tropicamide is an antimuscarinic agent used as eye drops for refractive examinations. the aim of this study was to develop a simple and suitable analytical method for determination of tropicamide in eye drops in the presence of excipients. a zero-crossing third and fourth derivative spectrophotometric method was described for determination of tropicamide in eye drops. the measurements were carr...

Presence in online classrooms has been linked to immediacy behaviors, instructor-student interaction, and participation. Research shows that presence can be managed and sustained, but little documentation exists about perceptions of the meaning of presence.

The technological opportunities provided by digital learning environments for electronic communicative transactions between learners and teachers, now common in Higher Education in the United Kingdom (UK) challenge the traditional concept of a learner and teacher relationship. This paper considers electronic interaction between learners and module facilitators and draws on a small study that ev...

This document explores an ambiguity in the interpretation of the element of the Presence Information Data Format for Location Objects (PIDF-LO) in cases where PIDF-LO is conveyed by the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). It provides recommendations for how the SIP location conveyance mechanism should adapt to this ambiguity. Documents standardizing the SIP location conv...
