The Potential Use Of "Biogs" In Nursing Education, Margaret M. Hansen Edd, Msn, Rn Jan 2005

The Potential Use Of "Biogs" In Nursing Education, Margaret M. Hansen Edd, Msn, Rn

Nursing and Health Professions Faculty Research and Publications

Web logs, also known as “blogs,” are an emerging writing tool that are easy to use, are Internet-based, and can enhance health professionals' writing, communication, collaboration, reading, and information-gathering skills. Students from different disciplines, such as medicine, public health, business, library science, and journalism, garner knowledge from blogs as innovative educational tools. Healthcare professionals are expected to be competent in the use of information technology to be able to effectively communicate, manage information, diminish medical error, and support decision making. However, the use of blogs, as an interactive and effective educational method, has not been well documented by nurse educators.

Measuring Shared Information And Coordinated Activity In Neuronal Networks, K L. Klinkner, C R. Shalizi, Marcelo Camperi Jan 2005

Measuring Shared Information And Coordinated Activity In Neuronal Networks, K L. Klinkner, C R. Shalizi, Marcelo Camperi

Physics and Astronomy

Most nervous systems encode information about stimuli in the respond- ing activity of large neuronal networks. This activity often manifests itself as dynamically coordinated sequences of action potentials. Since multiple electrode recordings are now a standard tool in neuroscience research, it is important to have a measure of such network-wide behav- ioral coordination and information sharing, applicable to multiple neural spike train data. We propose a new statistic, informational coherence , which measures how much better one unit can be predicted by knowing the dynamical state of another. We argue informational coherence is a measure of association and shared information …
