In 2011 senior managers at a UK electricity distribution company faced a training and assessment challenge that would have been very difficult to address using conventional methods. This paper describes the challenge they faced and the reasons for using the Construed Antonym Realization Exercise (CARE) generation methodology to create Multiple Alternative Choice (MAC) test items as part of the ...

Multiple Choice Questions or MCQs are very important for e-learning. Many MCQ Tools allow us to generate MCQs very easily. However, in most of the cases they are not portable. That means MCQs generated for one system cannot be used for other unless a common format is used. So, collaboration and/or up gradation becomes a time consuming tedious task. In this paper, we will examine how a tool coul...

Finding the minimum energy amino acid side-chain conformation is a fundamental problem in both homology modeling and protein design. To address this issue, numerous computational algorithms have been proposed. However, there have been few quantitative comparisons between methods and there is very little general understanding of the types of problems that are appropriate for each algorithm. Here...
