Impairment of executive and memory functions was repeatedly observed in various neuropsychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia. As the pharmacological treatment does not influence the deficit sufficiently, the significance of cognitive remediation increases in importance. The presented study introduces the virtual Supermarket Shopping Task (vSST), a novel method aimed at memory and executive functions,...
One of the key problems in automated individual tree crown delineation, whether from multispectral or lidar data, is the grouping of several trees into a single tree crown outline (isol). Using airborne multispectral imagery, we explored four approaches to breaking such isols into multiple crowns: “core,” “tree top,” “template matching,” and “basin” breaks. Core breaks are made using only isol shape...
The Baltic Sea has recently turned into a dumping site for all sorts of industrial, military and household waste from the surrounding countries. Overfishing, hazardous substances and Irresponsible Marine Activities brought vast damage to the sea. Seven of the ten biggest ‘Dead Zones’ in the world are in the Baltic Sea, right in Europe's backyard. The Baltic Sea is naturally prone to developing ‘dead...
This paper describes “learn-to-read” application for assisting therapist/teacher in conducting remediation programme of dyslexic children. The application is developed in Indonesian language for 5–7 years old dyslexic. Based on multisensory approach, the application is designed to utilize all of sensory receptors of dyslexic hence incorporating visual-audio feedback and supporting tactile-kinesthetic...
Many domestic and international students arrive at college lacking the skills needed for academic careers in engineering or engineering technology. To support academic progress and develop essential skills, TECH 101, Engineering Technology Fundamentals, was proposed, approved, and funded by the School of Engineering and Technology at a large urban public university. The course offered students the...
IT departments are overwhelmed by an ever-increasing flood of Indicators of Compromise (IOC) detailing illicit activity that may occur on their networks and systems. The characterization of the threats involved varies with the source of the information and each notice requires human operators to sift through data as displayed on a web page or in a PDF, update monitoring appliances and if detected,...
Up-to-date studies and surveys regarding IT security show, that companies of every size and branch nowadays are faced with the growing risk of cyber crime. Many tools, standards and best practices are in place to support enterprise IT security experts in dealing with the upcoming risks, whereas meanwhile especially small and medium sized enterprises(SMEs) feel helpless struggling with the growing...
Chargeback is a notion that had been broadly employed in the past. It was widespread in mainframe computing where a mainframe would be bought centrally by the I.T. department for use by all the other agencies, and the cost would be retrieved on interior cross-charge of the assets being utilized. The emergence of virtualization and cloud computing has produced an improved aim on chargeback. Chargeback...
Effective management of assets is an imperative for any business seeking to optimise shareholder value across the asset's lifecycle. However, failure to adequately maintain assets and failure to optimise the benefits accruing from good asset management leads to assets entering a distressed and potentially unsafe state. With assets nearing the end of their operating life, reduced investment in operating...
The present legislation has established a legal frame to protect the soil from potentially contaminant activities. However, the current situation of soil is bad due to the past bad practices which had placed the soil in utmost critical condition. This project aims to assess the effect of soil moisture content on electrokinetic remediation of contaminated soil. The potential contaminated soil was obtained...
Mind spark is a math Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS), which provides personalized learning content, to students of grade 3 to 8, based on their response and performance in the topic. Mind spark is used in more than 100 schools in India as part of the school curriculum. In this paper, we study the impact of the adaptive logic of Mind spark on students' learning. We focus our research on the remedial...
The urban body is never at rest, the changing needs and desires of inhabitants in the present — with an eye to possible futures — continually shaping, and being shaped by, the urban fabric of the past. No single narrative can capture this ongoing negotiation between place and people; it must be understood as a plurality of narratives bound into the urban body. In this paper we will we present ‘Digital...
This paper elaborates on and advances a proposition for framing collaborative music making as an assemblage of remediated practices. To this effect, we draw upon theories of agency and artifacts to anchor the concept of remediated practices. Then, by blending concepts from the Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and Management Science scholarships, we establish...
Teachers want to remedy the problem of heterogeneous levels of students before teaching a new concept. To deeply check a competency, we propose a system generating error driven adaptive training sequences. A test is created thanks to a bank of exercises. At each failure, the error detection mechanism is called and each detected misconception is taken into account using corrective exercises associated...
Network management represents one of the most challenging activities in tactical mobile ad hoc networks due to the need for rapid planning and configuration to support a given mission, in the face of large variability in wireless network performance and unpredictable conditions. Traditionally, independent tools, such as network planning and configuration, fault and performance management, and middleware...
Remediation for failure mold can have it to turn waste into treasure. Studied and described the mold remediation technologies including mold welding remediation technology, micro-pulse welding remediation technology, thermal spray technology, mold laser cladding remediation technology and electro brush plating technology, and prospected mold remediation remanufacturing trends. Mold remediation remanufacturing...
EDTA, Dodecylbenzene sulfonate, HCl, Tartaric acid and CaCl2 were used as extractants to remove Cr and Pb from Pb, Cr-contaminated soils. Batch equilibrium experiments were performed under variation of solid:liquid ratio and washing time. The results indicated that Citric acid, EDTA and Tartaric acid were effective for extracting Cr from the soils and EDTA, HCl and Tartaric acid were effective for...
Leaking from underground storage and surface spills of hydrocarbon sources can cause serious nonaqueous phase liquid (NAPL) contamination in subsurface environments. The toxic compounds of chemicals have made field study impracticable and it has been replaced by laboratory and numerical simulations. This paper introduces the methodology for two-dimensional light nonaqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) flow...
Red mud can use as remediation material to remediation for metal contaminated soil. On the basis, the particles were made and added in the soil from lead-zinc district. Through the five-step sequential extracting, different phases of lead have been extracted and determined. Effectiveness of remediation was measured by residue phase lead increased and other phases decreased. Experimental results show...
The remediation of typical acidified soil collected from Longli ecological park in Guizhou province has been carried out. The research was studied by simulated acid rain leaching of soil columns equipment indoor. At the same time, we also configured simulated acid rain solution whose pH value was 3.50. The remediation effects of five kinds of remediation agents which were limestone, magnesite, dolomite,...
