sedimentations and causes an irregular bed topography on the bed. for the reason, the flow hydralics and the parameters which affect the flow to be studied and understand. in this study the effect of bed and wall roughness using the software fluent discussed in a sharp 90-degree flume bend with 40.3cm ...

Lung cancer: new opportunities--changing algorithm in staging.

The stage of the disease of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) should be evaluated according to the extent of the primary tumour (T-stage) as well as the spread to regional or distant lymph nodes (N-stage) or organs (M-stage). The TNM staging system is still the best predictor for prognosis and has the most influence on the selection of a tailored therapy. In general, surgery is t...
