The vision of integrating artificial intelligence in education is part of an ongoing push for harnessing digital solutions to improve teaching and learning. ...

L'un des thèmes les plus controversés à propos du personnage de Socrate est celui de la crédibilité de son ignorance. En effet, il est bien connu que d’une part, Socrate clame sans cesse que sa seule connaissance est la certitude de son ignorance, alors que d’autre part, il donne l'impression d’un joueur d’échec en mesure de prévoir de façon extrêmement précise le déroulement de la partie. Cette question de l'ignorance socratique est fort importante, car elle concerne la valeur attribuée à l'ouverture de la discussion, c'est-à-dire à l'absence de conclusions préalablement fixées. 2, record 1, French, - ignorance%20socratique

Works are listed by the artist's family name and in the few cases of artists known only by a first name, such as "Bartolomeo Veneto," we have retained the name "Bartolomeo" rather than the qualifier. In the few cases of nicknames that have gained universal currency, such as "Clodion" or "Cigoli," we have kept the commonly used nickname. Works of anonymous artists who in modern times have been given names such as "Master of the Marble Madonnas" or "Master of the Medici Chapel Altarpiece" are to be found under "Master" at the letter "M". Anonymous works have been grouped under "Unknown" followed by the school or country of origin of the artist. For easier access, copies after known works or works attributed to the school or following of an artist have been grouped under the name of the original artist. Equally, to facilitate research, when a work has changed attribution we have included the old attribution. 1, record 4, English, - Master%20of%20the%20Medici%20Chapel%20Altarpiece

Les œuvres anonymes sont regroupées sous la dénomination «Inconnu» suivie par l'école ou le pays d’origine de l'artiste. Les copies d’après des peintres connus et les tableaux attribués avec plus ou moins de certitude à l'école ou l'entourage d’un artiste sont regroupés autour du nom de l'artiste original.

Endocarditis is characterized by the vegetation, a lesion that results from deposition of platelets and fibrin on the endothelial surface of the heart. Infection is the most common cause, the usual pathogen being one of a variety of bacterial species, microscopic colonies of which are buried beneath the surface of fibrin. However, other types of microorganisms, such as rickettsia, chlamydia, and fungi, may be involved, so that the more general term infective, rather than bacterial, endocarditis is preferred. 2, record 8, English, - infective%20endocarditis

In all cases, completely digested DNA was well detected from partially digested DNA in real-time measurement. One possible application of this technique would be the detection of changes of restriction enzyme length polymorphism (RFLP) when point mutations occur in the recognition sequence for the enzyme, and the enzyme produces different number of fragment from original sequence.

Celles-ci permettent, en effet, de déterminer avec certitude si un génotype, retrouvé chez tous les individus d’une population, peut-être expliqué(ou non) par une association au hasard, par recombinaison, à chaque locus des allèles les plus communs.
