In March of 2014, a variant of novel porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) was first identified in South Korea and found to be most closely related to the U.S. variant strain OH851. The complete genome of the KOR/KNU-1406/2014 strain was sequenced and analyzed to investigate the U.S.-strain-like variant circulating in South Korea.

BACKGROUND Electronic knowledge resources constitute an important channel for accredited Continuing Medical Education (CME) activities. However, email usage for educational purposes is controversial. On the one hand, family physicians become aware of new information, confirm what they already know, and obtain reassurance by reading educational email alerts. Email alerts can also encourage physi...

Robotics is gaining tremendous momentum as the years pass by. Giants such as Google, Tesla and now Uber are coming up with self-driving cars. With technology advancing to such heights, this area of robotics is being tapped into by researchers and educational institutions worldwide. The robots that are used for this project are designed for the students at Rochester Institute of Technology to le...

Abstract This paper proposes an approach to find an optimum structure for educational levels of human forces. To this end, a Linear Programming (LP) Model integrated with a Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) was employed. The integrated model was employed using the SAM of Golestan Province of Iran. It was demonstrated that when unemployment is the result of inconsistency between supply and demand...

Most of the literature on Asynchronous Learning Networks (ALNs) has focused on the pedagogical and technological advantages of this educational delivery mode and the way ALNs can respond to the changing demands and pressures placed on institutions of higher education. However, there are considerable obstacles preventing the widespread implementation of ALNs. These obstacles, and the associated ...

Obstacles must be overcome in order to make viable public distribution of interactive remote experiences via the Internet. High latency and the fact that there are many more users than robots make traditional forms of telerobotics difficult. The Big Signal project seeks to overcome these obstacles using information interaction tightly coupled to a live autonomous rover mission. Information inte...

E-learning nowadays plays an important role in teaching because it is oriented toward the use of information and communication technologies that have become a part of the everyday life and day-to-day business. E-learning contributes to traditional teaching methods and provides many advantages to society and citizens. The main goal of the chapter is to explore e-learning use in developing countr...

Globalization of software development enables multiple teams residing in cities and countries to work together in a networked distributed fashion. However, the diversity between the software teams, their members, team leaders and managers can give rise to several practical problems and unidentified issues. The diversity arises due to lack of face to face communication, different cultural and ed...
