It is part of a project which is designed to assist in the revival of the movement for socialism by developing a w...

In the next few years, logic capacities for fieldprogrammable gate arrays are expected to exceed one million gates per device. While this expansion of FPGA device resources offers the promise of exceptional finegrained performance for developing technologies such as ASIC prototyping and FPGA computing, supporting computer-aided design tools have yet to be developed to target these devices rapid...

This study investigated the balance and emphasis of scientific literacy themes in Zambian high school physics course in an attempt to find out its potential of contributing to preparation of scientifically literate citizens. Results show that the national syllabus and examinations emphasized the investigative nature of science while textbooks placed most emphasis on basic knowledge of science. ...
