Chinese monitorial System has played a certain positive role in the process of higher education increasingly popular. This paper made some investigation on its origin, its existence category, the role played in practical work. Combining with the teaching practice, the author analyzed the problem resulted from the management mode and discussed it in detail from the students' ideological work orientation,...
One of the aims of higher education is to help students to become autonomous learners. The paper discusses issues connected with teaching language learning strategies for students receiving advanced language training and their impact on learner autonomy. The results of teaching the course intended to provide this need are given.
This article is devoted to the problem of the interactive system between the higher educational organizations and the users of educational services. Historical reasons for graduate employment, the mechanism of the personnel training at the universities are described. Big attention is paid to the educational cluster that helps to increase the quality of education.
An intrusion detection system (IDS) monitors network traffic and monitors for suspicious activity and alerts the system or network administrator. It identifies unauthorized use, misuse, and abuse of computer systems by both system insiders and external penetrators. IDS's are based on the belief that an intruder's behavior will be noticeably different from that of a legitimate user. Many IDS has been...
This paper presents a method of modern deep machine learning and its application in dimension reduction and lossy compression. Deep belief networks (or DBN's), first proposed by Yoshua Bengio, are hierarchic, stochastic, neural networks with appropriate architecture and dedicated training algorithms. They are composed of layers, each one of which is a restricted Boltzmann machine (or RBM). There exists...
The construction industry is generally a high producer of waste. The implementation of waste minimization strategies on construction sites can potentially make a significant contribution to the sustainability of construction industry. However, there are several pitfalls to waste control on construction sites. This study was a preliminary effort to identify relative importance of factors influencing...
Learning metacognitive listening strategies and specializing in the implementation of such strategies enable not only a more efficient use of time but also easier and more sustained listening. This research examines first-year university students' awareness level of metacognitive listening comprehension strategies (MLCS) on learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL). We used Vandergrift et al.'s...
Amplitude-integrated electroencephalographic (aEEG), a method for continuous long-term monitoring of brain activities, is widely used for clinical needs in monitoring newborns. While the variation in aEEG signals from different individuals causes differences in the data distribution, the task to model and automatically classify aEEG signals across different individuals is challenging. In this paper,...
The use collaborative of pedagogies in undergraduate engineering courses are usually implemented by academics who place value on the student experience and their students achieving deep as opposed to surface learning. The professional development and understanding of appropriate theories needed to prepare materials and support student learning in these different teaching environments is often left...
Paper-based systems for monitoring maternal labor have been shown to reduce life-threatening complications in low-resource environments; however, significant barriers exist to the use of these tools in developing countries. This paper presents the PartoPen -- a digital pen system that enhances a common labor- monitoring form known as the partograph. The PartoPen system provides real-time data feedback...
Wireless Sensor Networks have a great role to play in Developing Countries. This paper reports on training work- shops jointly organized by the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics and the University of Cape Town in South Africa (March 2010), Kenya (June 2011) and Ghana (December 2011) on Wireless Sensor Networks. The trainings were 4 days long and targeted 20 participants, composed...
The LM-BP neural network prediction model for contact system electrical endurance of vacuum circuit-breakers is established, which based on the electrical endurance curve and the advanced breaking current weighted cumulative method (BCWC). The influencing factors that affect the prediction of VCBs electrical wear were researched. Then the LM-BP algorithm iterative process of contact electrical wear...
Current deadlock of education requires a new vision of the teaching resources and means. Increasingly important amount of material resources including software tools require integration into the training tools. These should reconsider the role of the teacher and ways of dealing with school purpose. This paper suggests a new training structure itself interdisciplinary with auto-adapting features for...
The integral action coefficient value K about the advanced breaking current weighted cumulative method (BCWC) used for the VCBs' contact system electrical endurance monitoring is studied. At first, the general selecting method of integral current coefficient K value is discussed, and the existent problem in the K value selecting, calculating process and potential improving room are analyzed. Considering...
In this paper, we propose a crowd density estimation algorithm based on multi-class Adaboost using spectral texture features. Conventional methods based on self-organizing maps have shown unsatisfactory performance in practical scenarios, and in particular, they have exhibited abrupt degradation in performance under special conditions of crowd densities. In order to address these problems, we have...
With the maturity of network technology, autonomous learning has become a heated issue. In this paper, an analysis of five elements that affect web-based autonomous learning is presented and an autonomous learning mode is put forward, in the hope of exploring a more effective way of improving learners' English learning autonomy.
Engineering colleges in India have been increasing tremendously in the last 10 years. However, most of these engineering colleges are inadequately equipped with suitable infrastructure and qualified faculty members leading to lack of quality in undergraduate education resulting in unemployable graduates. These graduates lack problem solving skills, soft skills, and are unable to map their academic...
Feedback is an important ingredient to enhance athletes' skill acquisition. Currently, feedback design in the motor skill domain via Computer-based Sport Training (CBST) can be categorized as: (1) feedback content, such as speed, accuracy, movement, time, and reaction time, (2) providing athletes with access to their feedback via an appropriate user interface, and (3) feedback modality, such as visual,...
This paper describes an on-line group work training environment which integrates a system implementing role-play training for project management education, the development of role-play scenarios, and the monitoring and analysis of the behavior track records of each learner while a role-play is in progress. The integrated environment can motivate a student to study project management and provide an...
The proliferation of information technology over the past couple of decades have significantly affected the way technology enhanced learning evolved. The learning, teaching and assessment student experience has evolved from rather static, content focused, textbook based practices to dynamic, highly interactive and agile approaches. The computer supported cooperative learning techniques and groupware...
