Web technology in an instructional environment is primarily dedicated to distributing course materials to supplement traditional classroom learning. It also uses designed intelligence to adapt to learners’ specific needs. The main purposes of this study were to construct and determine the efficiency of adaptive web-based instruction for LIS students. The web-based content was designed to adapt ...

Our project starts from investigating if instruction-based sharing exists on commercial workloads such as Apache, Zeus, Jbb, and Oltp running on CMPs. We find that there is a large amount of instruction-based sharing on CMPs. Constructive interference at the instruction cache miss level also exists among different CMP cores. We further study if the implementation of a shared Markov table can he...

Intranasal route, ensuring suitable bioavailability of medicines under circumvention of the gastrointestinal degradation and hepatic first-pass elimination, has been a popular choice for drug delivery. Among nasal dosage forms, mucoadhesive solid inserts have been shown to resist mucociliary clearance and provide a prolonged nasal residence time. Hence, the purpose of this study was the prepara...

In recent years, there has been an increasing amount of literature on genre-based approaches to writing instruction. However, scant attention has been paid to the use of genre-based scaffolding in the realm of academic writing. Hence, in an attempt to tackle the problems prevalent in academic writing, this study set out to investigate the effect of genre-based scaffolding through sentence start...
