Eric Mazur. Eric Mazur (born November 14, 1954) is a physicist and educator at Harvard University, [1] and an entrepreneur in technology start-ups for the educational and technology markets. [2] [3] Mazur's research is in experimental ultrafast optics, condensed matter physics and peer instruction. [4] [5] Born in Amsterdam, Netherlands, he ...
Learning analytics as an application of data science. In 2017, Gašević, Коvanović, and Joksimović proposed a consolidated model of learning analytics. The model posits that learning analytics is defined at the intersection of three disciplines: data science, theory, and design.
Catalysis. A range of industrial catalysts in pellet form. An air filter that uses a low-temperature oxidation catalyst to convert carbon monoxide to less toxic carbon dioxide at room temperature. It can also remove formaldehyde from the air. Catalysis ( / kəˈtæləsɪs /) is the increase in rate of a chemical reaction due to an added ...
Gary King (born December 8, 1958) is an American political scientist and quantitative methodologist. He is the Albert J. Weatherhead III University Professor and Director for the Institute for Quantitative Social Science at Harvard University. King and his research group develop and apply empirical methods in many areas of social science ...
Statistical learning theory is a framework for machine learning drawing from the fields of statistics and functional analysis. [1] [2] [3] Statistical learning theory deals with the statistical inference problem of finding a predictive function based on data. Statistical learning theory has led to successful applications in fields such as ...
Learning sciences ( LS) is an interdisciplinary field that works to further scientific, humanistic, and critical theoretical understanding of learning as well as to engage in the design and implementation of learning innovations, and the improvement of instructional methodologies. LS research traditionally focuses on cognitive-psychological ...
Catalytic cycle. In chemistry, a catalytic cycle is a multistep reaction mechanism that involves a catalyst. [1] The catalytic cycle is the main method for describing the role of catalysts in biochemistry, organometallic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, materials science, etc. Since catalysts are regenerated, catalytic cycles are usually ...
A catalytic triad is a set of three coordinated amino acids that can be found in the active site of some enzymes. [1] [2] Catalytic triads are most commonly found in hydrolase and transferase enzymes (e.g. proteases, amidases, esterases, acylases, lipases and β-lactamases ).
