This paper reports the experiences from the implementation of a Small Private Online Course in Management Education which has been designed to support learner engagement and promote digital competency. We describe the instructional design in detail, present some exploratory findings from a mixed-methods course evaluation and reflect on the lessons learned.

In this article, we focus on the analysis of discrete versions of the Calderón problem in dimension d ≥ 3. In particular, our goal is to obtain stability estimates for the discrete Calderón problems that hold uniformly with respect to the discretization parameter. Our approach mimics the one in the continuous setting. Namely, we shall prove discrete Carleman estimates for the discrete Laplace o...

In this paper, we present our work on building a Grid information knowledge base, which is a key component of a semantic Grid information system. A Core Grid Ontology (CGO) is developed for building a Grid knowledge base; and the SPARQL query language is adopted to query the knowledge base.

In this work, we are concerned with the inverse scattering by interfaces for the linearized and isotropic elastic model at a fixed frequency. First, we derive complex geometrical optic solutions with linear or spherical phases having a computable dominant part and an H α-decaying remainder term with α < 3, where H α is the classical Sobolev space. Second, based on these properties, we estimate ...

Ontology engineering is a relatively new and immature science. With new possible applications and often non-normative standard proposals emerging rapidly it is hard to find one universal formalization of ontology engineering rules. This causes many authors to fall into a trap of focusing on the application of an ontology and not giving enough attention to the ontology itself. Such approach resu...

The study investigated the effects of the intervention of a computerized graphic organizer (CGO), Inspiration, on a group of EFL college students’ performance of English reading-to-write tasks. Students were given two pretests to determine their entry levels of English proficiency of reading and writing. After the CGO treatment, they were given two posttests. Both preand post-intervention measu...

The Aladin interactive sky atlas, developed at CDS, is a service providing simultaneous access to digitized images of the sky, astronomical catalogues, and databases. The driving motivation is to facilitate direct, visual comparison of observational data at any wavelength with images of the optical sky, and with reference catalogues. The set of available sky images consists of the STScI Digitiz...

terials, operated in a pressure-driven mode, plotted as a function of inverse temperature. This Rgure is intended to give some appreciation of the Suxes that are attainable; however, they are not normalized to a given partial pressure gradient or thickness of membrane, and thus the Suxes are not directly comparable. Taking a value of between 10 and 100 L m 2 min 1 as the level of oxygen Sux nee...
