Being paid great attention to its operating performance, patent is the key element for a country or area to gain long-term advantage in various competitions. This paper, based on Chinese patent data, proposes a two-stage model with factor analysis and clustering analysis. It also proposes a patent innovation performance evaluation system in view of the input-output index of twenty patents, giving...
RFID collision is a main challenge imposed by radio wave links shared among a reader and many tags in interrogation zone. Collision is a power-consuming event that reduces the performance of RFID systems. Low power consumption strategy would ensure longer operational life of tags and reader by battery-powered supply. Application of several anti-collision algorithms makes it possible for reader to...
By introducing various modes of learning, technology, and specifically educational technology, has drastically changed the knowledge acquisition process. One promising mode is game-based learning (GBL). GBL provides rich and meaningful contexts that effectively supports different forms of learning, which require novel software models. Yet, despite the extensive research on GBL development, proposed...
Self-directed learning is a potential methodology recommended in medical education to promote life-long learning. To promote self-directed learning skills and to make students life-long learners, self-directed learning sessions were conducted at Melaka Manipal Medical College (Manipal Campus), Manipal University, India. Students' knowledge in the topics was assessed in three formative assessments...
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are widely used in technical educational institutions (TEIs) since last two decades. Though many benefits are expected from success of ERP implementation but overall success depends on various cost factors involved. The objective of this paper is to identify various benefits and costs associated with enterprise resource planning implementations in various...
Pitch is an important parameter of speech. A good estimation of pitch period is crucial to the performance of speech analysis and synthesis system. This paper describes autocorrelation and AMDF method for pitch detection in time domain. FFT, spectral autocorrelation method in frequency domain and cepstral domain algorithm for pitch detection. Voiced and unvoiced part of the speech is separated for...
Teachers are an essential pillar of any educational institute. The selection of eminence teacher is a very important process to sustain the quality education. Selection of teachers depends on performance for selection criteria to generate a final ranking. The performance criteria of teacher's are evaluated by experts and it is always ambiguous. This ambiguity of human decision-making can be deal with...
In Handwriting Verifier Timing constraint is very crucial part which have used in the SVM Classifier, these have using the more time for the large number of sample and get the less accuracy. When there is used the Combined SVM-HMM so that has taken less time for the analysis the large sample and give better accuracy than SVM. That all time has evaluated with the curvelet transform and make a digital...
The paper present facts on quality and assessment of Polytechnic education system in India. Seamless integration of the Diploma and Degree in Engineering is the need of the hour. Various parameters, data and facts based on socio-economic constraints in the Indian perspective are covered in this paper. An improvised model of Technical Education has been presented through this paper. Such a model, if...
Faculty members are the key human resource for an engineering institution. The quality of the faculty members decides the success of engineering education to a large extent and hence their development is very vital for the sustained growth of an institution. An all-round or holistic development of faculty members to cater to the needs of future is imperative as the challenges faced and responsibilities...
MOOC, the massive open online courses is rejuvenating the quest to learn for many deserving learners by breaking the traditional barriers like financial, cultural, and national boundaries. In this paper the various bits and pieces that form the diverse components of MOOC is discussed.
HeartCycle, running since March 2008, is an European Integrated Project aiming to provide innovations for the next generation of disease management solutions dedicated for cardiovascular disease patients. The appropriate remote management of such patients at home is seen as a promising solution to both, the delivery of innovative healthcare and the containment of future healthcare cost.
