From humble beginnings in the Sixties chemoinformatics evolved into a scientific field of its own. Without the achievements of chemoinformatics the flood of information in chemistry would simply not be manageable and modern research in chemistry and related fields would be inconceivable. However, there are still a host of problems waiting for solutions to be found or to be improved. The impact ...

Achievements in games are assumed to be extrinsic motivators yet this has not been shown to be the case experimentally. This study attempts to determine whether achievements exhibit characteristics more closely related to intrinsic or extrinsic motivators. An experiment was conducted in order to examine the effects of Achievements in a controlled environment. It was found that Achievements show...

The 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry awarded to Eric Betzig, Stefan W. Hell, and William E. Moerner "for the development of superresolved fluorescence microscopy" can be seen as a combined prize for single-molecule detection and superresolution imaging. Neurons, arguably the most morphologically complex cell type, are the subject of choice for this application, now generically called "nanoscopy."

The Van Wyk Prize is the Lawson Wilkins Pediatric Endocrine Society (LPWES)’s most prestigious award in recognition of outstanding career achievement by a member in the field of pediatric endocrinology. This award, established in honor of Judson J. Van Wyk, M.D., stands in tribute to an outstanding leader who has displayed a career of scientific excellence, leadership and dedication to the heal...

This document is the ACI SATIN mid-term report. It presents the joint activities of the research teams involved, in the framework of the project: in particular for the development of formal models and tools, and the study of the same applications under different approaches. Besides presenting the achievements/evolution of the various project tasks, we also give some perspectives.

introduction: one of the most important problems in student's education is academic failure. identifying factors that affecting academic achievement and pay attention to these factors is a stride toward success. students' academic achievement and related factors have priority in education research. this study aimed to determine the relationship between learning study strategies and ac...

Background/Context: Although there is substantial evidence that high-quality professional development can improve teacher practices, less evidence exists for the effects of teacher professional development on intermediate outcomes, such as teacher practices, and their ultimate effects on K–12 student achievement. This work links professional development through teacher practices to examine thei...

The status of BaBar experiment is described after 4 years of run together with some of its physics achievements, future plans, possible physics goals toward the end of the present decade and upgrades to the detector are discussed.
