Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an automated identification technology that uses tags to transmit data upon RFID reader queries. Compared to barcodes identification technology, RFID tags provide a unique identifier, which raises concerns over user privacy, such as clandestine tracking and inventorying [1]. In its original version, a RFID tag responds to a reader query with its fixed un...

This paper describes the implementation experience of an Internet based distance-learning course currently offered at University of Salford in the UK. The course uses the Blackboard system which provides a virtual teaching and learning environment. It facilitates the interactions between the tutors and students to be conducted over the Internet, which were traditionally only possible in classro...

Learning technology is seen as one solution to the problem of delivering management training in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs).

The proposed next generation accelerator and synchrotron light facilities will require active feedback systems to control multi-bunch instabilities. These feedback systems must operate in machines with thousands of circula,ting bunches and with short (2-4 ns) interbunch intervals. The functional requirements for transverse (betatron) and longitudinal (synchrotron) feedback systems are presenti....
