Two sections of university-level technical writing courses were given an authentic task to write an article for publication for an outside stakeholder. A quasi-experimental study was conducted to determine the differences in learning outcomes between students using traditional writing methods and those using social media to generate articles. One section was randomly assigned to follow the trad...

The interaction of radiation with cells and tissues has a random nature. Therefore, understanding the random nature of cell killing that is determined by Poisson distribution statistics is an essential point in education of radiation biology. RadBioStat is a newly developed educational MATLAB-based software designed for computer-assisted learning of the target theory in radiation biology. Altho...

Abstract— In order to provide complete security in a computer system and to prevent intrusion, intrusion detection systems (IDS) are required to detect if an attacker crosses the firewall, antivirus, and other security devices. Data and options to deal with it. In this paper, we are trying to provide a model for combining types of attacks on public data using combined methods of genetic algorit...

Computer-mediated discourse is the communication produced when human beings interact with one another by transmitting messages via networked computers. The study of computer-mediated discourse (henceforth CMD) is a specialization within the broader interdisciplinary study of computer-mediated communication (CMC), distinguished by its focus on language and language use in computer networked envi...

15.1.1.1 Principal Focus. This chapter will focus essentially on asynchronous text-based computer-mediated communication (CMC). By this, we mean email, whether one-to-one or one-to-many, e-mail-based discussion lists, bulletin boards, computer conferencing environments, and the growing number of Web-mediated manifestations of these types of communication. As technologies change, the forms of CM...

This chapter asks “What is meant by computermediated communication research?” Numerous databases were examined concerning business, education, psychology, sociology, and social sciences from 1966 through 2005. A survey of the literature produced close to two thousand scholarly journal articles, and bibliometric techniques were used to establish core areas. Specifically, journals, authors, and c...
