this study investigated utilization of electronic learning facilities among agricultural students in michael okpara university of agriculture, umudike. one hundred and twenty (120) students undergoing training in different agricultural courses in the university were randomly selected. data were collected with a structured questionnaire and analyzed with descriptive statistics such as frequency ...

Today, pipe systems are the most common facilities to convey various fluids from one place to another. In such facilities faults like leaks lead to advert consequences such as economic losses and social health threats. The fact that early detection of leaks can play a prominent role in reducing the amount of these undesired impacts has absorbed noticeable attention from researchers to this fiel...

one of the most common methods of financing to which banks repeatedly resort nowadays is, in addition to planning different kinds of bank deposits, to distribute securities supported by bank facilities. the application of such tools is highly experienced in the current banking. in fact, enjoying such instruments, banks have the intention to renew their resources in their attempt to enhance thei...

In order to model distributed expert systems at a proper level of granularity of knowledge, focusing on a common task ontology, inference primitive structure templates has been proposed so that they can interoperate with other expert systems to solve problems that cannot be solved alone. Furthermore, in order to modularize such expert-system deep interoperation at a semantic level, the cooperat...

The increasing pressure for enterprises to join into agile business networks is changing the requirements on the enterprise computing systems. The supporting infrastructure is increasingly required to provide common facilities and societal infrastructure services to support the lifecycle of loosely-coupled, eContract-governed business networks. The required facilities include selection of those...

The importance of distributed real-time systems such as air control systems, factory automation, robotics and teleconferencing systems is widely recognized. However, satisfying the rigid timing constraints required by such distributed real-time applications is very difcult. Synchronization and communication are two common sources of unbounded priority inversion which may make the behavior of sy...

In this paper we describe the translation facilities as a component of EDM-2 database. We introduce a new approach to translation that is different from the traditional translators in databases and the standard neutral file approach. First, we define design views, which are different from database views in that they allow manipulation of data, and they represent the same object or information i...

The development and use of multi-user interfaces within CSCW has highlighted the need for users to manage interface configuration and tailoring. Facilities to manage multi-user interfaces tend to be application specific and provide only limited tailorability for purpose built cooperative applications. The structure of applications also prohibits the migration of existing applications to coopera...
