Over forty years ago, Jerome Bruner proposed a radically new theory of education, that "...any subject can be taught effectively in some intellectually honest form to any child at any stage of development." [1]. While many have disputed the more extreme claims attached to that hypothesis, it is anadmirable goal, though one difficult to achieve. One way to implement this theory is through the “s...

This position paper gives an overview of model-based testing and discusses how it might fit into the proposed grand challenge for a

Computational prediction of reaction outcomes and optimum synthetic routes was a two-day meeting and workshop organised by the EPSRC Dial-a-molecule grand challenge network. Forty delegates discussed computer predictions of synthetic routes and reactions, and considered their relevance to contemporary chemistry.

Education and Work online at: New and unprecedented standards for mathematical and computation literacy have emerged for the nation’s workforce. Generated by the science-intensive and digitally driven global economy, today’s careers in health science, engineering, value added manufacturing, and nano-fabrication require advanced mathematics. The importance of mathematical and computational compe...

This paper discusses the concept of information market. The authors of this paper have been involved in several aspects of information retrieval research. In continuing this research tradition we now take a wider perspective on this field and re-position it as a market where demand for information meets supply for information. The paper starts by exploring the notion of a market in general and ...

We compared the effects of escape extinction (EE) plus noncontingent reinforcement (NCR) with sensory integration therapy as treatment for the feeding problems of 2 children. Results indicated that EE plus NCR was more effective in increasing acceptance, decreasing inappropriate behavior, and increasing amount consumed relative to sensory integration for both children. The results are discussed...
