Skin plays an indispensable role in protection, sensation, temperature regulation and so on. Autologous skin grafting is the main method to treat skin wounds. However, patients with large-scale skin defects often face the problem of insufficient ...

Effective creative work requires both "hot" (exploratory) and "cool" (exploitative) thinking. Unfortunately, many people (especially novices) under-explore, jumping to the "cool'' part too quickly, because they assume their current thinking "has to be" ...

Creative work combines exploratory thinking to find novel solutions and exploitative thinking to refine those solutions. People often assume that the idea they come up with has to be the "correct solution," leading to under-exploration and preemptive ...

Creative problem-solving requires both exploratory and evaluative thinking skills. The contextual, open-ended nature of creative tasks makes them uniquely challenging to teach and learn. People tend to under-explore in problem-solving, using the most ...

Advances in digital fabrication (DF) technologies are making it easier to produce high-fidelity replicas of digital designs. However, this push-to-print paradigm limits the creative opportunities that arise from the process of "working through a ...

This research is based on collaborative learning processes using scaffolds. Specifically, we aim to ascertain whether there are any significant differences in students' results after following the same learning instructions for participating in a ...

Scaffolds can be defined as tools that help students meaningfully participate in and gain skill at tasks that are beyond their unassisted abilities. However, the term scaffold is often used a theoretically, resulting in poor understanding of how and why ...

Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary effort aimed at the repair and regeneration of biological tissues through the application and control of cells, porous scaffolds and growth factors. While there is a general intuitive consensus on the influence ...

A key requirement in the field of bone tissue engineering is the development of scaffold structures on which cells adhere. This can be done by fabricating scaffolds by direct procedures like Three-Dimensional (3D) printing or by indirect procedures like ...

In this study, to mimic the mineral and organic component of natural bone, hydroxapatite[HA] and gelatin[GEL] composite scaffolds were prepared using solvent-casting method combined with freeze drying process. Glutaraldehyde[GA] was used as cross ...

A case study of middle school student's interaction within a digital library, the differential use of interface features by students, and the issues of representation and retrieval obstacles are examined. A mechanism for evaluating user's search terms ...

Handheld computers offer the flexibility and mobility to be "ready at hand" tools that can facilitate learning anytime, anywhere. Applying the principles of Learner Centered Design [2], we have developed Pocket PiCoMap to support students engaged in ...
