An End User\u27s Model for Communications Technologies in The Twenty First Century

This paper presents an end user\u27s model for understanding the use of communications technology or media in the 21st century. The rapid advancement of communications technologies like Email, Group Decision Support System and Video Conferencing are not being taken advantage of today. A model is presented and then explained in terms of the existing technology. A review of the literamre is provided at each step of the way. A table summarizes the information reviewed

The Naukratis Project, 1983

"During the summer of 1983 the Naukratis Project conducted the fifth and final in-field season of a program designed to elucidate the development of civilization in a twenty-five square kilometer section of the western Nile Delta. Although primarily intended as a study season, limited excavation and survey work were conducted at Kom Ge'if (Naukratis), Kom Firin and Kom Dahab, while detailed analysis of material previously excavated at these sites was being completed."--First paragraph.Includes bibliographical reference

Excavations in the South Mound at Naukratis : 1981

�In 1883 the ancient city of Naukratis was identified with the Egyptian village of Kom Ge'if by the patriarch of British archaeology, Sir William Flinders Petrie. Subsequent excavation by Petrie and other archaeologists at the end of the nineteenth century succeeded in uncovering much of the Archaic (7th-6th century B.C.) city which, according to Herodotus, was the only emporium in Egypt to which the early Greek merchants could bring their wares. While the work of these early excavators did much to increase our knowledge of the early phases of the history of Naukratis, it also raised many questions, and in an attempt to answer these questions the Naukratis Project was conceived. This project, which includes archaeological survey and excavation at more than a dozen sites in a 25 kilometer area to the north and west of Cairo, utilizes archaeological techniques developed after Petrie's time. By using a wide range of support disciplines not normally integrated into nineteenth century archaeological research, the excavators are endeavoring to place Naukratis and its environs in their total chronological, historical and ecological perspective. The following report deals with but a single facet of the work conducted by the Naukratis Project during the 1981 season: the excavations in the South Mound at Naukratis."�First paragraph.Includes bibliographical reference

The Naukratis Project : 1982

"During the summer of 1982, the Naukratis Project conducted its fourth season of archaeological excavation and survey in a 30 km. area to the north and west of the ancient city of Naukratis (modern Kom Ge'if) in the western Nile Delta."--First paragraph.Includes bibliographical reference

Enterprise Content Management: Understanding the Taxonomy

In an effort to understand content, its taxonomy and management, we define content management as the process of managing the creation, categorization, delivery and archiving of content in which workflow and business processes are maximized. Built upon what industry experts have to offer about enterprise content taxonomy, we have enacted a framework to better understand, create and manage enterprise taxonomies. This framework will be able to integrate rich content, modern computing technology, advanced analytics, automated worlflow, business requirements and human resources into a process where companies can easily manage their information for decision making and gaining competitive advantages

“We are America’s Number One Enemy”: The Experiences of Middle Eastern Muslim Men College Students Navigating Higher Education in the United States

Muslim students in higher education are affected by the hardships of oppression, discrimination, prejudices, and stereotypes associated with the increasing Islamophobia and xenophobia within the U.S. The current literature on Middle Eastern Muslim men college students lacks an understanding of their lived experiences on U.S. college campuses. The purpose of this study is to understand how Middle Eastern Muslim men college students navigate a university within a divisive political context. This phenomenological study conducted semi-structured interviews with seven Middle Eastern Muslim men students. Data gathered informs how participants of this study made sense of their experience navigating higher education institutions. The findings describe that Middle Eastern Muslim men college students must fight negative perceptions, face the challenge of feeling alone socially and academically, and commit to education with the support of their families. After the findings, this paper provides a discussion and a list of recommendations for research and practice to be inclusive and elevate the lived experiences of Middle Eastern Muslim men students in higher education. While this study took place in the U.S., the discussion and recommendations apply to all colleges and universities worldwide

Bradykinin receptors in GtoPdb v.2021.3

Bradykinin (or kinin) receptors (nomenclature as agreed by the NC-IUPHAR subcommittee on Bradykinin (kinin) Receptors [91]) are activated by the endogenous peptides bradykinin (BK), [des-Arg9]bradykinin, Lys-BK (kallidin), [des-Arg10]kallidin, [Phospho-Ser6]-Bradykinin, T-kinin (Ile-Ser-BK), [Hyp3]bradykinin and Lys-[Hyp3]-bradykinin.

Integrating evolution into ecological modelling: accommodating phenotypic changes in agent based models.

PMCID: PMC3733718This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited.Evolutionary change is a characteristic of living organisms and forms one of the ways in which species adapt to changed conditions. However, most ecological models do not incorporate this ubiquitous phenomenon. We have developed a model that takes a 'phenotypic gambit' approach and focuses on changes in the frequency of phenotypes (which differ in timing of breeding and fecundity) within a population, using, as an example, seasonal breeding. Fitness per phenotype calculated as the individual's contribution to population growth on an annual basis coincide with the population dynamics per phenotype. Simplified model variants were explored to examine whether the complexity included in the model is justified. Outputs from the spatially implicit model underestimated the number of individuals across all phenotypes. When no phenotype transitions are included (i.e. offspring always inherit their parent's phenotype) numbers of all individuals are always underestimated. We conclude that by using a phenotypic gambit approach evolutionary dynamics can be incorporated into individual based models, and that all that is required is an understanding of the probability of offspring inheriting the parental phenotype
