Designing user-friendly public e-services is one of the prime concerns of most e-government initiatives and programmes. In this context a life-event based approach seems to be one of the most promising. There are several research projects and several live-event description and design methodologies under development, most of them still in an early stage. In the paper we are trying to focus and c...

Learning has foundation in learning theories. The organisation of the learning contents to students and the linking of the related or similar contents in the same field of domain knowledge in an e-learning environment should be given a great consideration. From the literature, there are lots of factors that relate to cognitive learning theories that have been incorporated into the development o...

Flow separation at water intake is the main cause of head loss and flow discharge reduction. &#10As a result, study of shape and size of separation is very essential when designing an optimum water intake. Water intake is normally built with a 90 degree angle to the main channel flow direction. However, the flow structure in this type of water intake consists of large separation size along wit...
