The writing skills of undergraduate Information Technology (IT) students concern many educators (Utley, 1998, cited in Tench, 2001). This paper examines the relationship between students' business writing results and their technical computing papers results. Some unexpected findings are presented highlighting the need for the inclusion of a writing paper in an IT degree.

S ome vertebrates, such as fi sh, amphibians, and lizards, have the ability to replace lost limbs and regenerate organs. Regeneration requires the reactivation of signaling molecules that were used during embryonic development. Weidinger has spent his career so far studying aspects of zebrafish embryogenesis, including the role of Wnt signaling molecules (1, 2), and has more recently been inves...

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,-For upwards of forty years I have lived the busy life of a general practitioner attached to a small hospital in a provincial town. This demanded all my attention and most of my energies, but somehow within the last few years, I have been pitchforked into the arena of medical politics, and in that field great honours have been bestowed upon me. The very greatest of these -t...

Prior studies of internal control disclosures under the 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) provide limited evidence on the impact of internal control regulation on reporting quality. Moreover, there is no empirical evidence on the reporting quality effects of mandatory internal control reforms in non-U.S. environments. Thus, it is still an open question whether internal control regulation leads to s...

Introduction: Citation analysis is a suitable way to help us to identify research trends within a specific topic. The purpose of this study was to identify the 100 most cited articles in the field of dentistry published over the past 67 years. Methods: A comprehensive list of the most cited articles in dentistry was compiled using ISI Web of Science. The characteristics including number of cita...

Magnetostatic Maxwell equations and the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation are combined to a multiscale method, which allows to extend the problem size of traditional micromagnetic simulations. By means of magnetostatic Maxwell equations macroscopic regions can be handled in an averaged and stationary sense, whereas the LLG allows to accurately describe domain formation as well as magnetiza...
