Very High

Social networks like Facebook or MySpace have become very popular in recent years. The number of users visiting these networks on a regular basis is already very high and still increasing. The integration of users into such networks is typically achieved via web interfaces. In addition, modern mobile devices have been developed to support the “reachable everywhere” mentality. They feature up-to-date communication and web interfaces, offering the capacities of small computer systems. By combining these capacities with so-called mobile software agents, a seamless integration of users in on-line communities can be reached. This chapter highlights the potential of software agents for sophisticated interaction in ubiquitous, mobile applications by utilizing the example of social networks as a practical scenario.

Potential Use

Mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets have become very popular and together with the enhancements on mobile networks have changed the way the users interact. New applications and paradigms (such as social and collaborative networks) have appeared, and their development is now more important than ever. In this scenario, the technology of mobile software agents is an adequate option, since mobile agents can be used to overcome the difficulties and limitations of such an environment. Mobile software agents need a middleware (the agent execution platform) that allows them to exist and provides them the means to develop their potential. There exist a number of such platforms with different features but also some limitations. In this chapter, the authors discuss in detail all these questions and survey the most popular agent platforms from the point of view of their potential use in mobile environments.

Minimum Distances

A Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope (STEM) was coupled to a small computer. The system (see Fig. 1) has been built using a Philips EM400, equipped with a scanning attachment and a DEC PDP11/34 computer with 34K memory. The gun (Fig. 2) consists of a continuously renewed tip of radius 0.2 to 0.4 μm of a tungsten wire heated just below its melting point by a focussed laser beam (1). On-line operation procedures were developped aiming at the reduction of the amount of radiation of the specimen area of interest, while selecting the various imaging parameters and upon registration of the information content. Whereas the theoretical limiting spot size is 0.75 nm (2), routine resolution checks showed minimum distances in the order 1.2 to 1.5 nm between corresponding intensity maxima in successive scans. This value is sufficient for structural studies of regular biological material to test the performance of STEM over high resolution CTEM.

Mobile learning can be identified as the next stage in the development of e-learning. In this regard, <strong>the purpose of this paper</strong> is to propose a model for mobile learning integration in higher education which is based on analysis of students’ expectations. То achieve this goal, a survey has been conducted among students enrolled in programs in the field of information and communication technologies. The analysis of the collected data shows that students have mobile devices, which they use not only for communication on social networks, but also for education. In addition, their expectations regarding mobile learning have been identified taking into account their study program and their previous experience with an e-learning platform.

This article is written about the result of research on the improving the technology for the development of a culture of students’ communication based on English in the context of the activation of ethnic-cultural relations. The tasks of the research consist of fromstudy and theoretical understanding of philosophical, pedagogical, psychological and linguistic literature on the development of students' culture of communication in English in the context of intensification of ethno cultural relations;studying the experience of foreign countries (sites), improving the mechanism for developing a culture of student communication based on the creation of the “The art of communication” platform in social networks Facebook and Telegram in English;improving the culture of student communication in English based on an innovative approach to technology development (“Communication Clinic”, “On-line communication environment”, “On-line ambulance”);improving the criteria for assessing the degree of knowledge of students' communication culture in English and the development of scientific and methodological recommendations.. The article consists of from introduction, literature survey, methodology, recommendation, discussions, and conclusion.
