Boundary currentBoundary currents are ocean currents with dynamics determined by the presence of a coastline, and fall into two distinct categories: western boundary currents and eastern boundary currents. Eastern boundary currents are relatively shallow, broad and slow-flowing. They are found on the eastern side of oceanic basins (adjacent to the western coasts of continents). Subtropical eastern boundary currents flow equatorward, transporting cold water from higher latitudes to lower latitudes; examples include the Benguela Current, the Canary Current, the Humboldt (Peru) Current, and the California Current.
Human-based computationHuman-based computation (HBC), human-assisted computation, ubiquitous human computing or distributed thinking (by analogy to distributed computing) is a computer science technique in which a machine performs its function by outsourcing certain steps to humans, usually as microwork. This approach uses differences in abilities and alternative costs between humans and computer agents to achieve symbiotic human–computer interaction.
Student voiceStudent voice is the individual and collective perspective and actions of students within the context of learning and education. It is identified in schools as both a metaphorical practice and as a pragmatic concern. Tech educator Dennis Harper noted that student voice gives students "the ability to influence learning to include policies, programs, contexts and principles." According to Adam Fletcher, student voice is a phenomenon that has always been present in schools; what makes it noticeable is the willingness of educators and others to listen to student voice.
TamoxifèneLe tamoxifène est un modulateur sélectif des récepteurs des œstrogènes utilisé sous forme orale dans le cancer du sein. Il est pour l'instant le traitement le plus vendu dans le cadre du traitement de ce cancer. Il est utilisé dans le traitement de cancers du sein en phase précoce ou avancée chez les femmes pré- et post-ménopausées. Le tamoxifène est commercialisé, entre autres, sous la marque Nolvadex. Dans certains pays, il est vendu comme médicament générique.
ComputationnalismeLe computationnalisme est une théorie fonctionnaliste en philosophie de l'esprit qui, pour des raisons méthodologiques, conçoit l'esprit comme un système de traitement de l'information et compare la pensée à un calcul (en anglais, computation) et, plus précisément, à l'application d'un système de règles. Par computationnalisme, on entend la théorie développée en particulier par Hilary Putnam et Jerry Fodor, et non le cognitivisme en général. Le terme a été proposé par Hilary Putnam en 1961, et développé par Jerry Fodor dans les années 1960 et 1970.
Concept learningConcept learning, also known as category learning, concept attainment, and concept formation, is defined by Bruner, Goodnow, & Austin (1967) as "the search for and listing of attributes that can be used to distinguish exemplars from non exemplars of various categories". More simply put, concepts are the mental categories that help us classify objects, events, or ideas, building on the understanding that each object, event, or idea has a set of common relevant features.
