This paper depicts the interrelation between situated learning and learning management from an organizational and personal perspective. Based on this introduction we show how educational metadata can be used for approaches of situated learning and how we can take care of contexts using context specific role-based metadata.

Recently, analytical solutions of a nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation describing anomalous diffusion with an external linear force were found using a nonextensive thermostatistical Ansatz. We have extended these solutions to the case when an homogeneous absorption process is also present. Some peculiar aspects of the interrelation between the deterministic force, the nonlinear diffusion, and the...

Several papers have recently presented results of measurements of physical aging by studying the behavior of glassy materials quenched from temperatures above their glass transition temperature g T . The evolution of the aging process is usually followed by plotting the relaxed enthalpy versus the accompanying decrease in volume. Here, we focus on the slope of such plots, which are found to be ...

Factor VII and prekallikrein activities were studied in 37 patients with liver cirrhosis who were in a decompensated state. Sixteen of them died 30-70 days after admission; 21 survived and were discharged after 30-80 days. Seven who died and six survivors had signs of hyperfibrinolysis: factor VII activity differentiated the two groups independently of the presence of hyperfibrinolysis. The pre...

TCP(α,β) protocols trade the congestion window increase value α for the decrease ratio β , to generate smoother traffic patterns and to maintain a friendly behavior. In this paper, we study the design assumptions of TCP(α,β) protocols and discuss the impact of equationbased modulation of α and β on application efficiency. We confirm experimentally that, in general, smoothness and responsiveness...

The Web services platform architecture consists of different layers for exchanging messages. There may be faults happening at each layer during the message exchange. First, the paper presents current standards employed in the different layers and shows their interrelation. Thereby, the focus is on the fault handling strategies. Second, current service middleware is reviewed whether and how it f...

This paper depicts the interrelation between situated learning and learning management from an organisational and personal perspective. Based on this introduction we show how educational metadata can be used for approaches of situated learning and how we can take care of learning approaches and contexts using situated and context specific metadata and rolebased models.

The interrelation of neurology and the gastrointestinal system includes defects of gut innervation, primary disorders of the nervous system (or muscle) which lead to gastrointestinal symptoms—for example, dysphagia—and, finally, certain gut disorders which include neurological features in their clinical range. The first of this trio will be discussed only briefly in this review, the second and ...

In this study, asset management strategies in power distribution systems are investigated chronologically based on short-term, mid-term and long-term time scales. New strategies and their interrelation and coincidence in different time scales are discussed. The central role of Information Technologies (IT) in asset management is emphasized with supportive examples.
