detective, Mr. Sherlock Holmes. When Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) first

Advances in Web-Based Learning -- ICWL 2003

Second International Conference, Melbourne, Australia, August 18-20, 2003, Proceedings

nd The 2 International Conference on Web-Based Learning (ICWL 2003) took place in Melbourne, Australia. ICWL 2003 followed the tradition of the successful ICWL 2002 held in Hong Kong and aimed at providing an in-depth study of the technical and pedago- cal issues, as well as incorporating management issues of Web-based learning. Additionally, there was a focus on issues of interest to the learner, o?ering the optimal Web based learning environment to achieve high academic results. - akin University organized this conference in conjunction with the Hong Kong WebSociety,toprovideaforumwhichgatherededucators,researchers,techno- gists and implementers of Web-based learning from around the world to discuss, collaborate and advance all relevant issues pertaining to this area of research. The main focus of ICWL 2003 was on the most critical areas of Web-based learning, in particular, Web-based learning environments, virtual universities, pedagogical issues related to Web-based learning, multimedia-based e-learning, interactive e-learning systems, intelligence in on-line education, e-learning so- tions, CSCL, and authoring tools for e-learning. In total, the conference received 118 papers from researchers and practitioners from 13 countries. Each paper was reviewed by at least three internationally renowned referees. Papers were ri- rously examined and selected based on their originality, signi?cance, correctness, relevance, and clarity of presentation. Among the high-quality submissions, 50 papers were accepted and included in the proceedings. Later, the proceedings editors will recommend that some high-quality papers from the conference be published in a special issue of an international journal.

Conversion of Military R&D

The book describes the scale, benefits and costs of military research and development. It discusses the process of converting military R&D to civilian applications, and examines specific opportunities for, and obstacles to, conversion in the USA, Russia, France, Germany, and the UK. Among a number of case studies, senior scientists from US and Russian nuclear weapons laboratories debate the futures for these massive complexes. Looking to the future, the dual military/civilian nature of technology is discussed.

The book describes the scale, benefits and costs of military research and development.

Studies in the Theory of Interest

If X is in this position, then the M line simply runs through o, and "rotates" about
that fulcrum as the interest rate changes. Equilibrium for X in this event might be
illustrated in figure 1 by a movement up Mil to Q". In this event the market would
not be in equilibrium, and the interest rate would have to drop below the level
indicated by M. 5. An Objective or a Subjective Theory of Interest? As indicated
above, Fisher's theory determines the equilibrium rate of interest by finding that
rate which ...

The Theory of Economic Development

An Inquiry into Profits, Capital, Credit, Interest, and the Business Cycle

Schumpeter proclaims in this classical analysis of capitalist society first published in 1911 that economics is a natural self-regulating mechanism when undisturbed by "social and other meddlers." In his preface he argues that despite weaknesses, theories are based on logic and provide structure for understanding fact. Of those who argue against him, Schumpeter asks a fundamental question: "Is it really artificial to keep separate the phenomena incidental to running a firm and the phenomena incidental to creating a new one?" In his answers, Schumpeter offers guidance to Third World politicians no less than First World businesspeople. In his substantial new introduction, John E. Elliott discusses the salient ideas of The Theory of Economic Development against the historical background of three great periods of economic thought in the last two decades.

Schumpeter. CHAPTER V INTEREST ON CAPITAL PRELIMINARY REMARKS
AFTER mature consideration I submit for the second time the theory of interest
which I originally published in the first edition of this book, unaltered apart from
quite unimportant verbal changes. To all objections which have come to my
attention my only answer is to refer to the original text. They have merely induced
me not to ...
