Various authors report that managers of teleworkers perceive the management of teleworkers to be problematic. To counter this, a multimedia mail type of application was developed that could allow teleworkers to create detailed multi-media reports on their work. In this paper, I report on the rationale used to justify the design of the application, propose a critique of this rationale, and prese...

The use of Information technology (IT) tools in teaching provides innovative learning environments that increases students’ interaction with instructor and among students themselves. It is expected that the use of technology to enhance student learning experience. In this paper, I report my experience in teaching software project management course using different technologies. A survey was cond...

In 2005, a new production of Jane Harrison's Stolen will be presented at the Sydney Theatre Company, seven years after its premiere in a co-production by Ilbijerri and Playbox Theatre companies in 1998 at the Melbourne International Festival for the Arts.

Employers regularly complain of a shortage of qualified scientists and advocate that to remain competitive more scientists need to be trained. However, using a survey of graduates from British universities, I report that three years after graduation less than 50% of graduates from science subjects are working in a scientific occupation. Accounting for selection into major and occupation type, I...

This article contributes to methodological debates regarding the role of art in communicating research findings in the context of a completed research project on dementia activism. Previous work has focused on the value and effectiveness of using art to communicate research, rather than the actual transformation and creative process. As a result, there has been an inadequate exploration of how ...

I respond to comments offered by Peter Harrison and Thupten Jinpa on my book Buddhism and Science: A Guide for the Perplexed (2008). I report briefly on the reception of the book thus far and provide a summary of its contents before responding individually to the essays of Harrison and Jinpa.

Among the various canonical forms which were proposed for constant linear systems, the one due to Brunovsky [1] certainly is the most profound. It characterizes a dynamics modulo the group of static state feedbacks by a finite set of pure integrators. Its proof, which is quite computational, has been improved in various ways, and can be found in several textbooks (see, e.g., [12, 13, 20, 21] an...

An interactive Multilingual Access Gateway (iMAG) dedicated to a web site S (iMAG-S) is a good tool to make S accessible in many languages immediately and without editorial responsibility. Visitors of S as well as paid or unpaid post-editors and moderators contribute to the continuous and incremental improvement of the most important textual segments, and eventually of all. Pre-translations are...

In languages such as Japanese, the use of zeros, unexpressed arguments of the verb, in utterances that shift the topic involves a risk that the meaning intended by the speaker may not be transparent to the hearer. However, this potentially undesirable conversational strategy often occurs in the course of naturally-occurring discourse. In this chapter, I report on an empirical study of 250 utter...

This study was designed the display technological materials with SCORM standards. The design core was to develop the standardized learning components and it could be exchanged and used in line with SCORM platform. In addition, the study constructed the display technological curriculum content for technological and vocational student with fuzzy analytic hierarchy process. The hierarchical struct...
