Knowledge management in organizations, the learning objects paradigm, the advent of a new web generation, and the “Semantic Web” are major actual trends that reveal a potential for a renewed distance learning pedagogy. First and foremost is the use of…

Abstract: In this position paper, reservations are presented regarding the potential of knowledge management (KM) as it is currently applied to the learning and teaching activity of schools. We contend that effective KM is contingent upon the explication of a…

Adaptive finite element methods (FEM) have been widely used in applications for over 20 years now. In practice, they converge starting from coarse grids, although no mathematical theory has been able to prove this assertion. Ensuring an error reduction rate…

A new computable a posteriori error estimator is introduced, which relies on the solution of small discrete problems on stars. It exhibits built-in flux equilibration and is equivalent to the energy error up to data oscillation without any saturation assumption.…

Data oscillation is intrinsic information missed by the averaging process associated with finite element methods (FEM) regardless of quadrature. Ensuring a reduction rate of data oscillation, together with an error reduction based on a posteriori error estimators, we construct a…

Abstract:
Universities are increasingly required to provide an education for students that
enables them to acquire global knowledge, skills and languages, so that they can perform
professionally and socially in an international and multicultural context. Although the
situation varies according…

Igli era La Meca de los Almohades. En la cueva de Igli Muḥammad Ibn Tūmart proclamó el principio del movimiento almohade en África del norte. A pesar de la importancia de Igli, no se conocía su localización exacta o de…

An extensive field surveys were arranged in Imampur Ghat areas to document the ethno-medicinal information regarding the use of wild and endemic ethno-flora against cough and cold. The information presented here, is being collected from the local inhabitants through verbal…

Abstract: An extensive field surveys were arranged in Ahmednagar tahasil areas to document ethno-medicinal uses of the native ethno-flora against cut and wounds. The information is collected during the period from pre-monsoon of 2009 to the post-monsoon of 2011, from…
