The objective of this PhD research project is to examine the influence of EA’s affective expressions on students’ learning motivation, enjoyment and learning efficacy in an IL game. This project combines the concepts of digital game-based learning and affective embodied agents to information literacy education, by using Kuhlthau’s Information Search Process Model as a theoretical framework. In ...

During the course of study for the Graduate Certificate of Education (Tertiary Teaching) we participated in a seminar about Problem Based Learning (PBL) and were asked to write a piece of assessment about this topic. I struggled long and hard with PBL and came up with a fairly mediocre piece of work to be assessed. This led me to an interest in PBL itself and, to the writing of this general ove...

In instance-based learning the classification of a novel instance relies upon experience given in the form of similar instances whose labels are already known. Each of these instances can hence be seen as an individual piece of evidence. In this paper, we elaborate on issues concerning the representation and combination of such pieces of evidence. Particularly, we argue that the information pro...

After hypoxia, a critical adverse outcome is the inability to create new memories. How anterograde amnesia develops or resolves remains elusive, but a link to brain-based IL-1 is suggested due to the vital role of IL-1 in both learning and brain injury. We examined memory formation in mice exposed to acute hypoxia. After reoxygenation, memory recall recovered faster than memory formation, impac...

Shiga toxins (Stxs) are bacterial virulence factors produced by Shigella dysenteriae serotype 1 and Escherichia coli strains. Stxs are critical factors for the development of diseases such as severe bloody diarrhea and hemolytic uremic syndrome. Additionally, Stxs trigger the secretion of pro- inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, particularly in monocytes or macrophages. The inflammatory cyto...

Net4voice è un progetto attraverso il quale si vogliono sperimentare nuove modalità di apprendimento che possano agevolare la diffusione dei patrimoni informativi, rendendoli universalmente accessibili. Le tecnologie di riconoscimento vocale sono rivolte innanzitutto agli studenti diversamente abili, in particolare a coloro che hanno difficoltà a prendere appunti oppure che hanno problemi di ud...

English. Code-mixing is the alternation between two or more languages in the same text. This phenomenon is very relevant in the travel domain, since it can provide new insight in the way foreign cultures are perceived and described to the readers. In this paper, we analyse EnglishItalian code-mixing in historical English travel writings about Italy. We retrain and compare two existing systems f...

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is caused byMycobacterium tuberculosis in susceptible humans. Here, we infected Diversity Outbred (DO) mice with ∼100 bacilli by aerosol to model responses in a highly heterogeneous population. Following infection, ‘supersusceptible’, ‘susceptible’ and ‘resistant’ phenotypes emerged. TB disease (reduced survival, weight loss, high bacterial load) correlated strongly ...
