A History of Conceptual Change Research [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Some topics seem systematically extremely difficult for students, and conventional methods of teaching usually fail. Topics like this are found at all age levels, including, in physics; matter and density, Newtonian mechanics, electricity, and relativity;

A conceptual theory of state changes [PDF]

open access: yesSemiotica, 1989
I will focus in this paper on what John Sowa calls the 'conceptual relations': In the formal theory there is only one primitive relation called LINK. All others are introduced by definitions. For a practical knowledge representation system, a reasonable number of basic relations should be provided for all the common relations that are used in ordinary ...

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

The heterodimeric amino acid transporters (HAT) of the SLC7/SLC3 family: A structure−function relationships and relevance to human pathology

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Heterodimeric amino acid transporters consist of SLC7 and SLC3 family proteins arranged in a conserved structural organization. They regulate nutrient transport across cell membranes, supporting essential cellular functions. These transporters also contribute to xenobiotic/drug uptake and distribution.

Mudanças conceituais (ou cognitivas) na educação em ciências: revisão crítica e novas direções para a pesquisa

open access: yesEnsaio Pesquisa em Educação em Ciências
Resumo: Diante do desafio de consolidar e aprofundar as pesquisas no campo da educação em ciências, coloca-se a necessidade de se fazer um balanço crítico das pesquisas realizadas nos últimos vinte anos em torno do problema da "mudança conceitual".
