Information : currency of life?
(2009)In biology, the exception is mostly the rule, and the rule is mostly the exception. However, recent results indicate that known universal concepts in biology such as the genetic code or the utilization of ATP as a source ... -
Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) Policy for Change and the Mask for Development : A Critical Analysis of Zimbabwe's E-Readiness Survey Report
(2006)The Government of Zimbabwe in conjunction with the National Economic Consultative Forum (NECF) commissioned an e-readiness survey in 2005, in a bid to assess the country’s readiness to embrace Information and Communication ... -
