One of the limitations of the BDI (Belief-Desire-Intention) model is the lack of any explicit mechanisms within the architecture to be able to learn. In particular, BDI agents do not possess the ability to adapt based on past experience. This is important in dynamic environments as they can change, causing previously successful methods for achieving goals to become inefficient or ineffective.

This research study aims to examine the question: what challenges are presented, and changes required, to adapt authentic, experiential learning opportunities to the virtual environment in order to develop students’ competencies to communicate interculturally and collaborate effectively in global virtual teams? The research is located within theories associated with experiential learning and authentic learning. It explores how these theories can be extended to student learning in, and for, the global business context, using the virtual learning space.

Within the urban landscape, the tempo of destruction and redevelopment of our built environment reveals a palimpsest of change. The abandonment of these sites could go unnoticed, often a fleeting moment before destruction, with the next structure then re-cloaking the land. This research project locates itself spatially and conceptually within this pause or transitional state of select sites. It utilises this brief period of time to consider how these sites can offer poetic information and new readings as creative practice, despite their impending obsolescence.

It was previously thought that the establishment of the gut microbiota was completed within the first two years of life, and this community maintains fairly stable throughout the adult lifetime thereafter. However, recent evidence shows that the gut microbiota composition is constantly changing in the gut environment and is heavily influenced by diet. The individual differences responding to diets would root on the fluctuations of gut microbiota if dietary fluctuations affect the composition of gut microbiota so significantly.

Greater emphasis on future constraints to agricultural production is motivated by the projections of environmental change. The speed of population, change in climate and environmental has pressurized the crop community to understand the importance of those stresses which may result in the significant declines in yield. Advances in data availability, advance information technology, and new and improved methods to target genotypes to environments have benefited the crop improvement practices. No methodology is found in literature which integrates factors like climate, soil, land cover etc.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced as by-products of several intracellular metabolic pathways and are reduced to more stable molecules by several protective pathways. The presence of high levels of ROS can be associated with disturbance of cell function and could lead to apoptosis. The presence of ROS within the physiological range has many effects on several signalling pathways. In stem cells, this role can range between keeping the potency of the naive stem cells to differentiation towards a certain lineage.
