Let's Get Ready, 100 are Coming!

by Mahdi Abdullah Murad Student Eye

Last week, Timothy Doyle told us that AUI-S will be accepting another 100 students for the spring semester.

Indeed AUI-S should be the home for the brilliant students of this country, but can THIS AUI-S accept another 100?



We can figure out the answer by examining the capacity dormitories, classes, cafeteria, computer labs, and toilets.

Bear with me for a while!

According to Metcalfe’s law, the growth in number of the internet and computer users is affecting the value of communication network. The law demonstrates a clear ideological framework to think about social networks. Moreover, understanding the value of the social networking is another side of the law that Metcalfe identified and considered as an important thoughtful to the communication among the users. He illustrates that both number of users and their similarities among them of the network should be considered. Furthermore, the recent visibility of the competition among the companies is another side of the Metcalfe’s law.

Telemedicine—The present of Iraq

by Mahdi Abdullah Murad

When I was level 4, my writing instructor brought us an article that talked about telemedicine. I couldn’t quite understand what did telemedicine mean, so I directly went to www.dictionary.Com and found this definition, “the diagnosis and treatment of patients in remote areas using Medical information, as x-rays or television pictures, transmitted over long distances, esp. by satellite.” I was shocked and was really excited about the program. Therefore, I googled the word, “telemedicine” and read many articles about it.
