We describe the design, development and usage of a mobile hybrid application (UROMobile), with a high usability factor, in an interactive medical school with more than 120 attendees. UROMobile application offers support for several learning activities, as well as program information, general evaluation forms, profile information and many more. The evaluation results shows that there is a successful...
This paper reports on a small scale study, involving Greek teachers. It investigates their about exploiting Mobile Learning in class. The contribution of this study for the academic community is that it describes an effort and a methodology to record the target group's misconceptions and misunderstandings, regarding the mobile learning field, thus highlighting their need for training in order to incorporate...
Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) is a very powerful, signal dependent algorithm which decomposes signals as a set of Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs). The focus of this paper is on improving Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) of noise contaminated Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal by applying a modified version of the Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) method. This method is utilized on synchronized...
Epilepsy is a brain disorder that 1% of people population are suffering from. One of the proper non-invasive equipment for diagnosis and analysis of this disease is electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings. However, EEG signals are often contaminated with noises and artifacts that hide epileptic signals of interest. Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is a common Blind Source Separation (BSS) method...
Knowledge Management System (KMS) aims to improve the quality of human resources within an organization by improving communication between all parts of the organization and enhance the acquisition of knowledge with knowledge transfer. The application of KMS with a web-based system is expected to be the solution of knowledge transfer requirements that are not hindered by the limitations of time and...
In this paper, a novel tool is suggested which allows to simultaneously record arm joint angles and the applied forces of patients with writer's cramp during the performance of multiple writing and drawing tasks. The presented tool identifies the role of the upper limb joints and exerted forces once a cramping event happens. Over the past decade different kinematic analyses have been introduced in...
Porous nanocomposite scaffolds were fabricated by freeze casting method with composition of constant chitosan concentration (3 wt.%) blended with different percentages of (10, 20 and 50 wt.%) bioactive glass nanoparticles (BGNPs) which were synthesized by sol-gel method. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) images proved that the size of synthesized BGNPs with formula of 64Si02.28Ca0.8P205 was lower...
A mathematical model of Parkinsonian tremor is presented in this research. This model contains structures involved in tremor genesis from brain to muscle. The result of this study is compared with physiological parkinsonian tremor by using the correlation dimension, the largest Lyapunov exponent and the Kolmogorov entropy. The correlation dimension represents the complexity and the largest Lyapunov...
There is a growing trend in the application of graph analysis to resting-state fMRI data. In such studies, vertices of the graph represent brain regions, and graph edges represent the connectivity between them. Regions are usually defined using anatomical atlases. In this paper we show that using functional parcellation which is considered to be better than anatomical segmentation causes differences...
Inferior temporal (IT) cortex is the most important part of the brain and plays an important role in response to visual stimuli. In this study, object decoding has been performed using neuron spikes in IT cortex region. Single Unit Activity (SUA) was recorded from 123 neurons in IT cortex. Pseudo-population firing rate vectors were created, then dimension reduction was done and an Artificial Neural...
In recent years, the number of Internet users amazingly has grown. As a result, number of Internet-related problems like Internet addiction has increased too. Many studies have been done in the past ten years and this issue has attracted attention of many researchers. It has reported some psychiatric disorders are associated with Internet addiction but mechanism of this relation has been not discovered...
Presently, traffic is a serious problem in Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue (EDSA) cause by increasing work force and increasing number of vehicles [1]. Manual scheduling of buses became inefficient and this was proven by the unbalance number of bus and overcrowded passengers in different points of service, it also affect the bus carrier's profit. This research aims to model a new way of schedule pattern...
Mastery of aerospace technology becomes very important for Indonesia. Due to the given the vast areas of Indonesia mostly in the form of marine waters.This condition has made a guarding and monitoring becomes easy. Therefore needed satellite technology that can be utilized to guard the interests of the territory of Indonesia. The success of developing IiNUSAT-1 on the one hand proves that the universities...
This research paper discusses the design, development and testing of an integrated splitting and planing machine for pre-cut bamboo culms. The design of the bamboo splitting section was based on existing design of commercially available bamboo splitting machine while the planing section utilized 2 sets of motor powered portable wood planers integrated into the design which simultaneously planes the...
This paper discusses the development of a public transit scheduling tool that can be run on a spreadsheet software. The main objective of the paper is to bridge the existing gap between the theoretical knowledge of bus service scheduling and local transport service providers in order for the latter to improve their service. Users of the tool are allowed to input onboard passenger counts, to analyze...
Electrochemical-mechanical polishing (ECMP) integrates electrochemistry with chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) which is assisted by chemical reaction to remove surface material of wafer. The application of an additional electrical potential in ECMP intensifies chemical reaction to produce better material removal rate (MMR) and planarization of wafer compared with CMP. For copper wafer, the potentiodynamic...
QuizIt is a new prototype real-time response system for Android mobile devices that enhance active learning methods and assess students' understanding. This paper presents a) the main elements of the system and b) the results from a pilot study concerning students' opinions on using the system. QuizIt system consists of three parts: a lecturer mobile application, a student mobile application and a...
This paper presents a successful e-learning experience concerning a practical course in the field of control process. In fact, the student accomplishes the practical course via the web by making measurements, control and supervision in real time through a control bench unit which is installed within the eSience laboratory at the ENET'COM. Using this common hardware/software platform, iLabs can offer...
This paper is dedicated to the presentation of the Tempus project “rESeau maghrébIn de laboratoirEs à distance”, eSience, which aims to create an eLab for the realization of remote practical courses in Maghreb countries (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia). In this paper, we present a prototype for a remote laboratory for electronics implemented in the National Electronics and Telecommunications school of...
