dealt with how its method fared against the traditional methods for delivering course material (Keys & Wolfe‚ 1990). For example‚ the studies by Kaufman (1976)‚ McKenney (1962‚ 1963)‚ Raia (1966) and Wolfe and Guth (1975) found superior results for game-based groups versus case groups either in course grades‚ performance on concepts‚ examinations‚ or goal-setting exercises. Although anecdotal evidence suggests that students seem to prefer games over other‚ more traditional methods of instruction‚ reviews

(DPPH) for estimating antioxidant activity Songklanakarin J. Sci. Technol.‚ 2004‚ 26(2) : 211-219 The use of the stable free radical diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) to estimate the activity of antioxidants is reviewed. Current applications of the method are examined‚ particularly the use of the parameter EC50 (substrate concentration to produce 50% reduction of the DPPH). Some recommendations are made as to the most suitable ways of carrying out this assay and evaluating the data produced. Key
