Because more and more people are taking online courses, we need to understand the security issues of e-learning. The security aspect is even more important for the companies which use e-learning systems to deliver training courses to their employees. E-learning is a new method of learning which depends on the Internet in its execution, and is well known that Internet has become the venue for a new set of illegal activities, so e-learning environment is exposed to such threats. Information security can be obtained using methods such as cryptography, network protocols and others. In this paper we will discuss the typical threats of e-learning systems and we will see how we can address these issues. We will also discuss the security and privacy vulnerabilities of the most popular open-source e-learning systems, Moodle.

Replication is the key factor in improving availability, fault-tolerance and accessibility of data in all types of distributed systems. Replicateddata is stored at multiple sites so that it can be used even when some copies are not available due to site failures anddatabases are kept synchronized to maintain consistency. The scope of distributing these replicas is local data processing. This paper describes the importance of synchronous partial replication, implementation and query optimization steps using Oracle technology for an E-learning portal of a university with geographically distributed locations.

The distributed systems are attractive for the users with various, interactive activities that require large processing capabilities, resource sharing and high availability. This paper presents the advantages of e-Learning education and focus on the importance of data replication in the design of a distributeddatabase system that an e-learning portal uses. In addition, we analyze the available methods and strategies of data replication depending on needs, for improving performance and increasing data availability. The purpose of this paper is to present the advantages of using data replication technology in e-learning systems by universities with geographically distributed locations.

This paper presents the advantages of e-Learning education and focus on query processing in distributeddatabases. For this, we present the factors that influence distributed query optimization and examine the optimization strategies of query execution. The goal of this paper is to present strategies of optimizing query execution in e-learning systems used mainly by universities with geographically distributed locations, in order to obtain a system response time as low as possible and to minimize the total cost of implementation.

McCarthy, AliceMain Text
“In June 2003
the scientific and medical communities at MIT Harvard University and its affiliated hospitals and the Whitehead Institute banded together as collaborating partners to form the Eli and Edythe L. Broad Institute based in Cambridge MA. The Broad Institute established with initial funding from a $100 million philanthropic donation from the Los Angeles-based Broad family was primarily viewed as a marriage between the Whitehead Institute's Center for Genome Research (WICGR) and the Harvard Institute of Chemistry and Cell Biology (ICCB). Eli Broad founder and chairman of AIG SunAmerica Inc. explained “the purpose of the Broad Institute is to create a new type of research institute to build on the accomplishments of the human genome project and to move to clinical applications to both prevent and cure diseases.”
Every Thursday morning we meet with perhaps 20 faculty members and 100 other researchers to discuss what we're all doing and should be doing next. -David Altschuler
This paragraph was written five years ago when the Broad Institute was in its very earliest days as a life science research community (McCarthy 2005). Since that time “the Broad” as it's known has kept true to Eli Broad's vision having attracted a talented group of researchers faculty trainees and professional staff. This 1600 person research community known internally as “Broadies” includes faculty staff and students from throughout the MIT and Harvard biomedical research communities and beyond with collaborations spanning over a hundred private and public institutions in more than 40 countries worldwide.
“What is special about the Broad is that we have people from Harvard MIT and the Harvard hospitals come together and work on problems of shared interest that could not be solved in their own individuals labs” explains David Altshuler M.D. Ph.D. Deputy Director and one of the Broad's six core faculty members. “These problems require expertise beyond any one principal investigator and in

We propose and analyze additive preprocessing for computing a vector in the null space of a matrix and a basis for this space. due to our preprocessing, instead of singular linear systems we solve nonsingular ones, which preserve the conditioning properties and the structure of the input matrices. We extend our preprocessing to decrease the size and the condition number of an ill conditioned input matrix. We also cover applications to the eigenspace computations and to generating effective preconditioners for a linear system of equations. Copyright 2007 ACM.

In this paper we seek all real roots of a polynomial with real coefficients and real and nonreal roots. Somewhat paradoxically, one of the most effective solutions is by approximating these real roots semi-numerically together with all nonreal roots. Alternative methods are symbolic, based on descartes' rule of signs (which can be combined with the continued fraction approximation algorithm) or the Sturm (or Sturm-Habicht) sequences. We combine various old and new techniques to devise semi-numerical algorithms that are effective where the real roots do not lie near the nonreal ones. Copyright 2007 ACM.
We give a straightforward computable-model-theoretic definition of a property of Δ02 sets called order-computability. We then prove various results about these sets which suggest that, simple though the definition is...

In this paper, we extend the observer/control strategies previously published in [25] to an n -link, serially connected, direct drive, rigid link, revolute robot operating in the presence of nonlinear friction effects modeled by the Lu-Gre model. In addition, we also present a new adaptive control technique for compensating for the nonlinear parameterizable Stribeck effects. Specifically, an adaptive observer/controller scheme is developed which contains a feedforward approximation of the Stribeck effects. This feedforward approximation is used in a composite controller/observer strategy which forces the average square integral of the position tracking error to an arbitrarily small value. Experimental results are included to illustrate the performance of the proposed controllers.
