Learning Analytics Dashboards (LAD) provide a means to leverage data to support learners, teachers, and counselors. This paper reports on an in-depth analysis of how learners interact with a LAD. N=1,406 first-year students in 12 different study programs were invited to use a LAD to support them in their transition from secondary to higher education. The LAD provides actionable feedback about f...

OBJECTIVE To delineate the clinical behaviour of chronic benign neutropenia in Chinese children in Hong Kong. DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING University teaching hospital, Hong Kong. PATIENTS All infants and children with absolute neutrophil count of 1.5 x 10(9) /L or lower for more than 3 months. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Development of significant infection, and achievement of remissi...

Axial analysis is one of the fundamentals of space syntax. Hillier has proposed that it picks up qualities of configurational relationships between spaces not illuminated by other representations. However, critics have questioned the absolute necessity of axial lines to space syntax, as well as the exact definition of axial lines. An often asked question is: why not another representation? In p...

An experiment was conducted to determine whether a commercial strain of turkey hens exhibits relative photorefractoriness (rPR) during a reproductive cycle and to ascertain whether plasma levels of certain hormones early in the reproductive cycle might be associated with subsequent expression of rPR or absolute photorefractoriness (aPR). Twenty-seven percent of hens maintained on a stimulatory ...

chemical hardness (), absolute electronegativity (), and electrophilicity () have importantapplications in inorganic chemistry. these concepts are defined quantitatively as � � �� � ����,� � �� � ����, � � ������where i is the ionization energy and a is the electron affinity. in thisstudy, graphical method was used to see the relation of electron configuration with chemicalhardness, absolute...

In this paper we use the results of our previous work [FT] in order to compute the phase of the torsion of an Euler structure ξ in terms of the characteristic class c(ξ). Also, we introduce here a new notion of an absolute torsion, which does not require a choice of any additional topological information (like an Euler structure). We prove that in the case of closed 3-manifolds obtained by 0-su...

There are two alternative pathways by which inverted repeat sequences in supercoiled DNA molecules may extrude cruciform structures, called C-type and S-type. S-type cruciforms, which form the great majority, are characterised by absolute requirement for cations to promote extrusion, which then proceeds at higher temperatures and with lower activation parameters than for C-type cruciforms. The ...
