The Independent Evaluation of the Science Teachers Initiative (CASCITI): Year 1 Report
This evaluation describes the CSP’s work since from 2001-02 to 2003-04 and assesses whether it met its goals under CASCITI. This chapter first outlines the CSP’s background to enable the…

Automatic Dialog Act Segmentation and Classification in Multiparty Meetings
We explore the two related tasks of dialog act (DA) segmentation and DA classification for speech from the ICSI Meeting Corpus. We employ simple lexical and prosodic knowledge sources, and…

Fostering Collaboration with a Semantic Index over Textual Contributions
We are exploring new approaches to facilitating effective collaboration that remove or reduce common barriers and that exploit opportunities to encourage more effective collaboration, including transcending the cognitive biases of…

An Introduction to Padi Task Templates (Padi Technical Report 3)
Principled Assessment Designs for Inquiry (PADI) is a project supported by the National Science Foundation to improve the assessment of inquiry in science learning.
-
Style consistent classification of isogenous patterns
In many applications of pattern recognition, patterns appear together in groups (fields) that have a common origin.

Foundations And Opportunities For An Interdisciplinary Science Of Learning
In this chapter, we argue that the learning sciences are poised for a “decade of synergy.” We focus on several key traditions of theory and research with the potential for…

Identifying Candidate Genes Using The BioWarehouse: A Case Study
The BioWarehouse is an open source data warehousing environment focused on supporting bioinformatics databases (DBs). BioWarehouse integrates public source DBs such as Swiss-Prot and GenBank into a unified normalized schema…

The complete genome sequence of Francisella tularensis, the causative agent of tularemia
We report the complete genome sequence of a highly virulent isolate of F. tularensis. The sequence uncovers previously uncharacterized genes encoding type IV pili, a surface polysaccharide and iron-acquisition systems.

Expansion of the BioCyc Collection of Pathway/Genome Databases to 160 Genomes
This paper discusses the computational methodology by which the BioCyc collection has been expanded, and presents an aggregate analysis of the collection that includes the range of number of pathways…

Online Query Relaxation via Bayesian Causal Structures Discovery
We introduce a novel algorithm, TOQR, for relaxing failed queries over databases, that is, over-constrained DNF queries that return an empty result.

Querying and Computing with BioCyc Databases
We describe multiple methods for accessing and querying the complex and integrated cellular data in the BioCyc family of databases.
