Dependence of collision frequency on distance between two hard-sphere particles estimated by computer simulation

A Monte Carlo simulation is performed to study the dependence of collision frequency on interparticle distance for a system composed of two hard-sphere particles. The simulation quantitatively shows that the collision frequency drops down sharply as the distance between two particles increases. This characteristic provides a useful evidence for the collision-reaction dynamics of aggregation process for the two-particle system described in the other reference.

Estimation of Correlation Distance of Soil Properties by Geostatistics

Random field theory has been used to model the spatial average soil properties, whereas the most widely used, geostatistics, on which also based a common basis (covariance function) has been successfully used to model and estimate natural resource since 1960s. Therefore, geostistics should in principle be an efficient way to model soil spatial variability Based on this, the paper presents an alternative approach to estimate the scale of fluctuation or correlation distance of a soil stratum by geostatistics. The procedure includes four steps calculating experimental variogram from measured data, selecting a suited theoretical variogram model, fitting the theoretical one to the experimental variogram, taking the parameters within the theoretical model obtained from optimization into a simple and finite correlation distance 6 relationship to the range a. The paper also gives eight typical expressions between a and b. Finally, a practical example was presented for showing the methodology.

Essex Adult Community Learning: PTLLS for distance and blended learning

Funded by the LSIS Excellence and Improvement Fund, Essex Adult Community Learning has produced a distance/blended learning resource on CD-Rom for tutors in the post-16 sector to achieve the City & Guilds PTLLS (7303 Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector) at Level 4. The aim of the resource is to improve teaching and learning by providing a flexible way to access initial teacher training where candidates may otherwise find it difficult or impossible to attend a taught course. It is also intended to increase tutors' own e-learning skills.

ITS Training: 'VLE - no distance too far - enhancing the learner journey and business processes'

ITS Training has undergone a revolutionary transformation in the past two years. The company has saved money, generated more business, improved recruitment, retention and achievement and expanded throughout the world because of its virtual learning environment (VLE): the ‘Student Campus'. Under its previous paper-based distance learning programme it was a hard enough task to deliver lectures to students in Liverpool. Now, the company has a classroom of learners in Tokyo, Japan.

Developing and Validating Distance Learning Awards Guidance Document (MMU)

The principal purpose of this document is to assist programme teams throughout the development process when they are considering the development or review of a route through the award where it will be delivered wholly, or primarily, via online distance learning. Please note that this document is current as of Sept 2015 but it is considered to be an evolving document and is updated/tweaked from time to time.

Outputs from the Manchester Metropolitan University distance learning think tank event

An overview of, and the emergent themes from, the Manchester Metropolitan University distance learning think tank event which took place on 10th July 2014 and aimed to provide a forum to explore and discuss some of the key issues for colleagues across the university involved in planning, setting-up and delivering such programmes at MMU.

Manual de usuario del portal de Guías Clínicas Informatizadas Aide Portal

En los últimos años, las Guías Clínicas basadas en la revisión sistemática de la evidencia científica se han convertido en un vehículo esencial para la transferencia efectiva del conocimiento médico a la atención primaria. Sin embargo, su difusión no ha sido todo lo efectiva que hubiera sido deseable. En este contexto aparece Aide Portal (www.aide-portal.ehu.es), el primer portal de habla hispana de Guías Clínicas Informa-tizadas ejecutables. Aide Portal facilita la asimilación del conocimiento contenido en guías clínicas, ya que ofrece múltiples funcionalidades como la particularización de las recomendaciones proporcionadas por las guías a pacientes concretos, la conexión con sistemas de Historia Clínica Electrónica o el acceso a informa-ción terminológica, bibliográfica y farmacológica en tiempo real. En este informe detalla paso a paso cómo extraer el máximo rendimiento de todas las funcionalidades que ofrece Aide Portal, y resultará de especial ayuda a aquellos profesionales del ámbito sanitario que deseen familiarizarse con el mismo.
