INFORMATION LOCATION AND INTERACTIVITY ARE TWO ATTRIBUTES OF DESKTOP VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT (DVE) DESIGN THAT CAN BE EXPLOITED TO ENHANCE THE ABILITY OF LEARNERS TO ACQUIRE INFORMATION AND SKILLS THAT TRANSFER TO REAL WORLD. THE TERM €œINFORMATION LOCATION"" REFERS TO THE…

In contrast with traditional academic disciplines, online educators do not have a generally accepted list of scholarly journals, which is in part a result of the multidisciplinary nature of the field, the relative infancy of online learning, and the view…

abstracto..,  RESUMENLa difusión y divulgación de la información ambiental es el propósito del Periodismo Ambiental y con él, de acuerdo a sus teóricos, se busca contribuir con la Cultura Ambiental. Ésta es entendida como el conocimiento, las aptitudes y los…

IN THIS DISSERTATION THE GEONTOMET METHODOLOGY IS PRESENTED. IT IS ORIENTED TO FORMALIZE THE GEOGRAPHIC DOMAIN CONCEPTUALIZATION ACCORDING TO THE SPECIFICATIONS OF THE INSTITUTO NACIONAL DE ESTADÍSTICA, GEOGRAFÍA E INFORMÁTICA (INEGI). THE MAIN GOAL IS TO PROVIDE SEMANTIC DESCRIPTIONS, WHICH…

http://www.naun.org/journals/m3as/2008.htm, We propose a new perspective on the identification of linear dynamic system using structural similarity. The proposal consists in the meaningful exploration of each model, specifically behavior of the state variable.
The decomposition of the behavior of a state…

This paper presents a knowledge-based approach for capturing data and rationale, so
that the experience and insights gained while pursuing a major project or endeavor can
be utilized when pursuing future endeavors of a similar nature. The proposed

In this paper an adaptive fuzzy decentralized
control algorithm for trajectory tracking of robot manipulators is developed. The proposed decentralized control algorithm allows the overall closed-loop system to be stabilized while making the tracking error to be uniformly ultimately bounded…

Using the underlying idea of the current-mode control, a new dynamical, sliding-mode control for the boost dc-dc converter is proposed. Such controller is easy to design, robust under load and input voltage variations, exhibits fast response, does not depend on…

The ambiguity, robustness and performance of systems becomes increasingly evident as the complexity and size increase in industrial processes. Under these circumstances, conventional control techniques such as PID control, nonlinear feedback control, LQG control and H∞ control have several disadvantages…

A request from the Essex health and social care mental health commissioners for a series of broad consultations to seek the views of service users and carers emerged as a response to the potential need for service redesign engendered by…
