This study investigated the information needs and seeking behaviour of senior non-academic staff in selected universities in Nigeria. Whereas a lot has been written about teaching staff in universities, little is known through literature about the information needs and seeking behaviour of senior non-academic of Nigerian universities. The study adopted the survey research design. The population...

background:   by the development of e-learning in the world and also in iran, tabriz university of medical science has been implementing and expanding e-learning. the investigation of its problems from the academic staffs’ viewpoints, and proposing solutions in order to solve or eliminate the problem effects add to its advantages and provide sustainable basis according to the necessity of chang...

In this region of the electromagnetic spectrum there is some important astrophysics, such as the spectral peak of the alleged 2.7" K isotropic cosmic black-body radiation, thermal radiation by interstellar and possibly intergalactic dust, as well as intense radiation from galactic centers, and doubtless other information concerning the early history of an evolving universe. An experiment carrie...

It is fairly evident that one should be able to observe nonlinear effects in the interaction of lasers with matter. A 1-MW laser can create an electric field a few volts per angstrom in matter. Since this is on the order of atomic fields, it is not surprising that nonlinear interactions are observable in matter not possessing a center-of-inversion symmetry. In contrast, it is certainly not evid...

High time resolution observations at 115 MHz and 150 MHz have confirmed the marching subpulse behavior of CP1919 and AP2015+28 reported by Drake and Craft,I and have revealed similar behavior in MP0031 and CP0808 (Fig. II-1). The marching patterns for all four pulsars slope in the same sense; i. e., subpulses occur slightly earlier within the average pulse window with each succeeding pulse. Sim...

This thesis argues that principles of economy play an important role in determining the form of linguistic structures at the interface with the semantic component. The argument comes in the form of a variety of proposals regarding specific mechanisms that are active at this interface. Specifically, I suggest that Economy plays a role in determining relative scope, variable binding, and the form...

For some time there has been a discrepancy between theoretical and experimental values of microwave absorption in the terrestrial atmosphere. We felt that this is due to shortcomings in the theoretical treatment of pressure broadening when the significant overlap between adjacent lines occurs. Formal theories of pressure broadening have been given but have not been applied to the specific case ...

As self-medication is a worldwide problem of public health, this article had as objective to evaluate the behavior of the future health professionals with regard to the drug utilization, particularly, to the self-medication practice. 223 academic students from a public university in Recife City were interviewed, selected by proportional share in each course. A questionnaire on the drug utilizat...
