With the expanding load on healthcare and consequent strain on budget, the demand for tools to increase efficiency in treatments is rising. The use of prediction models throughout the treatment to identify risk factors might be a solution. In this paper we present a novel implementation of a prediction tool and the first use of a dynamic predictor in vocational rehabilitation practice. The tool is...
Over the last years, due to the emergency of new challenges in the area of the health care domain, particular emphasis was dedicated to the application of ICT in this sector. This, in turn, stimulated the analysis over the software requirements engineering techniques and their applicability in this context. The efficient application of the use-case based technique, within the PATHway project user...
Multipartite table methods offer a high speed, low area implementation of commonly used functions for up to 24 bits of accuracy. Currently the parameters which dictate the configuration of these tables are chosen using a worst-case rounding approximation scheme which often generates sub-optimal results. This paper will show that it is possible to perform a full exhaustive search to find the minimum...
Although static analysis tools detect potential code defects early in the development process, they do not fully support developers in resolving those defects. To accurately and efficiently resolve defects, developers must orchestrate several complex tasks, such as determining whether the defect is a false positive and updating the source code without introducing new defects. Without good defect resolution...
Testing of product is perform to discover or detect the errors and defects in the developed system. But testing is usually time consuming especially when complex projects are canvass. Testing of a product lead off with generation of test cases. The Test case generation are based on three parts coding, design and specification. The Specification based testing deals with generation of test cases from...
In this paper, experimental results with software defined radios (SDRs) for capturing and localizing WiFi and GSM users are developed. First, a detailed overview on various SDR equipment and software, such as embedded and networked USRPs, WiFi Pineapple, GNU Radio, OpenBTS, and Wireshark is presented. Sufficient details are provided on how to configure and operate the SDR equipment and the associated...
The continuous dependency on technology has encouraged the integration of BeagleBone Black and C programming language in Universiti Tenaga Nasional in order to produce graduates that are active in the digital shift. The integration is introduced in the "Programming for Engineers" subject for first semester undergraduate students. However, the suitability of the syllabus as well as the integration...
Smart boards enable students to learn and explore new concepts using technology to create a more dynamic learning experience. Students become more excited about learning when the smart boards are incorporated into the lesson. Many educators encourage the use of smart boards in teaching and learning. This paper presents a conceptual framework for the use of smart boards among students and teachers...
The lack of strong reading comprehension skills affects a student's success in school. This paper aims to examine how fluent and non-fluent readers process text and images by utilizing eye movement methodology. Three types of diagnostic instruments were used to collect data (text-only, text and image and image-only). The experiments also involved personal observation, interviews and Q&A sessions...
Low-power embedded platforms are widely used in various data collection scenarios to capture physical world phenomena in micro-scale. Given that many applications require long operation times, it is important for nodes to employ various schemes to maximize their lifetime. Within the sensor network research community, schemes such as low-power listening (LPL) and low-power probing (LPP) have been actively...
English, though not being the native language, is the language of instruction across the schooling years in Mauritius. Indeed, English literacy is introduced to young students at the pre-primary level as it is a pre-requisite for all other subjects, except French language in Standard One of primary level. In consequence, it is imperative that students acquire English literacy skills at pre-primary...
Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have played a major role in shaping our society, affecting nearly all aspects of our daily lives. In educational contexts, the ongoing technological revolution we are experiencing naturally calls for a transformation of traditional teaching and learning processes. The integration and efficient use of emergent technologies have become fundamental challenges...
Since 1990's Combinatorial explosion is a crucial topic in software testing domain. In this domain the exhaustive input interaction test is not practical solution to test all software configurations for generating test cases. T-way test strategy provides a solution to overcome the problem. To date, most of the research on designing methods focus on combinations of input parameter values, where the...
In a class focused on practical programming, it is not uncommon to find a large difference in student ability levels. When such a gap in proficiency exists, students with a high level of understanding tend to find the class too simple and as a result their motivation decreases. Up until this point, we have been responding to students who have a lower level of understanding by providing them with supplementary...
Agile methods are the fastest rising software lifecycle process methods in software engineering. Educators are converting traditional and project-base courses to agile in response, but this is a daunting task with few structured teaching resources methods available to reduce the burden on the educator. In professional practice, agile methods have been particularly effective in empowering experienced...
We have investigated whether Agile practices can be applied as a pedagogical approach to derive benefit in the areas of encouraging students to take responsibility for their learning (self managed learning), continuous improvement through reflection, alternative approaches for grading, increased engagement by learners, and more effective data collection and assessment of outcomes. Agile is an umbrella...
Prepaid Energy Meter has been implemented in several countries. In fact, the disadvantage of the system is the behavior control of the users. Recharging should be carried out on the meter. The problem arises when the consumers leave and the electric pulses discharged. Therefore, a system is needed to control the electrical pulse wherever they are. Prepaid energy meter is proposed and simulated by...
