Objective: This study sought to better understand the research expectations of first-year students upon beginning university study, and how these expectations differed from those of their professors. Most academic librarians observe that the research expectations of these two groups differ considerably and being able to articulate where these differences are greatest may help us provided more focused instruction, and allow us to work more effectively with professors and student support services. Methods: 317 first-year undergraduate students and 75 professors at Mount Saint Vincent University in Halifax, NS were surveyed to determine what they each expected of first-year student research. Students were surveyed on the first day of term so as to best understand their research expectations as they transitioned from high school to university. Results: The gulf between student and professor research expectations was found to be considerable, especially in areas such as time required for reading and research, and the resources necessary to do research. While students rated their preparedness for university as high, they also had high expectations related to their ability to use non-academic sources. Not unexpectedly, the majority of professors believed that students are not prepared to do university-level research, they do not take enough responsibility for their own learning, they should use more academic research sources, and read twice as much as students believe they should. Conclusions: By better understanding differing research expectations, students can be guided very early in their studies about appropriate academic research practices, and librarians and professors can provide students with improved research instruction. Strategies for working with students, professors and the university community are discussed.

Portable cloud processing has picked up notoriety as of late in light of less force utilization and overhead of cell phones. Versatile cloud registering based wellbeing observing, gaming, learning, and business are picking up significance step by step. This part talks about the unrest of portable cloud processing including its design, points of interest, and applications. Different issues of versatile cloud registering are concentrated with arrangements. Towards the examination of these huge volumes of information, huge information and information investigation have become developing exploration fields, pulling in the consideration of the scholarly community, industry and governments. Scientists, business people, chiefs and issue solvers see ‘large information’ as the apparatus to reform different enterprises and areas, for example, business, medicinal services, retail, research, instruction and open organization. Offloading alludes to a process where information stockpiling, calculations and computations are executed in a remote cloud rather than mobile device. Thusly, the energy consumed by the gadget is expanded just as the troubles of capacity and asset constraints are expelled. Right now, have talked about on offloading with its applications toward vitality effectiveness.

<p>This critique aimed to; 1) synthesize a body of knowledge of educational research methodology, 2) analyze and compare educational research methodology in Thai and international research articles, and 3) critique problems, strengths and weaknesses and put forward suggestions for standardizing Thai educational research methodology. Data were obtained from eight international textbooks, 95 articles and four Thai educational research methodology experts. Results revealed that the principles and international standards of educational research methodology included eight methodological categories which covered 34 characteristics. Findings from a comparison of Thai and international research articles indicated that Thai and international research articles were similar in 15 characteristics and different in five characteristics. Thai research articles had six problems relating to educational research methodology: information searching and English skills, educational research instruction, lack of experts in educational research methodology, research finding distribution, educational researcher development, and research article format. </p>
