Learning management systems capture student’s interactions with the course contents in the form of event logs, including the order in which resources are accessed. We build on past research which indicates there are learning benefits if students determine their own ordering of use of learning materials. We report our exploration of sequential data mining that aims to help teachers determine whe...

In the Case Report "Early Controlled Motion Following Flexor Tendon Graft" (July 1988), the authors gave an excellent overview of the physio­ logical rationale for early controlled motion. I must express my concern, however, at their conclusion as stated: "The good functional results achieved suggest that a rehabilitation regimen consisting of the palmar pulley sys­ tem, a PIP joint block, and ...

commercialization as one of the key steps in the process of innovation development transfers the findings of research and patents to market. more importantly, several factors and components influence the process of commercialization development which are necessary to be studied and identified. considering the importance of the subject, this descriptive- survey study is aimed to investigate comp...

Microfluidic devices offer automation and high-throughput screening, and operate at low volumes of consumables. Although microfluidics has the potential to reduce turnaround times and costs for analytical devices, particularly in medical, veterinary, and environmental sciences, this enabling technology has had limited diffusion into consumer products. This article analyzes the microfluidics mar...
