Asynchronous or store and forward consultation involves the exchange of clinical information and static images collected and stored in the telecommunication equipment. The dental practitioner collects all the required clinical information and digital intraoral and extraoral images and radiographs (or scanned, originally nondigital images) and forwards them for consultation and treatment planning via established networks and/or the Internet. E-mail is an example of asynchronous communication.

Synchronous communication refers to interaction happening in real-time – a meeting or phone conference, for example.  Asynchronous communication happens anytime and doesn’t rely on being together at the same time – in person or electronically.  E-mail is a good example of asynchronous communication.  Unlike e-mail, asynchronous message boards allow an online discussion to be well-organized into threads.  It is a common technique used in online learning.

Synchronous learning is when all the participants are interacting at the same time (in Virtual Classrooms or chatting sessions for instance). Asynchronous learning is when the student accesses the material on his/her own, at any time (online learning materials) or communicates with peers or tutors who are not available online at the same (emails, discussion forums).

For asynchronous device, each data byte is framed by housekeeping bits. These bits provide the synchronization to the receiving facility each time when it receives data byte. Two wires ("signal" and "ground") are enough to transmit the data. A part of data can come anytime. Asynchronous mode appeared together with the telegraphy and is successfully used up to nowadays.

This is something that you can negotiate with your trading partner, but it is generally left up to the sender to specify (A receiver that implements the AS2 protocol must be prepared to do whatever the sender indicates here). The difference between the two is notable: A synchronous transaction is one in which the receipt that confirms the arrival of a document is sent over the same connection that was established to send the document.

Synchronous memory is tied to the speed of the front side bus while asynchronous memory is not. DDR and SDRAM are example of synchronous memory, and EDO and FPM are examples of asynchronous memory. See similar questions...

Synchronous communication is a form of communication whereby people (students and instructors in this case) interact with each other at the same time (sometimes called real time). This can be done via various methods of communication such as chatrooms, video conferencing and audio conferencing. Asynchronous communication is a form of communication that does not happen in real time. See similar questions...

Our program uses both synchronous and asynchronous communication methods in order to best interact with our students. Synchronous communication is not mandatory, but is recommended. See similar questions...

Asynchronous refers to fulfilling course objectives through activities that do not need to take place at the same time for all students. An example of an asynchronous activity is the discussion board or threaded discussion, where students post to the board when it is convenient to them as long as the activity is completed by a pre-determined date. This contrasts to synchronous, which means that the activity takes place at the same time for all students. See similar questions...

To convert from asynchronous to synchronous data the control information must removed. To convert the other way, control information must be added. The redundant control information is the start and any stop bits. Stop bits can often be ignored because they are at the same level as an idle line. Other information, such as parity bits, are error detection information and may be ignored but this is system dependent. See similar questions...

While asynchronous training (the most common form of e-learning) caters to just-in-time needs, synchronous training provides the training needed where the participant needs it. Characteristics of synchronous mirror many of the traditional classroom training experiences, such as: In addition, one of the greatest benefits of synchronous training is that people in different geographical locations and personal situations can be involved at the same time – from whatever location they choose.

Asynchronous communication is at the core of Helix Client/Server interaction. Although you may typically think of Helix Client/Server as being driven by the Client, there are a great many things that are initiated by the Server as well. Remember that the Helix Client/Server architecture features live updating of information on the Client's screen. To do this, the Server must be able to initiate contact with a Client when the data they have accessed is changed. See similar questions...

Good question. They don't call it AJAX for nothing! A synchronous request would block in page event processing and I don't see many use cases where a synchronous request is preferable. See similar questions...

Real-time activities are "live" and immediate. In the context of an online course, a real-time session is one in which all participants are logged on at the same time and interacting at more or less the same pace as one would in a face-to-face setting. A familiar example of real-time communication on the Internet is live chat. Asynchronous activities, on the other hand, are those in which participation is not concurrent or live. See similar questions...

Asynchronous in the online course means "different times, different places." Entering your course Web site at your convenience and from your location, you access course content and participate in discussions that reinforce your mastery of course concepts. See similar questions...

Well apparently it has to do with something called gene expression, which refers to the pattern in which genes are switched on and off. And gene expression has a major effect on your body's biological processes. Each cell in your body contains a 'power-factory' that produces energy, called the mitochondria. See similar questions...
