Actor Network Theory (ANT) is explored as a useful tool in researching the intersection of English teaching and Information Communication Technologies (ICTs), to understand the complex interaction of influences, both human and non-human, that combine to achieve a particular outcome, in this case the uptake of ICTs by English teachers in an Australian school.

regs work? This question has preoccupied and perplexed T cell biologists for nearly two decades (Tang and Bluestone, 2008; Vignali et al., 2008; Workman et al., 2009). As with all important questions, there are some issues where there is a general consensus and others where there is still considerable disagreement. I would venture that most would agree with the following four basic tenets relat...

Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation is an effective treatment for a number of malignant and nonmalignant diseases (Applebaum. 2001. Nature. 411: 385-389 and Copelan. 2006. N Engl J Med. 354: 1813-1826).

The psychoanalytic treatment of schizophrenia has had a long and controversial history. Freud and his more orthodox followers felt that schizophrenics were not suitable for psychoanalysis.

For decades the dominant treatment model, the ...

Between April 1960 and September 1964, 79 patients were treated with implanted pacemakers. We record here the technical difficulties encountered and the steps taken to overcome them. In all cases the indication for artificial pacing was failure of medical treatment to prevent Stokes-Adams attacks or to relieve cardiac failure due to a slow pulse. Most, but not all, patients were in complete hea...
