Selected Styles in Web-based Educational Research:

Selected Styles in Web-based Educational Research

Product Description

Web-based teaching has become ubiquitous in education and training departments around the world. Yet, few believe the Web to be a total solution to education. Simple provision of software management tools does not guarantee continuous student collaboration.Also, the current status of online collaborative environments does not match the variety of interactions and discussion in a classroom, and self-paced learning has a long history of student attrition due to the huge motivational investment required on the part of the student. For these reasons, Selected Styles in Web-Based Educational Research targets a large contingent of knowledgeable skeptics for whom Web-based teaching and learning has become an object of study. It is intended for prospective Web teachers and trainers interested in conducting Web-based educational research, and helps define style in educational research methodology.

Handbook of Research on Contemporary Theoretical Models in Information Systems:

Handbook of Research on Contemporary Theoretical Models in Information Systems

Product Description

Theory is considered to be the bedrock of academic research, often being viewed as the foundation upon which scientific enquiry is organized and built. Despite its ubiquity throughout information systems research, there is much that remains unknown about theory. The Handbook of Research on Contemporary Theoretical Models in Information Systems provides a comprehensive overview and coverage of various theories, models, and related approaches used within information systems research. A defining collection of field advancements, this Handbook of Research offers examples and descriptions of real-world applications of various theories based on empirical studies.

EU COST C13 Glass and In Building Envelopes – Final Report: Volume 1 Research in Architectural Engineering Series:

EU COST C13 Glass and In Building Envelopes - Final Report: Volume 1 Research in Architectural Engineering Series

Product Description

The main objective of the COST Action C13 was to increase the knowledge of properties and possibilities of glazing in order to increase the performance of building envelopes, to reduce the energy consumption and to improve the quality of life with respect to interiorspace, impact on the environment and human welfare. This collection of papers presented at meetings and workshops of the COST C13 working groups 1 (Architectural Aspects and Design Integration), 2 (Quality of Interior Space) and 3 (Structural Aspects of Glass) are the result of 5 years of exchange of ideas, experiences and know-how between members, delegates and experts. It represents the body of knowledge from a restricted but representative group of professionals in Europe on the subject of glass building envelopes. The Steel Structures Laboratory at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (CH) and the research group ‘Facades & Systems’ of the Faculty of Architecture at Delft University of Technology (NL) have taken the initiative to publish these COST C13 papers in order to disseminate the knowledge to the world of glass facade professionals and to contribute to the development of a new generation of high-performance glass building envelopes.

Clinical Diabetes Research: Methods and Techniques:

Clinical Diabetes Research: Methods and Techniques

Product Description

Clinical trials in populations at risk of or with overt diabetes mellitus are being performed all around the world to test novel drugs and approaches to managing these diseases. During the last decade, new methods and techniques have been introduced – and are being developed further – that facilitate monitoring of metabolism and even diagnosis of certain defects in human metabolism. While some of these methods are restricted to research facilities, others are already used in clinical practice. The correct beneficial use of these methods requires knowledge of the nature of the techniques and their clinical relevance.

Clinical Diabetes Research: Methods and Techniques provides summaries of established state-of-the art-techniques and introduces the new technologies, evaluating their potential in clinical diabetes research. One section compares the efficacy of all metabolic tests that measure insulin action. Another section describes methods that allow quantification of whole body and intracellular metabolic fluxes relevant to diabetes research. The final section focuses on the planning and pitfalls of clinical studies in the field of metabolism. Each chapter throughout the book combines the theoretical basis of the approach with practical recommendations. There are further chapters on the design of clinical trials and ethical considerations.

The publication is timely in view of the impressive development of the methods and techniques with their application to understanding the pathophysiology of diabetes, insulin resistance syndromes, obesity, and the metabolic effects of treatment.

Clinical Diabetes Research: Methods and Techniques is of great relevance for researchers (from students and post-docs to principal investigators) in the field of human metabolism, clinical endocrinologists and diabetologists who are involved in clinical studies.
