For many years, information technology (IT) has been used to find ways to add value for customers to entice them to purchase the products and services of a business. Many educators use the Internet to supplement existing modes of delivery. Importantly, the Internet is providing a number of added value supplemental benefits for subjects and courses delivered using this new, hybrid teaching mode. There are two aspects to subject delivery to where added value benefits may be applied, and that is in the administrative tasks associated with a subject and the educational tasks. In both instances, IT solutions can be employed to either fully or partially process some of these tasks. Given the complex and often fluid nature of the education process, it is rare that a fully integrated solution can be found to adequately service both aspects of subject delivery. Most solutions are partial in that key components are targeted by IT solutions to assist the subject coordinator in the process. If we examine closely the underlying benefits gained in the application of IT to these tasks, there is a strong parallel to the benefits to be gained by business organizations with similar applications of IT. While the actual benefits actually sought by academics depend on the motivation for the IT solution, the perceived benefits can be classified using standard categories used to gauge similar commercial applications. This article examines the possibility of translating the benefits of added value to the use of the Internet by tertiary educators for subject and course delivery. A brief discussion will occur on aspects of course and subject delivery in tertiary education and the use of information technology for added value. These concepts are drawn together to indicate how the Internet may be used for added value in tertiary education. Finally, these concepts were tested with a survey of members of the IS World list serve.

Information technology, computer science, etc. have been developed more and more in many countries in the world. Their subfields have already had many very crucial contributions to everyone life: production, politics, advertisement, etc. Especially, big data semantics, scientific and knowledge discovery, and intelligence are the subareas that are gaining more interest. Therefore, the authors display semantics for massive data sets fully in this chapter. This is very significant for commercial applications, studies, researchers, etc. in the world.

Microscopy Techniques

Despite its rapidly growing use in commercial applications, the morphology of LLDPE and its blends has not been thoroughly studied by microscopy techniques. As part of a study to examine the morphology of a LLDPE narrow fraction and its blends with HDPE via SEM, TEM and AFM, an appropriate etchant is required. However, no satisfactory recipes could be found in the literature. Mirabella used n-heptane, a solvent for LLDPE, as an etchant to reveal certain morphological features in the SEM, including faint banding in spherulites. A 1992 paper by Bassett included a TEM micrograph of an axialite of LLDPE, etched in a potassium permanganate solution, but no details were given.Attempts to use n-heptane, at 60°C, as an etchant were unsuccessful: depending upon thickness, samples swelled and increased in diameter by 5-10% or more within 15 minutes. Attempts to use the standard 3.5% potassium permanganate solution for HDPE were also unsuccessful: the LLDPE was severely overetched. Weaker solutions were also too severe.

National legislation is in place to facilitate reform of the United States health care industry. The Health Care Information Technology and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) offers financial incentives to hospitals, physicians, and individual providers to establish an electronic health record that ultimately will link with the health information technology of other health care systems and providers. The information collected will facilitate patient safety, promote best practice, and track health trends such as smoking and childhood obesity.
