Online learning provides the potential for more differentiated, integrated, and open learning environments to solve team project assignments. We argue that although it is feasible to increase information richness via adopting multimedia technologies, the effectiveness to promote interpersonal skills, critical thinking, and cognitive learning processes via virtual group discussion is uncertain. ...

Compacted bentonite–sand mixture (CBM) is a kind of candidate buffer material high-level radioactive waste (HLW) disposal in many countries. It believed that the permeability CBM greatly related to its microstructure. The aim this study was search effect various aqueous mediums on microstructure and pore characteristics material. Permeation experiments X-ray computerized tomography (X-ray CT) w...

CONTEXT The examination of the accuracy and specificity of information reported by mediums addresses the existence of non-local information transfer. OBJECTIVE This study was designed to replicate and extend a previous methodology achieving positive findings regarding the anomalous reception of information about deceased individuals by research mediums under experimental conditions that elimi...

Steganography has proven to be one of the practical ways of securing data. It is a new kind of secret communication used mainly to hide secret data inside other innocent digital mediums. Most of existing steganographic techniques use digital multimedia files as cover mediums to hide secret data. Audio files and signals make appropriate mediums for steganography due to the high data transmission...

Future developments in AI and robotics, brain interfaces, the Internet and virtual and augmented reality, will make possible new types of integration of humans and machines which will change how we think, learn and live. This paper uses a story about a future scenario involving systems of this kind to respond to crises and disasters to explore the possibilities of collective intelligence and co...

The sudden increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) atmosphere due to high dependency on fossil products has created need for an urgent solution mitigate this challenge. Global warming, which is a direct result excessive CO2 emissions into atmosphere, one major issue that world trying curb, especially 21st Century where most energy generation mediums operate using products. This in...
