Introduction
Distance learning or distance education is education from a distance. It is a method of instructing students, who are not physically present in a classroom. According to Honeyman & Miller (1993), distance learning is defined as “access to learning when the source of information and the learners are separated by time and distance, or both." (Honeyman & Miller, 1993). The later part of the 19th century and the early 20th century witnessed the first form of distance learning by correspondence course. By the year, 1920 more American students were studying through correspondence than through regular college. (Saettler, 1968). By the end of ...

In the journal titled Mapping the Spatial Influence of Crime Correlates: A Comparison of Operationalization Schemes and Implications for Crime Analysis and Criminal Justice Practice, Caplan Joel acknowledges the variety of independent variables that have significant direct correlation with particular crime outcomes that decades of research in the field of criminology have identified. The author admits that despite tremendous amount of research in criminology, researchers still understand little about correlates and research factors. He reiterates that there is a meager understanding of the manners in which the factors and correlates of crime become applicable in ways that represent their spatial ...

Introduction/Background Information

The high population growth rate and industrialization have predisposed the entire globe to an acute problem of power shortage. The increases in human population lead to higher demands for power since more industries get established to cushion people against any impending challenge of power shortage. Thus, the reliability of power is inherent to the methods of transmission used, efficiency of such methods, economies associated with these methods, safety measures, and the nature and state of materials used in the direct transmission of energy (Melhem, 2013). Current energy transmissions system relies on long-distance transmission lines since electricity is not necessarily ...

Abstract

The research proposal outlines the significance and need for adopting alternate sources of energy. The most abundantly available and inexhaustible source of energy is the solar energy. Sun provides 100,000 TW of energy to the earth which is much greater than the present amount of energy consumption which is 13 TW (Gratzel, 2007). A lot of research has been carried out to trap the solar energy and convert it to other usable forms. Though it is quite a difficult task, advancements in technology have enabled trapping of this natural resource possible. Our present energy needs could be met if ...

Design:

The methodology of this study combines both quantitative as well as qualitative research methods. The meaningful and careful combinations of behavioural and social study deepen and enhance the analysis, which in turn reduce the limitations of the study. However, quantitative data collection method would be less efficient because of the restrictive nature of a tightly controlled study (Boston, et al, 2011b). This study does not involve quantitative approach toward researching the topic since quantitative data enables researches to reject or accept a hypothesis; however, it fails to illustrate a phenomenon or respondents’ experience thoroughly. Further in this direction, the study ...

Teaching Strategies for Polygons and tessellations: Textbook or Computer?

Literature Review:
One of the outright elements that make computers a distinct criterion is the fact that it has high benefits for learners with special needs. Computers continue to prove extremely beneficial to students with certain limitations in speech, audio, and motor. Students with such special needs could use alternative devices (input and output or assistive technologies) to facilitate interaction with computers. This will also enable them do things, which could not accomplished normally and independently. They especially benefit from acquiring access to on-demand and patient tutors that allow them work at their respective paces. The goals achieved through ...

Early 21^st century is when the internet came to the limelight as a device that can be used to access any place so long as it has a phone and the possibility of accessing the internet, always referred to,“as a global village”. This is because of its ability to transmit information to where one can access the phone and the internet itself.In addition, most of the people these days who use it have incorporated the same into their cultures. Before, the use of internet was a virtual reality but currently it has become a reality rather than just an ideology.

In archeology, DNA analysis has been used as an investigatory tool since it became available to scientists. DNA analysis, which is a constantly developing and expanding field, has allowed archaeologists to precisely and decisively obtain results that solve archaeological, historical, and evolutionary questions. Unfortunately, the methods for using ancient DNA analysis tend to destroy the samples from which the DNA is extracted. The results can easily be affected by external contamination as well, which requires the research to be conducted within specialized laboratories by trained laboratory personnel (Arandjelovic, Guschanski, Schubert, Harris, Thalmann, Siedel, & Vigilant, 2009).
