28 Jul 2014TL;DR: It is shown that CS1 students from functional-language CS1 courses at four schools choose different high-level structures and make fewer low-level errors compared to results of other Rainfall studies.
Abstract: Many studies have used Soloway's Rainfall problem to explore plan composition and programming errors by novice programmers. Few of these have explored students from CS1 courses that use functional programming. The concepts and programming styles commonly taught in such courses give CS1 students more viable plan-composition options than in traditional imperative CS1 courses. Using data from five functional-language CS1 courses at four schools, we show that our students choose different high-level structures and make fewer low-level errors compared to results of other Rainfall studies. We discuss the potential role of language in these results and raise various questions that could further explore these effects.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide their collective position regarding the field of entrepreneurship and provide a brief history and conceptual background of EM and the contextual differences that have shaped its evolution are considered.
Abstract: Entrepreneurial marketing (EM), born out of the practice of firms operating in conditions of uncertainty, is emerging as a powerful alternative to cope with the decreasing effectiveness associated with traditional marketing. In this article, the authors provide their collective position regarding the field of EM. A brief history and conceptual background of EM is presented and the contextual differences that have shaped its evolution are considered. Distinctions between traditional and EM are derived based on discussions of the concepts of size, speed, market, opportunity, risk, and uncertainty. The perspective of value co-creation in uncertainty is used to develop a contingency framework to serve as the foundation towards a general theory of EM. Operand and operant resources and environmental conditions are proposed to moderate the EM process from opportunity recognition to entrepreneurial organization, EM, and temporary competitive advantage. The theoretical facets are illustrated with seven proposition...

TL;DR: This review summarizes data that demonstrate generic counterion-mediated effects on four structurally unrelated biopolymers of similar charge density: F-actin, vimentin, Pf1 virus, and DNA, and explores the possible biological and pathophysiological consequences of the polyelectrolyte properties of biological filaments.
Abstract: Anionic polyelectrolyte filaments are common in biological cells. DNA, RNA, the cytoskeletal filaments F-actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments, and polysaccharides such as hyaluronan that form the pericellular matrix all have large net negative charge densities distributed over their surfaces. Several filamentous viruses with diameters and stiffnesses similar to those of cytoskeletal polymers also have similar negative charge densities. Extracellular protein filaments such collagen, fibrin and elastin, in contrast, have notably smaller charge densities and do not behave as highly charged polyelectrolytes in solution. This review summarizes data that demonstrate generic counterion-mediated effects on four structurally unrelated biopolymers of similar charge density: F-actin, vimentin, Pf1 virus, and DNA, and explores the possible biological and pathophysiological consequences of the polyelectrolyte properties of biological filaments.

TL;DR: Adding the Hooked On Nicotine Checklist to routine adolescent health examinations, health classes, and prevention programs may make adolescents more aware of their symptoms of ND and enable intervention before ND progresses.
