Recently, many researchers have used graph theory to study the aberrant brain functions in mental disorders. However, the characteristics of the brain functional network in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are still largely unexplored. In this study, blood oxygen level-dependence (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance images (fMRI) were employed to construct brain functional networks...
We present the design and context of a simple electronic indicator which aids in the disinfection of drinking water. The indicator provides visual feedback of the solar disinfection process, which is otherwise unobservable to the user. We discuss the competitions, hosting institutions, partner organizations, and novel internet-based social technologies which fostered and shaped this product development...

Environmental education is one of the important and effective approaches to solve environmental problems and to protect biodiversity. It is significant to discuss the theory of Environmental Education for Biodiversity Conservation (EEFBC), and to build a multi-dimensional system for implementing EEFBC towards sustainable development in the special Chinese context for the whole society. Four dimensions,...
Social network analysis (SNA) of organizations can attract great interest from government agencies and scientists for its ability to boost translational research and accelerate the process of converting research to care. For SNA of a particular disease area, we need to identify the key research groups in that area by mining the affiliation information from PubMed. This not only involves recognizing...
Engineering educators utilize K-12 outreach to encourage students to pursue careers in engineering. Engineering faculty choosing to undertake K-12 outreach often face time consuming administrative duties associated with such activities. Collaboration with outside organizations provides ways to become more involved in K-12 outreach. Non-profit tutoring organizations, arts and community centers, or...
Improving quality of child healthcare, optimization of child development, anticipation of child neglect or abuse, and other social-values-based childcare activities usually motivate the adoption of electronic child records (ECRs).
