Research, Writing, And Computer Technology: A Reconsideration Of Invention And Process, Donna Price Seckrater
Theses Digitization Project
This thesis argues for a more open and active research process and approach toward the teaching of researched writing. A hypertext-based research environment may enrich student learning and writing by reinforcing recursivity throughout the writing process, at the same time as it encourages reflection on both cognitive and social processes of knowledge construction. Further argument is for a more vigorous student engagement in knowledge-making activities by encouraging active research further along the writing process.

Sequence Similarity Search Portal, Arokiya Louis Monica Joseph
Theses Digitization Project
This project brings the bioinformatics community a new development concept in which users can access all data and applications hosted in the main research centers as if they were installed on their local machines, providing seamless integration between disparate services.
