The paper describes a nomadic guide that considers the context of use (CoU) for information selection and presentation. A nomadic system is defined by continuous access to information spaces independent from specific devices. The CoU is defined by the location and characteristics of the user. Interests of the user deduced from the navigation in the physical and information space are the main go...

The present study was conducted with the aim of effecting consumer media on the Indicators of rural and nomadic lifestyle Gilane Gharb in 2017 by descriptive method. The statistical population consists of youths of 20-34 years old in rural and nomadic of Gilane Gharb. The multi-stage cluster sampling method was used and the sample size was 381 based on Cochran's formula. The data were collected...

During the last decade, a number of research activities have been performed to enable user interfaces and the underlying user activities to be migrated from one device to another. We call this “Nomadic User Interfaces”. The primary goal of these research activities has been to develop the technologies to enable this. However, not much is known about the usability aspects of Nomadic User Interfa...

We use K∗ n to denote the bidirected complete graph on n vertices. A nomadic Hamiltonian decomposition of K∗ n is a Hamiltonian decomposition, with the additional property that “nomads” walk along the Hamiltonian cycles (moving one vertex per time step) without colliding. A nomadic near-Hamiltonian decomposition is defined similarly, except that the cycles in the decomposition have length n − 1...

Nomadic computing using powerful portable systems has entered the mainstream of computing due to the recent progress in terms of performance and usability of the necessary hardware. However, most of these systems are still being used stand-alone with almost no provision for management support in the home as well as in the visited domain. This complicates connguration by forcing manual intervent...

Nomadic pastoralists of the African Sahel, the high steppes of central Asia (including the Tibetan Plateau and Mongolia), parts of the Near and Middle East, the Arabian Peninsula and India use mobility to manage uncertainty and risk in arid and semiarid ecosystems (Scoones 1994). In these areas, livelihoods are threatened by drought, diseases, insects and war, among other calamities. Semiarid p...

The paper builds on the work of Rossito et al. (2014) on collaborative nomadic work to develop three categories of practice of nomadic collaborative learning groups. Our study is based on interviews, workshops and observations of two undergraduate student’s group practices engaged in self-organised, long-term collaborations within the frame of Problem and Project Based Learning. By analysing th...

The analysis of polymorphic microsatellites is relevant for forensic, paternity testing and to study genetic admixtures and the genetic relationships between populations. Colombia has the second highest number, after Brazil, of Amerindian tribes in America (around 81) followed by Mexico (68 tribes) and Venezuela (20 tribes). Contrary to other genetic markers such as HLA and blood groups, Short ...

BACKGROUND In 2010, there were ~ 36 million migrant children under 18 y old in China. This study compared patterns of myopia prevalence and progression between migrant and resident children. METHODS Eight hundred forty-two migrant children from 2 migrant schools and 1081 from 2 local schools in Baoshan District, Shanghai, were randomly chosen. Baseline measurements were taken on children in g...
