Designing for impact: a conceptual framework for learning analytics as self-assessment tools

Roland John Tormey, Patrick Jermann, Cécile Hardebolle, Francisco Pereira Correia Pinto

Although it is frequently claimed that learning analytics can improve self-evaluation and self-regulated learning by students, most learning analytics tools appear to have been developed as a response to existing data rather than with a clear pedagogical m ...

Usability assessment of building performance simulation tools: a pilot study

Marilyne Andersen, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Stefano Cozza

Due to climate change, the built environment is facing increasingly strict environmental targets. Thus, architects are challenged to design evermore high-performing buildings, a task for which they can no longer depend solely on their experience and intuit ...

A human-centric approach to assess daylight in buildings for non-visual health potential, visual interest and gaze behavior

Marilyne Andersen, María Lovísa Ámundadóttir, Siobhan Francois Rockcastle, Mandana Sarey Khanie

This paper introduces a novel approach for the assessment of daylight performance in buildings, venturing beyond existing methods that evaluate 2-dimensional illumination and comfort within a fixed field-of-view in order to predict human responses to light ...

Peer Assessment Dataset

Denis Gillet, Adrian Christian Holzer, Andrii Vozniuk

Peer assessment is seen as a powerful supporting tool to achieve scalability in the evaluation of complex assignments in large courses, possibly virtual ones, as in the context of massive open online courses (MOOCs). However, the adoption of peer assessmen ...

Review of the role played by the photosensitizer's photobleaching during photodynamic therapy

Georges Wagnières, Matthieu Philippe Emmanuel Zellweger

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is based on the combined administration of photosensitizing drugs and light to treat a variety of malignant, pre-malignant and also non-malignant diseases. The reactive species resulting from the excitation of the photosensitizer ...

Social Defeat as an Animal Model for Depression

Fiona Hollis

Depression is one of the most disabling medical conditions in the world today, yet its etiologies remain unclear and current treatments are not wholly effective. Animal models are a powerful tool to investigate possible causes and treatments for human dise ...

Real-time landing place assessment in man-made environments

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Christos Marios Christoudias, Xiaolu Sun

We propose a novel approach to the real-time landing site detection and assessment in unconstrained man-made environments using passive sensors. Because this task must be performed in a few seconds or less, existing methods are often limited to simple loca ...

Low-dose angiostatic tyrosine kinase inhibitors improve photodynamic therapy for cancer: lack of vascular normalization

Paul Joseph Dyson, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska, Andrea Brett Gasser, Débora Bonvin

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an effective clinical treatment for a number of different cancers. PDT can induce hypoxia and inflammation, pro-angiogenic side effects, which may counteract its angio-occlusive mechanism. The combination of PDT with anti-angi ...

Remote System for Monitoring Animal Models With Single-Metabolite Bio-Nano-Sensors

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Eric Meurville, Cristina Boero, Andrea Cavallini, Léandre Bolomey

A novel system for remote monitoring of metabolism in an animal model is proposed in this paper. The system is obtained by integrating bio-nano-sensors to detect single- metabolites, an electrochemical front-end made with off-the-shelf components, a radio ...

Real-time, in vivo measurement of tissular pO(2) through the delayed fluorescence of endogenous protoporphyrin IX during photodynamic therapy

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska, Anna Maria Novello, Cédric Xavier Paulou

Tissular oxygen concentration plays a key role during photodynamic therapy (PDT). Therefore, monitoring its local oxygen partial pressure (pO(2)) may help predict and/or control the outcome of a PDT treatment. The first real-time, in vivo measurements of t ...

Like a Bolt from the Blue: Phthalocyanines in Biomedical Optics

Hubert van den Bergh

The purpose of this review is to compile preclinical and clinical results on phthalocyanines (Pcs) as photosensitizers (PS) for Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) and contrast agents for fluorescence imaging. Indeed, Pcs are excellent candidates in these fields du ...
