Promote the development of classroom and standardized assessments that go beyond memorization of facts to assess connections between concepts and the ability to apply these concepts to scientific questions and problems.
As part of this research, a program of geochemical and archaeological characterization of obsidian sources and distributions is being developed, attempting to assess connections between different biogeographical contexts.
To assess connections between phenotypes and tissues, we used two different methods and provided all our results through PhenoDigm's web interface (http://www.sanger.ac.uk/resources/databases/phenodigm/; database: WTSI Mouse Genetics Project (Sanger UK); dataset: MGP Phenotyping; attributes: Adult Expression) (1).
Two types of hub connectivity were investigated across multiple brain modules (the DMN, motor system, etcetera): (1) within-module connectivity (a measure of local importance that assesses a parcel's communication level within its own subnetwork) and (2) between-module connectivity (a measure that assesses connections across multiple modules).
The discrepancy with the earlier cell-count data may reflect methodological differences, but can also be given a more systematic interpretation: that, similar to sensory cortex, the laminar patterns associated with the motor hierarchy obey the 'distance rule' (Barone et al. 2000), and are more marked when assessing connections over a larger number of levels.
The Community and Personal Support variable is a composite measure of five scales: perceived availability of social support [ 31], social networks [ 32], sense of community [ 33], community participation [ 34], and sense of place, which assesses connection with the local environment and landscape [ 35].
Since all of our lesioned animals were tested at a late phase of recovery, it remains possible that the ipsilateral corticospinal tract had transiently made a contribution to restoration of function that was lost by the time we assessed connection strength.
Another session highlighted several new tools, measures, and methods that have been developed to help reliably assess environment obesity connections, such as assessments of park characteristics, urban design walkability, and aspects of the "nutrition environments" (the quality and availability of foods, and types of food outlets in discrete settings such as schools and neighborhoods).
This lets testers quickly assess if connections have formed between cells and precisely measure the length of these connections.
To assess hydraulic connections between subcomponents of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor ITERR) diagnostic port plug, we investigated the laser welding and ablation cutting process, which can be applied to remote handling maintenance.
Sociometric analyses assess the connections between all members of each network of interest, supporting evaluation of network growth and resource exchange [ 36, 37].
