Our ultimate goal was to obtain a mechanistic understanding in the form of a mathematical model.
In a pilot study the Norwegian version was tested on a sample of 78 final year Norwegian medical students, with no one reporting difficulties in understanding the questions or filling in the form (Gude, T., personal communication).
"For the most part I purposely avoided power saws because I felt they were a shortcut," he said, "and they didn't assist in understanding what I was doing, in understanding the form".
He said he had yet to see "Pamina Devi" but hoped Ms. Shapiro would ground her work in a clear understanding of the form.
Recently, the focus has been shifted to understanding genetic differences in the form of short sequence fragments or structural rearrangements (rather than variation at the single nucleotide level).
A key issue in understanding the form and function of a network is to establish membership boundaries, because including peripheral individuals who are not really part of the group can significantly alter how we describe the network.
These results have potential to allow for more detailed taphonomic reconstructions and contribute to a more nuanced understanding of fossil preservation in the form of soft-tissues structures and biomolecules.
We believe students should be able to transfer understanding to a higher level in the form of a "learning progression" or spiral curriculum (Bruner, 1960; Mayer, 2002; National Assessment of Educational Progress [NAEP], 2006; National Research Council [NRC], 2006; Smith et al., 2006; Duschl et al., 2007; Anderson and Schonborn, 2008; Schonborn and Anderson, 2008).
The work is helpful in understanding the forming process of a complex fracture network during hydraulic fracturing in unconventional reservoirs.
If unbalanced and ladderized trees are prone to be misinterpreted, then museums should avoid them, or otherwise include further resources for understanding them, such as additional information in the form of pamphlets, computer programs, interactive touch screens, and even websites.
He defines them as "a routinised type of behaviour which consists of several elements, interconnected to one another: forms of bodily activities, forms of mental activities, 'things', and their use, a background knowledge in the form of understanding, know-how, states of emotion and motivational knowledge" [35].
