This replication study of Hebrew versus Dutch electronic books for young children was based on De Jong & Bus’s content analysis, which explored whether e-books are appropriate supports for young children’s literacy development. Our criteria for analysing 43 Hebrew e-books for young children included book processing, multimedia in pictures, multimedia connected to printed or spoken text, interac...

Background: E-learning is one of the new ways to learn nowadays which for efficient e-learning in their formulation of electronic content that is usually presented through instructional software we should care. Not using educational design in designing software content is considered one of the main challenges in e-learning and also failures of this educational system. This study aims to investi...

The work in this article presents a methodology and coding examples to be used by those wanting to explore the content of a large corpus of digital publications stored online in PDF format and gain insight into their common content and changes over time. The method can produce hypothesis of topic popularity and point to areas for further scrutiny in terms of common emerging themes. This practit...

I n the days before personal computers became commonplace, a simple and direct system ensured stable relationships among artists, producers, and consumers. An artist would create a work, then give it and certain accompanying rights to a producer. The producer would manufacture a physical artifact that embodied the work, then the producer or its representative would market this artifact, generat...

This ongoing project aims at converting the content on a physical whiteboard, captured by a digital camera, into an electronic document which can be easily manipulated as drawings in a MS Office document or as inks in a TabletPC. Through a series of image processing procedures, the originally captured image is first transformed into a rectangular bitmap with clean white background, and finally ...

The electronic structures of the LaBa2CU30ysuperconductor were calculated using the band-structure treatment based on the EHMO approach and the role of the oxygen content was investigated. The results show that the oxygen content has a great influence on the band structures and the densities of states near the Fermi level ErThe lower or higher oxygen content results in the suppression of the tr...

barter is a scalable, highly-available and efficient electronic commerce system that facilitates digital content trade over an open network. barter is designed to operate over a large-scale, global and heterogeneous communication network infrastructure. The barter protocols address two vital requirements from an electronic commerce system, neglected from existing systems: scalability and transa...

One of the most important tasks in every office is document management which includes the subtasks of creating, archiving, retrieving, dispatching, updating and processing documents. In the last decades and in many different ways, there have been attempts to automate these tasks with positive results. Technological advances allow these tasks to be fully automated through the use of computers an...

The World Wide Web (WWW) has drastically changed the on-line availability of information and the amount of electronically exchanged information. Meanwhile the computer has mutated from a device for computation into a entrance portal of large information volumes, communication, and business transactions. Also, it starts to change the commercial relationships between suppliers and customers. The ...
