Paralleling the development of the information society, European Union institutions are making more and more information available electronically. The progress of this process is reviewed. It is a process which contributes to the openness of the EU institutions. How effective are electronic media in providing access to information? It is concluded that the journalistic and library professions w...

Introduction. Sharing of information across cultural boundaries does not always live up to expectations. Information behaviour is an underlying factor, which can contribute to poor use or non-use of the information or information services at the disposal of indigenous people in a development context. Method. A literature study of information behaviour, cultural contexts and information technolo...

In this reply, we briefly deal with each of these issues. As Lawson points out, we cite Martin Paldam (2003) to convince skeptical readers that the economic freedom indicators provide valuable information and should be used more often in empirical research. Indeed, the change in the economic freedom indicator can be used as a proxy for the institutional changes and policies generally supported ...

The fast changing or the development of technologies induces the possibility to process the information in key moments in different locations. Thus, not only those who are learning need mobile tools for learning, but also the trainers need mobile tools for preparing the classes, for coordinating the educational activities. Using this background, new patterns had been developed based on its main...

The structure and propagation properties of triple flames subject to buoyancy effects are studied numerically using a high accuracy scheme. A wide range of gravity conditions, heat release, and mixing widths for a scalar mixing layer are computed for ’upright’ and ’inverted’ triple flames (i.e, gravity pointed in parallel and in opposite directions of flame propagation). These results are used ...

This article focuses on the development of a data warehouse to facilitate government decision-making on national human resources development and to provide public access to information. A set of key challenges was confronted in the development of the data warehouse including: the conceptualisation, design, implementation and management of the data warehouse system. The underlying questions that...

human as the superior of the creature was more important for pre-socrates, but by emerging socrates this remark become pale because he pointed to be average of human's powers. after many decades, some grand-phipspher such as kierkegaard, nietzsche, martin heidegger and jean-paul sartre entered and they have taken attention to human and established existentialism.this academy spoke about hu...

Why should wait for some days to get or receive the public access to government information issues trends and strategies book that you order? Why should you take it if you can get the faster one? You can find the same book that you order right here. This is it the book that you can receive directly after purchasing. This public access to government information issues trends and strategies is we...

This paper reports on findings of a study conducted among over 750 small and mid size businesses of Central California regarding uses and application barriers for Information and Communication Technology solutions. This study focused on the scale, dimensions and reasons for existence of so called “Digital Divide”. It shows that primary reason for discrepancies in utilization of ICT among SMEs a...

We study a thermo-diffusive combustion model for premixed flames propagating in reactive gaseous mixtures which contain inert dust. As observed by Joulin, radiative transfer of heat may significantly enhance the flame temperature and its propagation speed. The Joulin effect is at its most pronounced in the parameter regime where the medium is very transparent while radiative flux dominates conv...
