Web sites have become a primary means of commerce and information exchange. Majority of web sites are designed by non-experts. Although there are guidelines and tips for designing a good web site, usability and accessability remain critical issues to be addressed by non-experts. Automated tools have emerged to help solve the problem. This paper reviews web site evaluation researches and perform...

Luciferase enzymes are involved in the bioluminescence reaction (light emission by living organisms). The bioluminescence process is a widespread phenomenon in the Nature. These enzymes are identified in some domains of life, but the luciferases from lampyrid genus are considered of for biological applications. The molecular cloning of a new type of firefly luciferase from Luciola lateralis was...

This article describes and evaluates a freestanding web site used to facilitate student learning in a large therapeutics course at Virginia Commonwealth University School of Pharmacy. The web site was developed in the fall of 1998 after this instructional strategy was piloted in select therapeutics lectures. The site is categorized into various content areas including a welcome page, course syl...

In this paper, we investigate the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problemsfor evaluating the archives websites’ performance with interval intuitionistic fuzzy information.Then,based on the TOPSIS method, calculation steps for solving MADM problems for evaluating thearchives websites’ performance with interval intuitionistic fuzzy information are given. The weightedHamming distances pr...

This research investigated whether a university ranking system called Eduroute could provide useful information regarding the usability of universities’ websites. A comparison was conducted between the results obtained by Eduroute regarding the ranking of the top three universities in Jordan, and the results obtained by the heuristic evaluation method regarding the usability of the top three un...

Hydrologic processes in the pinyon-juniper woodlands of the western region of the United States are variable because of the inherent interactions among the occurring precipitation regimes, geomorphological settings, and edaphic conditions that characterize the ecosystem. A wide range of past and present land-use practices further complicates comprehensive evaluations of these hydrologic process...
