چکیده
For many educators, the phrase ‘from distance education to e-learning’ conjures up the view of an ‘evolutionary’ progression beginning with correspondence study and developed through more sophisticated technologies to its current identification with computers, the Internet, and the World Wide Web. For others, particularly those with little knowledge or experience of (and often equally little interest in) the field of distance education, e-learning represents a new phenomenon with the potential to transform traditional higher education. Both views reflect confidence in an expanded potential, but ‘e-learning’, the term currently used to denote these expanded possibilities, represents a narrowing of rhetoric resulting in conceptual confusion which continues to create uncertainty amongst administrators, faculty, students, and researchers.

Variability in generational behavior of cache blocks is a key challenge for cache management policies that aim to identify dead blocks as early and as accurately as possible to maximize cache efficiency. Existing management policies are limited by the metrics they use to identify dead blocks, leading to low coverage and/or low accuracy in the face of variability. In response, we introduce a new...

Or entanglement, what Einstein called "spooky action-at-distance" in which objects are invisibly linked, even ...
