The Scanner-Display system, called SCAD, is a device for communicating between computers and pictures. In its present form it can accept transparencies, measure the transmission at various points on the transparency, and convert this to a digital number. It can also accept digital data and produce pictures from it. The device is a transducer between digital computers and pictures. SCAD can be o...

Our group is concerned with atomic structure and with interactions between atoms. Experiments are in progress to determine the magnetic moments of the proton and deuteron to high precision, and to obtain absolute values of nuclear shielding constants in some simple molecules. The experiments are carried out with a hydrogen maser and an associated magnet of unusually high homogeneity and stabili...

The Cognitive Information Processing Group works on problems related to the analysis, manipulation, and simulation of the sense data in certain human perceptual and cognitive processes. Our major interest is increased understanding of visual processes; in particular, the ways by which humans can recognize and interpret pictorial information. Thus we do research on electronic methods for simplif...

R ECENT REVISIONS OF PREDOCTORAL AND POSTDOCTORAL training programs in medicine, and decreasing financial support for training programs in medical subspecialities, including hematology, have made it desirable to redefine the structure of subspecialties, including the numbers of subspecialists and their activities in academic institutions. How many hematologists now hold positions in academic in...

The advent of gas lasers has caused considerable interest in energy-transfer mechanisms that would create or degrade a population inversion. In molecular gases, rotational energy transfer (RET) is by far the most probable collision process, being typically 1-2 orders of magnitude more likely than vibrational transfer and 2-3 orders of magnitude more likely than electronic energy transfer. We ha...

Online delivery of programmes of Higher Education typically involves a distributed community of students interacting with a single university site, at which the teachers, learning resources and administration of the programme are located. The alternative model, of a fully ‘Virtual University’, which assumes no physical campus, poses problems of resource provision, recognition and accreditation....

This paper automates the design and implementation of students’ attendance management system, taken into consideration easy access and time saving. The system will be used in faculty of computing and information system (FCIT) at King Abdulaziz University (KAU). Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and wireless technology are two technologies which will be applied as infrastructure in the indoo...

Internet has completely changed the ways of producing and communicating knowledge. Today it is possible to attend University without any space or time limitation. The International Telematic University UNINETTUNO (UTIU) has been developing an organizational and psycho-pedagogical model and a technological structure, which, thanks to Internet, give everyone the possibility to attend the Universi...

academics of universities have a critical and important role in the development and progress of countries as the main pillars of the higher education system. job dissatisfaction can lead to their reduced research efficiency and work quality. this study was conducted to evaluate job satisfaction and dissatisfaction among academics of shiraz university of medical sciences, shiraz, iran. it was a ...

The aim of this project was to pilot plagiarism detection software and online marking, evaluating its use with staff on a first year undergraduate module within the psychology department at a UK university. One hundred and sixty undergraduate psychology students submitted three assignments via Turnitin, and staff used the software to check for instances of academic misconduct and marked submiss...
