Financial Literacy and Quantitative Reasoning in the High School and College Classroom

open access: yesNumeracy, 2013
This overview frames the eight articles devoted to financial literacy in this issue of Numeracy. The survey questions used to assess financial literacy in the United States, Romania, France, Switzerland, Australia, and elsewhere include mathematics that ...

The ubiquitin ligase RNF115 is required for the clearance of damaged lysosomes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Upon lysosomal rupture, an E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF115 translocates from the cytosol to the damaged lysosomal membrane. Moreover, RNF115 depletion impairs the clearance of damaged lysosomes, identifying it as a key regulator of lysosomal quality control.

Integrating heterogeneous knowledges for understanding biological behaviors: a probabilistic approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Despite recent molecular technique improvements, biological knowledge remains incomplete. Reasoning on living systems hence implies to integrate heterogeneous and partial informations.

Counterexample-Driven Synthesis for Probabilistic Program Sketches

open access: yes, 2019
Probabilistic programs are key to deal with uncertainty in e.g. controller synthesis. They are typically small but intricate. Their development is complex and error prone requiring quantitative reasoning over a myriad of alternative designs.

Students' developing knowledge in a subject discipline: insights from combining quantitative and qualitative methods [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
In this paper we describe an example of research that combined quantitative and qualitative methods in order to investigate students' developing mathematical reasoning over time and to identify factors that were influential in this ...

Threshold Concepts in Quantitative Reasoning

open access: yesNumeracy, 2023
The idea of “threshold concepts” has been used to identify discipline-based concepts that are critical to that academic area. Threshold concepts are often difficult for students to assimilate in a meaningful way but, once done, can be powerful for the learner.

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

The Joy of Quantitative Reasoning

open access: yesNumeracy, 2012
One of the advantages of focusing on quantitative reasoning is that it spans a wide variety of topics. As incoming president of the National Numeracy Network, I would like to take the opportunity of this editorial to tell my story of intellectual reward ...

Does Completion of Quantitative Courses Predict Better Quantitative Reasoning-in-Writing Proficiency?

open access: yesNumeracy, 2013
Using data from Carleton College, this study explores the connection between students’ completion of a range of quantitative courses and the quality of their quantitative reasoning in writing (QRW) as exhibited in courses throughout the undergraduate ...

HyperPCTL: A Temporal Logic for Probabilistic Hyperproperties

open access: yes, 2018
In this paper, we propose a new logic for expressing and reasoning about probabilistic hyperproperties. Hyperproperties characterize the relation between different independent executions of a system.
