Mechanically Programmable DNA Hydrogel Microparticles for 3D Cellular Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
DNA hydrogel microparticles are designed to exhibit controllable viscoelasticity and stiffness across three orders of magnitude from 30Pa$30 \,\mathrm{Pa}$ to 6.5kPa$6.5 \,\mathrm{kPa}$. They are uptaken into fibroblast spheroids where they are actively remodeled by cellular forces depending on their mechanical properties.

Organizing for distance education

Proceedings of the Twenty-Seventh Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences HICSS-94, 1994
Distance education technologies provide the environment for the integration of distributed group support systems (GSS) into existing classroom curricula. Integration of information technology beyond specific courses in the academic discipline is a requirement if transfer of learning to the world of work is to become a reality.

Dimensions of distance: a comparison of classroom education and distance education

Nurse Education Today, 2002
Distance is obviously a core issue in distance education. But distance is a factor in classroom-based education as well. Classroom-based teachers and distance educators have a common interest in the dynamics of distance. The focus of much discussion in distance education is on geographical distance and how it may be bridged.
