Abstract: A system and method of knowledge assessment provides for a computer-executable program capable of generating a user's knowledge profile based on answers to queries posed to the user via a communication network. The user's knowledge profile can be used for creating a detail curriculum in a specific academic subject for the user to pursue or for comparing with the knowledge profile of one or more other users. The detail curriculum, or knowledge path, arranges the subjects to be learned in a hierarchical manner so that the user can determine which subject categories must be mastered before moving to other categories and concepts.

Abstract: This invention is an apparatus and method for affixing frozen tissue sections to microscope slides. It has three elements; teasing implements, an affixing block and a heating element. The elements are used inside a cryostat prior to processing for molecular biology procedures such as immunohistochemistry or laser micro dissection. The tissue sections are collected onto an affixing block which has indentations that decrease the contact surface area while providing structural support. The tissue sections are then transferred onto a slide via transient application of a heating element to the back of slide. The invention decreases folding of tissue sections, increases morphological consistency, enables the placement of many sections on one slide and enables the adherence of tissue sections with greater thickness.
