Mobile learning involves use of mobile devices to participate in learning activities. Most elearning activities are available to participants through learning systems such as learning content management systems (LCMS). Due to certain challenges, LCMS are not equally accessible on all mobile devices. This study investigates actual use, perceived usefulness and user experiences of LCMS use on mob...

This study proposed a decomposed SCORM (Sharable Course Object Reference Model) structure with embedded LCMS Broker that provides the integration of learning resources and balance of network traffic. The system consists of the Learning Management System (LMS) for processing basic data, learning data and learning records of learners, and the Learning Content Management Systems (LCMSs) for managi...

MOTIVATION Data reduction of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) spectra can be a challenge due to the inherent complexity of biological samples, noise and non-flat baseline. We present a new algorithm, LCMS-2D, for reliable data reduction of LC-MS proteomics data. RESULTS LCMS-2D can reliably reduce LC-MS spectra with multiple scans to a list of elution peaks, and subsequently to...

Liquid chromatography combined with electrospray ionization is widely used for direct analysis of polar and labile molecules by LCMS. The on-line coupling in LCMS is a major strength but also causes a principal limitation that each eluting analyte has to be analyzed immediately and is not available for detailed interrogation after the LCMS run. Here we developed a new chromatographic strategy, ...

This paper proposes an intelligent learning management system with load-balancing function based on Grid structure that allows for the replication of learning materials and balance of network traffic. The system consists of the Learning Management System (LMS) for processing basic data, learning data and learning records of learners, and the Learning Content Management Systems (LCMS) based on t...

Learning Content Management System (LCMS) supports e-learning applications with storage and efficient access for e-Learning Objects (LOs). In order to foster LCMS adoption by the e-learning community, an important issue is to bring course modelling to the realm of the LCMS. In this paper, we describe the Repository of Objects with Semantic Access (ROSA) project. ROSA is a LCMS that provides use...

Background: Determination of cyclosporine A (CsA) and tacrolimus (Tac) in dried blood spots (DBS) could enable drug monitoring in transplanted patients without the necessity of having to take venous blood samples. Therefore, we have developed a method for quantitative determination of calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) by liquid-chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LCMS). Methods: In a study with...

Aplysia can readily exhibit operant conditioning of their head-waving response when bright light is used as aversive reinforcement (Cook and Carew, 1986). In the first paper of this series (Cook and Carew, 1989a), we showed that the electromyographic (EMG) activity of a discrete band of neck muscles, the lateral columellar muscles (LCMs) of Aplysia is significantly correlated with the component...

In order to maximize road maintenance funds and optimize the condition of road networks, pavement management systems need detailed and reliable data on the status of the road network. To date, reliable crack and raveling data has proven difficult and expensive to obtain. To solve this problem, over the last 10 years Pavemetrics inc. in collaboration with INO (National Optics Institute of Canada...

In dieser Ausarbeitung wird eine, im Rahmen des eCult-Projektes erarbeitete, Lösung zur automatischen Bewertung von Datenbankaufgaben mittels des LCMS LONCAPA sowie des externen Bewertungstools Praktomat vorgestellt. Hierbei soll zum Einem auf die Verbindung des LCMS mit externen Bewertungstools, wie dem Praktomat, sowie auf die Funktionsweise und das Verfahren der automatischen Bewertung von S...
