The creation of a Centre for Cultural Witness at Lambeth Palace, to serve the Church England within an ecumenical partnership that already stretches across Europe, offers opportune time reflect upon place—even meaning—of “culture” in witness church. analysis presented here identifies three senses which term might be applied witness: as from comes, through it and comes. At least theory, strong c...

Abstract. Inverse problems related to the interaction of radiation with participating media have been attracting the attention of various researchers for many years due to the relevant applications not only in engineering, but also in astrophysics, physical oceanography (hydrologic optics), remote sensing and atmosphere/hydrosphere optics among many others. In this work the determination the si...

A source-detector methodology is presented for the construction of an inverse transport equation that once solved provides estimates for radiative properties and/or internally distributed sources in participating media. From the proper combination of source and detector pairs, a system of non-linear equations is assembled, taking also in consideration experimental data on the exit radiation fro...

This paper aims to study the role of women in agricultural promotion and its effect on rural development. Research method in this study was based on a survey and the required information was collected through questionnaire from a sample of women especially rural women. The data were analyzed using Logit model. The results showed that women had a major role in farming including producion, conser...

In business education advanced collaboration skills and media literacy are important for surviving in a globalized business where virtual communication between enterprises is part of the day-by-day business. To transform these global working situations into higher education, a learning scenario between two universities in Germany and Austria was created where students worked together in virtual...

BACKGROUND Several studies suggest that General Practitioners (GPs) prefer "traditional" media such as journals or quality circles when they are seeking out different options to meet their continuing medical education (CME) requirements. A survey was designed in order to gain a better understanding of German General Practitioners' preferences for different forms of educational media that will m...

This paper studies distributed formation of femto-clouds in a UMTS LTE network. Femtocell access points (FAPs) are equipped with computational resources. They share their resources with neighboring FAPs and form local clouds with the aim to avoid the remote cloud costs while improving the user quality of experience (QoE) in terms of handling latency. In exchange for sharing their excess resourc...

Previous efforts in end-user development have focused on facilitating the mechanics of learning programming leaving aside social and cultural factors equally important in getting youth engaged in programming. As part of a fourmonth long ethnographic study, we followed two 12-year old participants as they learned the programming software Scratch and its associated file-sharing site, scratch.mit....

Much research has focused on studying complex phenomena through their reflection in social media, from drawing neighborhood boundaries to inferring relationships between medicines and diseases. While it is generally recognized in the social sciences that such studies should be conditioned on gender, time and other confounding factors, few of the studies that attempt to extract information from ...
