Psychology and Mathematics Education
Author: Gila Hanna
Publisher: Frontiers Media SA
ISBN: 2832529992
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 552
Book Description
Modern Mathematics is constructed rigorously through proofs, based on truths, which are either axioms or previously proven theorems. Thus, it is par excellence a model of rational inquiry. Links between Cognitive Psychology and Mathematics Education have been particularly strong during the last decades. Indeed, the Enlightenment view of the rational human mind that reasons, makes decisions and solves problems based on logic and probabilities, was shaken during the second half of the twentieth century. Cognitive psychologists discovered that humans' thoughts and actions often deviate from rules imposed by strict normative theories of inference. Yet, these deviations should not be called "errors": as Cognitive Psychologists have demonstrated, these deviations may be either valid heuristics that succeed in the environments in which humans have evolved, or biases that are caused by a lack of adaptation to abstract information formats. Humans, as the cognitive psychologist and economist Herbert Simon claimed, do not usually optimize, but rather satisfice, even when solving problem. This Research Topic aims at demonstrating that these insights have had a decisive impact on Mathematics Education. We want to stress that we are concerned with the view of bounded rationality that is different from the one espoused by the heuristics-and-biases program. In Simon’s bounded rationality and its direct descendant ecological rationality, rationality is understood in terms of cognitive success in the world (correspondence) rather than in terms of conformity to content-free norms of coherence (e.g., transitivity).

Molecular Mechanisms of Notch Signaling
Author: Tilman Borggrefe
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319895125
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 417
Book Description
This book describes the Notch signaling pathway with a focus on molecular mechanisms. The Notch signaling pathway is a seemingly simple pathway that does not involve any second messenger. Upon ligand binding two consecutive proteolytic cleavages of the NOTCH receptor release the Notch intracellular domain from the membrane. The Notch intracellular domain migrates into the nucleus and activates gene expression. Recently, new technologies allowed us to better understand this pivotal signaling cascade and revealed new regulatory mechanisms. The different chapters cover many aspects of the Notch signaling focusing on the mechanisms governing the receptor/ligand interaction as well as on the downstream intracellular signaling events. Aspects of both canonical and non-canonical signaling are discussed and the function of Notch signaling in physiological and pathological contexts are elucidated. This book is not only intended for experts but it should also be a useful resource for young, sprouting scientists or interested scientists from other research areas, who may use this book as a stimulating starting point for further discoveries and developments.

Book Description
After Katie returns from her harrowing Caribbean adventure, our enchanting South Beach police rookie is back on the beat in Miami. We follow her to a series of routine police calls which quickly become anything but routine. Katie is assigned to work with a grumpy, ill-tempered veteran officer who has no use for rookies, or anyone else for that matter. The action culminates with a public dedication ceremony for the latest edition to the U.S. Navy's fleet of nuclear submarines, during which Katie is detached from her regular duties and appointed to work 24/7 with the Secret Service agents guarding the promiscuous husband of the President of the United States. In addition to dealing with the lecherous First Husband, Katie and her federal agent partners are soon confronted by a group of Native American militants intent on blowing up a nuclear reactor. With car chases, hand-to-hand combat, shoot-outs, and an imminent nuclear disaster, the thrilling action never stops. You won't want to put this book down.

Book Description
Who is John Doe? Anyone one of us could be John Doe... All our lives could turn on a dime. How would you deal with your life changing overnight? This is the true story of a family who lived and built the American dream. The story of how they escaped from Communist Hungary and how they built their business. A business they bought for $150 in 1979 turned into a multi-million dollar-a-year manufacturing facility over 35 years. A story of struggle, hardship and determination. A man following his dream... A dream to be living free in a free country and to provide for his family. A dream halted by a company we all know and the colours of Yellow and Blue you all associate with good and not EVIL. A company that not only sabotaged this family but killed their business because of greed and a witch hunt.

Crystalizing the EU Digital Policy
Author: Mirela Mărcuț
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319692275
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
This book explores the intricate connection between the Single Market, characterized by the freedom of movement of goods, services, capital and labor within and across Europe, and the Digital Single Market, the virtual space that promotes freedom of movement of information and data. Both a result and catalyst of the Single Market, the Digital Single Market has become a different space from the Single Market, as the former is based on the application of information and communication technologies (ICTs), while the latter is the result of concerted actions and concessions by Member States in the European Union. The author argues that, similar to the Single Market, the Digital Single Market is an instrument, built by the influence of the Internet, which can provide a new means of socio-economic growth and development in Europe. While sharing many similar characteristics, the Single Market and the Digital Single Market diverge in important aspects, particularly with respect to policy. The research analyzes the interaction between policy actors, their influence in the European decision-making process, and their interests in order to establish a digital policy model, in comparison with market policy. Moreover, this volume considers the implementation process and the success of such initiatives under the current policy model, and puts forward policy recommendations. Ultimately, the author considers the utility of such research on digital policy, considering the current focus on migration, vulnerabilities to internal challenges (e.g., Brexit) and security threats, maintaining that the discussion of digital policies relates to an innovative vision of the European integration process and prospects for its future.
