The purpose of this study was to investigate the development of an interactive
aquarium design motivated by the employment of an innovative technology used in
scientific research. The study was informed by research on free-choice learning
describing the effects of interactive devices on visitor learning, engagement, and
attitudes. The researcher...
Controversy regarding moral development research has given rise to a proliferation of theories competing for acceptance. For all these researchers, the work of Lawrence Kohlberg is the pivot point for comparisons, contrasts, and discussions. Still, no theories to date adequately describe and document a theoretically complete conception of moral judgment...
The major historical studies that have examined American
biology have emphasized the development of experimental biology at
the end of the nineteenth century. In this characterization, the
descriptive branch of biology has often been treated as less than
important and, in several cases, as a hindrance in the application

Karl Jordan (1861-1959) was an extraordinarily productive entomologist who influenced the development of systematics, entomology, and naturalists' theoretical framework as well as their practice. He has been a figure in existing accounts of the naturalist tradition between 1890 and 1940 that have defended the relative contribution of naturalists to the...
Integration methods for enzymatic reactions were applied to
transducer response vs. time curves which exhibit maxima, minima or
inflections. The difference between the integral of the time
dependent response and the initial response, often zero, is related
to the initial enzyme activity or substrate concentration. Fluorescence response curves which exhibit...
