Abstract: Online learning initia-tives over the past decade have become increasingly comprehen-sive in their selection of courses and sophisticated in their presen-tation, culminating in the recent announcement of a number of consortium and startup activities that promise to make a university

the perspective of evolutionary biology the broader context of communication, social interaction, cognition and speciation, forms a valuable and necessary framework from which to view human language. Adopting a non-evolutionary perspective on language ignores the central organizing theory of modern biology

In this paper we study the structural evolution of the AS topology as inferred from two different datasets over a period of seven years. We use a variety of topological metrics to analyze the structural differences revealed in the AS topologies inferred from the two different datasets

This article explores the following question: For firms that have outsourced major portions of their IT functions, what core IS capabilities do they need to retain and nurture, or create and develop, to ensure a strong IS capability over time? The challenges and lessons learned from implementing

-Darwinian and sociobiological paradigm still powerfully entrenched throughout our scientific and social systems provides the ideational core for the persistence of an inhumanistic scientific paradigm that not only devalues values but much else that distinguishes the human from the machine and the prehuman. A key factor

Abstract. In this paper we study the structural evolution of the AS topology as inferred from two different datasets over a period of seven years. We use a variety of topological metrics to analyze the structural differences revealed in the AS topologies inferred from the two different datasets

We discuss the lifetimes and evolution of clumps and cores formed as turbulent density fluctuations in nearly isothermal molecular clouds. In order to maintain a broad perspective, we consider both the magnetic and non-magnetic cases. In the latter, we argue that clumps are unlikely to reach a

obtained by a mobile Dopp-ler radar at close range are presented. The data afford higher-resolution views of DRCs and their accom-panying radial velocity fields than typically are available from operational radars, although one drawback is that some of the larger-scale perspective is sacrificed (e

The life of a modern Information System is often char-acterized by (i) a push toward integration with other sys-tems, and (ii) the evolution of its data management core in response to continuously changing application require-ments. Most of the current proposals dealing with these is-sues from a

This chapter presents a Philippine perspective on the concepts of peace, tolerance and harmony as core values of Philippine life and culture that have endured through-out the evolution and development of the nation from traditional to contemporary times. Although changes have occurred
