A set of methods for estimating the parameters of the production process is proposed. This set includes expert assessments, Pareto analysis and elements of neural networks based artificial intelligence. The set forms up the methodology for assessing the state of the production process and forecasting its implementation. The sequence of application of individual methods is substantiated. Algorithms...
Clinical research registries need to be driven by data quality to improve the outcome of clinical trials and to provide the possibility to facilitate new research initiatives. The International Niemann-Pick Disease Registry (INPDR) is one such example of a clinical research registry. Unlike other registries where data quality is largely based around best effort manual data entry, the INPDR registry...
Industrial Control System (ICS) is used to monitor and control critical infrastructures. Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are major components of ICS, which are used to form automation system. It is important to protect PLCs from any attacks and undesired incidents. However, it is not easy to apply traditional tools and techniques to PLCs for security protection and forensics because of its unique...
Risk recognition training is an important training in construction companies to avoid work-related accidents. The existing risk recognition training is usually conducted on an illustration including explicit risks. However, it is difficult to express dynamic scenarios and surroundings of the scene due to the still illustration. In this study, a video based risk recognition training tool with an eye...
Our research is initially motivated by a conversation we had with a group of cyber security analysts that are responsible for monitoring enterprise security at a large corporation who were experiencing day-to-day operational burdens. As a result, this paper focuses on the design and implementation of an Intelligent Cyber Security Assistant (ICSA) architecture that would provide intelligent assistance...
Autonomous Systems are systems situated in some environment and are able of taking decision autonomously. The environment is not precisely known at design-time and it might be full of unforeseeable events that the autonomous system has to deal with at run-time. This brings two main problems to be addressed. One is that the uncertainty of the environment makes it difficult to model all the behaviours...
To facilitate self-monitoring interventions developed by the Faculty of Computer Science, Universitas Indonesia, a web-based self-monitoring tool was created. This study aims to evaluate the tool's usability and the user experience prior to its wide adoption. The User Experience Questionnaire and the System Usability Scale were used to evaluate the self-monitoring tool. The tool was used in a Human-Computer...
ESA's Scientific Exploitation of Operational Missions (SEOM) programme represents a pathfinder for science and innovation addressing the needs and requirements of the Earth system science community in terms of providing novel observations, new algorithms and products that will be a driver for new and innovative scientific discoveries. The current paper aims to provide a brief overview of the various...
We propose a novel e-rehabilitation system based on a commercial RGB-D device. Differently from exergaming approaches, clinical objectives scores of each specific body part involved in the exercise are computed. Subjects performances are sent to the physiotherapists in order to support and improve decisions and therapies.
This study aims to create a vision system for vehicles that would prevent frontal collisions. The system is more of an aid to the driver, giving notifications whenever there is a possibility of collision. With the use of a camera, this system is able to get series of images that would undergo processes of detection and distance calculations. And by utilizing OpenCV, detection of vehicles through Haar...
We present ReHoblet; a physical rehabilitation game on tablets, designed to be used in a residential setting. ReHoblet trains two gross motor movements of the upper limbs by lifting (up-down) and transporting (left-right) the tablet to control a simple platform game. By using its accelerometers and gyroscope, the tablet is capable of detecting movements made by the user and steer the interaction based...
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,...
This paper explains the implementation of a low cost, non-intrusive home energy monitoring system. The design implementation of the proof of concept employs open-source hardware architecture using Arduino and off-the-shelf sensors which lends itself to mass production, low cost and easy maintenance. This system is intended to service rural and low income urban consumers who will not be able to afford...
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 describes the appliances to monitor the training process of athlete's medium and long distances, indicating that they belong in the sport, which will improve the results of our Russian team in athletics at the global level.
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...
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...
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...
With the ongoing internationalisation of the engineering profession there is an ever increasing need for universities to provide robust evaluation of the quality of their undergraduate degree programs and to benchmark that quality internationally. It is important that the claims made of course evaluation and renewal, during the evaluation-accreditation process, can be substantiated and the tenuous...
The global objective of the paper is to introduce a new Statistical Process Control (SPC) education technology using an interactive control chart simulator. The basis is the contemporary experience in teaching at universities and in training for the practice and from there resulting observation, that especially the regular students often lack practical knowledge about the production process while...
