The upcoming Web 2.0 technologies change the aspects of eLearning fundamentally. The traditional paradigm of classroom teaching and homework learning will develop further towards sharing experiences and knowledge in word-wide social communities. Moreover, knowledge capturing in ambient environments gains more and more importance. These aspects characterize the so-called eLearning 2.0. This pape...

In this paper, we present a model to support decision-makers about where to locate safety barriers and mitigate the consequences of an accident triggering domino effects. Based on the features of an industrial area that may be affected by domino accidents, and knowing the characteristics of the safety barriers that can be installed to stall the fire propagation between installations, the decisi...

parameters such as future precipitation, temperature, snowfall, and runoff were modeled using precis regionalclimate modeling system in iran with the horizontal resolutions of 0.44×0.44°c in latitude and longitude under sresa2 and b2 scenarios. the dataset was based on hadam3p during the periods of 1961-1990 and 2071-2100. theoverall precipitation error of the model in the period of 1961-1990 w...

We describe a model for the compliance of a nanoimprint stamp with a grid of backside grooves, as proposed by Nielsen et al. [1]. We integrate the model with a fast simulation technique that we have previously demonstrated [2], to show how etched stamp-flexures reduce systematic, pattern-dependent residual layer thickness (RLT) variations while attenuating the contribution of random wafer nanot...

of amitriptyline is reported.The disease process was accompanied by noticeable loss of lung compliance, and a gross diffusion defect at alveolar level. It seems unlikely that the course was that of an aspiration or bronchopneumonia, and clinically and pathologically it resembled the changes seen in surfactant deficiency. It is suggested that amitriptyline in overdosage may interfere with the pr...

CONTEXT International differences in compliance of patients undergoing hemodialysis are poorly characterized and could contribute to international survival differences. OBJECTIVE To compare international differences in patient compliance with hemodialysis treatments. DESIGN A prospective observational study of patients undergoing hemodialysis in 1995 and a cross-sectional survey of health c...

Model-based scenario analysis with the ASM1 model was used to evaluate the effect of different process modifications on the biological nitrogen removal process for a specific case study (municipal wastewater treatment plant). Simulations showed that the construction of extra tank volume was needed to obtain the effluent standard of 15 mg N/l. However, the renovation scenarios resulting from a m...

This paper presents ongoing research in the field of application and further development of scenario-methods in strategic R&D processes. The core purpose of this study is to investigate how scientific and technological fields of innovation can be supported through participatory work with normative-narrative scenarios. The normative-narrative scenario approach focuses on a participatory communic...
