Distribution promises better efficiency, scalability, and availability, specifically of large-scale systems. This is also true for the computer-based training systems used by training departments. This paper addresses ...

Participating producers were provided with instructions and materials for sample collection. Up to 20 fresh fecal samples were collected from each of the 99 participating operations. Fresh fecal samples were submitted to one of 3 randomly assigned laboratories for evaluation. Upon arrival at the laboratories, all samples were processed for the enumeration of strongyle, Nematodirus, and Trichuris eggs using the modified Wisconsin technique. The presence or absence of coccidian oocysts and tapeworm eggs was also noted. In submissions where the strongyle eggs per gram exceeded 30, aliquots from 2 to 6 animals were pooled for DNA extraction. Extracted DNA was subjected to genus ...

However, no open reference architecture or service definitions have been reached so far. The work we will present in this paper is a proposal toward such an open architecture. Over standardised information models for e-...

Results from this standardization process allow Educational Content Providers (ECPs) to offer courses ready to use in any learning platform supporting the corresponding standards. This paper presents a set of software components with open interfaces that facilitate the development of distributed, interoperable and standards-driven Educational Content Providers. To materialize these interfaces or services, CORBA was selected as the technological supporting infrastructure.

Lema was assessed and evaluated in the city of Stuttgart, Germany. Several sites (urban, suburban and rural) categorized according to type and intensity of vehicular traffic were investigated. At these sites, plants of T.

For this to be possible in virtual environments, like the Internet, actual standardized data models for e-learning must be enriched with explicit "machine-processable" semantic information and appropriate inference rules. This would allow Learning Management Systems (LMS) to automatically process and integrate these models meaningfully in order to offer alternative behaviours depending on each learner and his particular needs. This paper analyses the impact of the upcoming Semantic Web, an extension of the current Web in which information is given an explicit meaning, on the consecution of real high-quality adaptive e-learning environments.

From the learner's point of view, one of the most challenging issues is to get used to the supporting tools, especially with the computing devices employed (e.g. DSPs). For this, students need to understand concepts from the Computer Architecture area. This paper presents a WWW-based virtual laboratory that provides learners with a suitable environment where Computer Architecture concepts, needed to face Computational Science education, can be acquired. Our contribution can be described as an open distributed platform to provide practical training. Services offered support the seamless integration of simulators written in Java, and include features like student tracking, collaborative tools, messaging, task and project management, or virtual file repositories. A CORBA-based distributed architecture to access real computer systems, available in labs at University facilities, is also described.

A well-conceived service or facility is always based on an underlying semantic model that is independent of the target platform. However, the model may not be distilled explicitly, and this is the case with OMG's vertical domain specifications because the model is not ex- ...
