Accessibility is both an important concept, and a powerful indicator, in the understanding of the impact of spatial technologies, i.e. transportation, communication, and information technologies. However, virtually all existing measures of intra-metropolitan accessibility incorporate only transportation without considering other means of spatial interaction. In this paper, the author argues tha...

This paper examines the prospects for rural areas within the Information Society, referring particularly to the EU experience. Among these are the diminishing e!ects of distance from core markets and enhancing the learning capacities of rural areas by improving access to relevant information. EU policy to date has been in#uenced by a strong technology dimension with an emphasis on the installat...

Internet-distributed systems are beginning to offer a serious platform for stable, long-lived, flexible applications development. Moreover, such Internet-scale applications are motivating new modes of work and company integration such as teleworking and virtual enterprises. There is an increasing realisation that within such flexible working structures that applications will have to support som...

To err is human. Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are often not followed and lead to adverse outcomes. The issue on implementation of CPG is complex. A review of CPG implementation is done to identify the barriers and enablers. For the first time, a fishbone diagram is used to delineate the root-causes. And Haddon matrix is applied to help understand the complexity of evidence-based implemen...

The aim of this study was to explore participants' experiences and opinions about a free-choice system in relation to policy objectives articulated by the national government and local authorities. A case study was conducted. Thirty-five informants participated. Qualitative interviews were undertaken. Results are discussed on how to address different dimensions of choice, not only where, but al...

Let HilbS be the Hilbert scheme of g points on a K3 surface S. Suppose that PicS = ZC where C is a smooth curve with C = 2(g − 1)n. We prove that HilbS is a Lagrangian fibration.

Scientific reasoning is a key skill in academic contexts and may be trained with interactive learning tasks, that require learners to explicitly give reasons for their solution. We provide a general, mathematically motivated algebraic model for reasoning tasks that enables computer-based analysis of answers and feedback generation, especially in the case of tasks that have distinct permissible ...
