The aim of this study is to determine the obstacles that students face at The University of Jordan when using wireless Internet technology. In addition, the aim of this study is to determine any statistically significant differences in student perceptions of the obstacles faced when employing wireless Internet technology regarding their gender and university educational level. A stratified samp...

Educational technology advances quickly, with new tools and services becoming available. Consequently, users are always trying to keep pace with these new developments. Technology discussions are often most influenced by the needs of experts, since these users are more likely to be the pioneers of new technology. In this paper, we report data from a universitywide survey of faculty, teaching as...

Farnesyltransferase has been regarded as a promising drug target against cancer as it is critical for membrane association of several signal transduction proteins. In this study, a novel farnesyltransferase inhibitor (IMB-1406) was identified through virtual screening. It exhibits stronger potency (IC50s: 6.92-8.99 μM) than Sunitinib against all of the tested cancer cell lines. Preliminary stud...

A presentation of new educational methods was organized for students and teachers of the Faculty of Medicine in Mostar in 2006. Afterwards, the teachers and the students were given a questionnaire to fill on their attitude towards actual, traditional versus new educational methods. According to the results of the questionnaire, a lot of students and the majority of teachers prefer status quo, a...

The use of games in educational contexts is a highly popular subject of discussion among game scholars, educators and legislators alike. And although the potential of games as educational tools has been evangelized with varied intensity for a long time, examples of successful executions of the concept are still sparse. This has been attributed to many different factors, for example an inherent ...

Viral diversity is a challenge to the development of a hepatitis C virus (HCV) vaccine. Following vaccination of humans with adenoviral vectors, we determined the capacity of T cells to target common viral variants at immundominant epitopes ex vivo. We identified two major variants for epitopes NS3(1073) and NS3(1446), and multiple variants for epitope NS3(1406) that occurred in >5% of genotype...

The main focus of this article is on the perceptions of educational practitioners (at the lower secondary level) regarding obstacles that seriously impede the realization of ICT-related goals of schools. The results are from a worldwide survey among national representative samples of schools from 26 countries. The article contains a short summary of the design of this project, a review of main ...

The Cs symmetric methylgermyl radical, H2GeCH3(X A0), and its D5-isotopomer were detected via infrared spectroscopy in electron-irradiated methane – germane matrices via the m6 mode at 839 cm 1 and the m12 absorption at 1406 cm . ExperimentswithD4-germane –D4-methanematrices also detected absorptions from theD5-methylgermyl species upon electron exposure at 624 cm 1 (m7) and 1406 cm 1 (m3) orig...
