This article explores commercial, academic, and national initiatives aimed at usingsequencing technologies to generate “actionable” genomic results that can beapplied to the clinical management of oncology patients. We argue that the term“actionable” is not merely a buzzword, but signals the…

Researchers and clinicians in the field of oncology have now entered the second decadeof targeted therapy, widely held to be a revolutionary new form of cancer therapyresearch. The present era is regarded as the end of brute empiricism: as laboratoryresearchers…

This article traces the history of research on resistance to drug therapy in oncology using scientometric techniques and qualitative analysis. Using co-citation analysis, we generate maps to visualize subdomains in resistance research in two time periods, 1975–1990 and 1995–2010. These…

In contemporary organizations, it is common to encounter teams that are formed to create novel outcomes and that are supported by Information Communication Technologies (ICT). These knowledge teams are also formed by members with diverse expertise, in order to create…

This inquiry sought to examine the effects of participating in an online discussion forum on the development of knowledge for teaching mathematics. The participants of this study were among the pre-service teachers from a large urban university, chosen as they…

In wireless communications, the broadcast nature can be explored to efficiently support multicast services while the difference in channel gains among the wireless links of users promotes multiuser diversity which can be used to improve multicast performance. This thesis proposes…

This work examines the patterns inherent to the understanding of the nature of the forbidden fruit in an attempt to demonstrate parallels between the reasoning of biblical interpreters, on one hand, and of artists, on the other., While the biblical…

It has been proposed that forms of dialogue (Keegan, 1993) are differentially related to subject knowledge possessed by the student and the roles that teachers and students play within those dialogues. A reading of the socio-constructivist literature suggests that maximal…

This thesis proposes a knowledge based expert system tool that can be used as an on- line controller for the charging/discharging of an energy storage system in a wind-diesel microgrid. The wind-diesel microgrid is modelled, and a typical energy storage…

In reasoning about multi-agent systems, it is important to look beyond the realm of propositional logic and to reason about the knowledge of agents within the system, as what they know about the environment will affect how they behave. A…
