The asymmetric unit of the title 1:2 adduct, C(12)H(10)N(4)·2C(8)H(8)O(2), comprises a single mol-ecule of 2-phenyl-acetic acid and half a mol-ecule of 3-pyridine-aldazine; the latter is completed by crystallographic inversion symmetry. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected into a three-component aggregate via O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. As the carboxyl group lies above the plane through the benze...

This position paper presents work in progress (within the first year) of the doctoral research into adoption of social collaborative e-learning in higher education. The research coins three concepts which intersect to form the fourth, social collaborative e-learning. These concepts are: informal learning, social networking and learning management. This paper explores the conceptual and theoreti...
