This article provides an overview of initial discussions emerging from the Creative Methods Network, an informal organisation concerned with the use of the creative arts in research, teaching and practice in health and social care. Key issues are presented and…

Spanish conquistador Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca and British explorer John Smith went to the New World for different reasons but both shared the experience of being a captive to the Native Americans. After their return to Europe, both of…

The study of liquid metallic alloys using first principles Molecular Dynamic (MD) requires the knowledge of the liquid phase density that is not easy to obtain experimentally. In this work we calculate the densities for the liquid phase of eutectic…

P>1. A key aspect of the ecology and evolution of adaptive prey responses to predator risk is the timing by which the former develop a defensive trait in response to inducing signals released by the latter. This property, called reactivity,…

We updated the floristic checklist of the Nizanda region, Isthmus of Tehuantepec (southern Mexico), characterized the occurring plant communities based on dominant species, and described the region's flora according to life form, growth form, growth type, and growth habit spectra.…

This thesis will explore the design and optimization of a peer-to-peer network application as a solution to complex content management problems. Currently, most content management systems are expensive, cumbersome and inflexible custom solutions that require knowledge workers to change their…

The aim of this paper has been that of revising and updating research about expertise development in sport under the cognitive psychology approach. At first, the structure of sport action in open contexts is analysed, differentiating cognitive and execution components.…

An analysis was conducted to determine the behavior of a high pressure electric arc discharge inside the Plasmatron Fuel Reformer. The Plasmatron Fuel Reformer uses an electric arc to partially combust fuel in an internal combustion engine to increase efficiency…

The development of ICTs (Information and Communication Technologies) and their application in Engineering Education (in a knowledge-centered world) is one of the axes of an ongoing educative transformation. In particular, when the objective is updating professionals and training the industrial…

Recent advances in biology have afforded scientists with the knowledge that polysaccharides play an active role in modulating cellular activities. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are one such family of polysaccharides that play a very important role in regulating the functions of numerous…
