Sansone, S.-A. et al. The first RSBI (ISA-TAB) workshop: "Can a simple format work for complex studies?" OMICS published online, doi 10.1089/omi.2008.0019 (2008).
In this step, we initially screened study abstracts using these criteria and subsequently obtained full-text formats for studies deemed relevant.
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) in combination with magnetic nanoparticles, in a core@shell format, were studied for selective detection of 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB), a powerful allergenic substance.
Different exchange formats for study data are being developed: Standard for Exchange of Nonclinical Data (SEND; www.cdisc.org); Tox-ML (www.Leadscope.com) and Simple Investigation Formatted Text (SIFT) from the NIEHS.
The first examination format studied is the five-option MCQ (see Appendix A for example).
Hours are adjusted proportionately for other formats of study, e.g., laboratory, studio, research, problem-based learning, and independent study.
As established by the Faculty, the Independent Activities Period (IAP) is a four-week intersession in January during which faculty and students have time for flexibility in teaching and learning formats, for incorporating independent study and research into the overall educational experience, and for concentration on intensive subjects within the regular curriculum.
Yet no conclusive results exist with respect to the suitability of alternative answer formats for typical constructs studied in this field.
As a result of the aforementioned rationale, an XML based format has been created within this study for storing BSPMs.
The course format for the study included little peer-group work since it primarily used lectures and ALEKS practice.
