Home > Printer-friendly PDF > Internship Housing Internship Housing A challenge for many students related to their internship search is finding housing in the cities where internship opportunities exist, and many students place unnecessary restrictions on their internship search due to housing concerns. If you are considering an internship in a city not represented in this list, consider contac...

Introduction. Research and theory on the topics of information seeking and retrieval have been plagued by some fundamental problems for several decades. Many of the difficulties spring from mechanistic and instrumental thinking and modelling. Method. Existing models of information retrieval and information seeking are examined for efficacy in a probabilistic environment. Alternatives to determi...

Blood glucose tests were introduced in the early 1970's and within a short time, patients were instructed to try the new techniques at home. During the last ten years, interest has almost exclusively centered on blood glucose analysis, especially after the introduction of more user-friendly analytical instruments ("reflectance meters"). Thus, blood glucose self-rnonitoring (BGSM) is the current...

Chemically modifying vegetable oils to produce an alternative to petroleum-based materials is one of the most important emerging industrial research areas today because of the adverse effects of petroleum products on the environment and the shortage of petroleum resources. Biolubricants, bioplasticizers, non-isocyanate polyurethanes, biofuel, coating materials, biocomposites, and other value-ad...

The paper presents an authentication scheme for remote systems using smart card. The scheme prevents the scenario of many logged in users with the same login identity, and does not require password/verifier table to validate the users’ login request. The scheme provides a user-friendly password change option, and withstands the replay, impersonation, stolen-verifier, guessing, and denial-of-ser...

We reveal an outstanding potential of water as an inexpensive, abundant and bio-friendly high-refractive-index material for creating tunable all-dielectric photonic structures and metamaterials. Specifically, we demonstrate thermal, mechanical and gravitational tunability of magnetic and electric resonances in a metamaterial consisting of periodically positioned water-filled reservoirs. The pro...

Thyme Essential oils (EO) with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties are widely used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and perfume industry. It is also used for flavoring and preservation of several foods. Nowadays, packaging research is receiving a considerable attention due to the development of eco-friendly materials made from natural polymers such as starch and chitosan. In this study Thymus ...

In this paper, we propose an agent-based personalized distance learning system for delivering appropriate studying materials to learners by judging learners’ degree of understanding.The main elements of our proposed system are the agents, which play the role of teacher. Based on the learning history they analyze the understanding degree of learners. To evaluate the proposed distance learning sy...
