In the past year, Cooperative Learning has become one of the most important teaching strategies. Helping learners group appropriately is now becoming more and more important. To solve the problem, a lot of methods have been proposed. In this paper, we employ a novel approach that considers the complementary degree of learner's learning state and social networks to enhance interaction and teamwork...
This study aims to explore how tablets can be integrated into the art appreciation course in the college to motivate learners. Two classes of students were involved in the experiment. One class was slides-based with the printed materials, and the other class was slides-based with multi-touch technology of tablets. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches were adopted in this study. The results...
Even though in the past significant research in digital game-based learning has been published, scholars all believed that digital game-based learning is better than traditional lecture instruction, producing better learning effects and higher learning motivation, previous studies have ignored the urban-rural differences in mathematics learning effects and influences of incorporating digital games...
A Hypermedia-based Learning Environment (HLE) has shown potential in helping students improve their learning performance in terms of complicated subjects and skills, however, most students find it difficult to learn well in this kind of Open-Ended Learning Environments (OELE) due to a lack of Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) abilities. Manually adaptive scaffolding is labor-intensive and time-consuming,...
This study intends to design a distance assessment system for preschool kids with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This system is an improvement of the past system that was used in previous research. For the demand of future research and the increasing size of the sample size, the technical challenges, occurred in the past system that associated with internet problems, have to be solved. The limitation...
A semi-blind time-domain equalization technique is proposed for general MIMO OFDM systems. We proposed new algorithm of received signal with pilot, that design need to our project, so we discuss to interference cancellation algorithm for 2x2 MIMO in LTE. For pilot based channel estimation of OFDM system, following two are required. Firstly, suitable pilot pattern needs to be considered. Secondly,...
Presents the introductory welcome message from the conference proceedings. May include the conference officers' congratulations to all involved with the conference event and publication of the proceedings record.
Nowadays consumers' affective responses have become more and more helpful for developing successful products. Kansei Engineering (KE) is a challenging customer-oriented technology for product development in the intelligent age. It should not only translate the humans' feeling into design specifications, but also share classified design knowledge and integrate design features to get a new design scheme...
Evolving the power grid towards the next generation is paving the way for the Smart Grid, characterized by bidirectional flows for energy and information. This paper provides a numerical analysis on the usage of two wireless access technologies (namely WiFi and LTE) to support metering and monitoring services for the Smart Home environment.
Three dimensional television (3DTV) has attracted more and more attention in the area of TV broadcasting. However, the applications are constrained due to the content shortage. It is an economical way by converting monoscopic 2D video to 3D (2D-3D) so as to reuse the existed huge amount of 2D videos materials by using Depth-Image-Based-Rendering (DIBR). In this paper, an efficient framework for extracting...
In this paper, we propose novel subscriber reconfigurable-time division multiplexed passive optical network (SR-TDM PON) architectures with wavelength dynamicity and protection features in order to provide more bandwidths to the subscribers. Moreover, we demonstrate the network design flexibility for various SR-TDM PON architectures in terms of wavelength dynamicity range.
This paper proposes an effective and robust hand tracking and fingertip detection method and applies it to a novel vision based human computer interaction system: Visual Keyboard System For Smart TV (VKS). The both hands tracking and fingertip recognition approach consists of three stages. First, based on the CAMSHIFT, Motion Template and Shape Template Matching, the both hands were tracked by Multi...
In this paper, we propose an emotion profile based music recommendation system. In the proposed algorithm, two emotion profiles are constructed using decision value in support vector machine (SVM), and based on short term and long term features respectively. The recognized emotion, emotion profile, and personal historical query results are fed into the recommendation module to generate the recommended...
The rise of traffic information requirements has led to improve Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) which is developed to collect real-time traffic information based on various techniques. Cellular Floating Vehicle Data (CFVD) which is one of these techniques analyzes the cellular network data to estimate real-time traffic information with the higher coverage and the lower cost. Therefore, this...
The chattering error of reed switch sensors for Automatic Meter Reading system of water flow meter was analyzed according to various types of external vibrations and shocks. The vibration level amplitude was measured with an accelerometer. To apply for water flow measurement devices, the reed switch sensors should keep high reliability. But the measured digital meter data is occurred difference or...
Nowadays, cases of piracies, copyrights, legal disputes and allegations are increasing as far as software is concerned. In such cases it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong between the two quarreling parties due to insufficient evidences. So, what can be done. Author identification plays a very important role in most of these cases, such as plagiarism detection, masquerade detection,...
In this paper, we propose a simple but highly efficient intra skip decision algorithm to reduce the computational complexity of H.264/AVC coding. It utilizes information such as the best mode and the rate value of the RD cost function, which are all pre-calculated. These values are calculated in the corresponding macro block (MB) of the previous frame and the neighbouring MBs of the current frame...
For better efficiency of parallel and distributed computing, Apache Hadoop distributes the imported data randomly on data nodes. This mechanism provides some advantages for general data analysis. With the same concept Apache Sqoop separates each table into four parts and randomly distributes them on data nodes. However, there is still a database performance concern with this data placement mechanism...
