Abstract

Recent research in early childhood education centres suggests that the classroom environment and educators' knowledge about computers are not at a level that would support computer learning opportunities. The purpose of the present study was to determine what…

We propose an organic approach to educational web-based systems where learning objects, operations on these objects, and actors that perform them are aggregated in meaningful ways. The users of a learning system must be able to observe it globally, at…

Little attention has been given to involving the deaf community in distance teaching and learning or in designing courses that relate to their language and culture. This article reports on the design and development of video-based learning objects created to…

This paper seeks to engage the organization theory community in contemporary
debates over the role of the cxxporation in American society by building a stakeholder

Forecast models based on climatic conditions are of great interest in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs. The success of these models depends, among other factors, on the knowledge of the temperature effect on the pests? population dynamics. In this direction,…

Sucrose is one of the compounds in the raw coffee bean that has been identified as an important precursor of coffee flavour and aroma. In order to increase our knowledge of sucrose metabolism in coffee species, sucrose and reducing sugar…

Los sistemas insulares han sido áreas modelo para explicar las variaciones espaciales en la composición, riqueza y abundancia de las especies, donde tales variaciones pueden ser resultado de las diferencias interinsulares en la heterogeneidad y variabilidad ambiental. A pesar de…

Organizations must establish processes for managing knowledge across boundaries because of the specialized and task-dependent forms of knowledge required to deliver products and services. To address this challenge an integrative framework is developed that identifies and integrates the value of…

This report focuses on recycling. As an objective neutral party, MIT has compiled a knowledge base that examines the many complex issues relating to re-cycling. Although this report was prepared at the request of the Automotive board of Governors, it…

Most neural network learning algorithms cannot use knowledge other than what is provided in the training data. Initialized using random weights, they cannot use prior knowledge such as knowledge stored in previously trained networks. This manuscript thesis addresses this problem.…
