The fact that every individual have their personality is a truism. It means that every one of us has an own manner of being and of manifesting in the relationships with others, by reference to ourselves, by reference to society. We use to say that each person has their style. In daily language, the personal style problem is too much associated only to the clothing style. In education, the personal...
Recently, the interactive learning environment has received more and more attention. In this paper, we introduce a cloud-terminal integration learning platform, which is developed by our group, and design a blended learning mode, which enables the platform to be used by the blended learning. Finally, we verify the effect of the platform using the course "Digital teaching system development".
This study was based on the validated Users' Information Security Awareness Questionnaire (UISAQ). Authors gathered information on risky behavior and security awareness among 355 pupils from three secondary schools: General program secondary school (Gymnasium), Business and administrative high school and Trade school. Aim of the study was to test adapted version of UISAQ questionnaire on secondary...
Multi-label classification refers to the learning problem that a single training sample possibly has multiple labels at the same time. Many real world applications consist of high-dimensional feature vectors, which generally involve some irrelevant and redundant features. This possibly reduces classification performance and increases computational costs. Therefore, feature selection becomes an indispensable...
This paper aims to propose and discuss concepts of how users can recognise information seeking behaviour automatically and what implications such an automatic recognition can have. The authors develop the discussion around variables proposed in Wilson's second model of information behaviour and state how they can collect data necessary to recognise information behaviour automatically. The authors...
We consider load balancing in a network of caching servers delivering contents to end users. Randomized load balancing via the so-called power of two choices is a well-known approach in parallel and distributed systems that reduces network imbalance. In this paper, we propose a randomized load balancing scheme which simultaneously considers cache size limitation and proximity in the server redirection...
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and its complications, including intracranial hypertension, are one of the leading causes of mortality. Many proposed algorithms have attempted to overcome the invasiveness of intracranial pressure monitoring with limited clinical applications. In medical practices, changes of intracranial hypertension are perceived manually, by clinical experts, via surgical placement...
In this paper, a novel algorithm is developed for the design of minimum-phase FIR filters with sparse impulse responses. Traditional minimum-phase FIR filter design approaches are based on autocorrelation sequences of impulse responses and design problems are formulated as a semidefinite program. To achieve sparse designs, l1 norm of filter coefficients is incorporated in the objective function as...
Nowadays recommender systems are developed to provide information for users to choose the best things that they want. Recently different collaborative filtering techniques have been successfully employed to provide precise recommendations. However, sparsity problem is still considered as an important remained challenges. Existing CF based recommendation methods generally focus on positive similarities...
The paper evaluates acceptance and usage of an approved Learning Management System (LMS) amongst academics at a leading University of Technology. A total of 111 academics with teaching responsibility participated in the research through an electronic survey (e-survey) followed by semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal a gap between high acceptance and low actual usage, which appears to contradict...
In this paper, the effect of amplitude and phase errors as well as amplifiers and phase shifters failures on a phased array performance is investigated. It is found that random phase errors and phase shifters failures are dominant factors, they influence the peak sidelobe level, pointing angle accuracy, directive power and the half power beamwidth.
The literature review shows a trend to arbitrary number of multi-field packet classification is evolved from standard 5-tuple matching to support new applications like OpenFlow switch which processes upto 15 fields [1]. However, arbitrary number of multi-field packet classification becomes a great challenge regarding to performance, memory requirement, and update cost. In this paper, a high performance...
High-speed wireless services have achieved remarkable rates of growth in recent years. In order to survive in this competitive market, high levels of service performance are an effective way to improve customer satisfaction and loyalty. This paper aims to identify the best service provider in a heterogeneous wireless network so that we differentiate the quality of service (QoS) and provide a framework...
Fault identification and fault isolation, are the significant aspects in fault management in the network. It is method of identifying the faults in the given network and determining where exactly has the fault occurred. Over the years, the techniques of identifying and isolating faults in computer networks have evolved and grown better. This paper explains few of the fault identification and fault...
This paper proposes an approach of recommending micro-learning path based on improved ant colony optimization algorithm. Micro-learning is a new learning style, which can be used to support learning in short time because of its micro-learning units. Each micro-learning unit consists of a small knowledge unit that can be learned at fragmented time. Meanwhile, micro-learning is more flexible than other...
This paper presents a classroom research study that studied the effect of giving the students of a Digital Logic course the chance to retake all exams except the final. Each exam is designed to match a single learning outcome of the course. The theoretical background that the study is based upon is the Metacognitive Awareness Framework. We are reporting that the effort that the Faculty and teaching...
High resolution imaging and its processing is one of the most researched areas now-a-days. Recognition of moving object in a remote scene is a challenging task because of presence of multiple objects present there. Similarly, to track an object after the recognition part is also difficult task because of constant change in not only the coordinates of the target object but also the objects that are...
In our previous work, well balanced pseudo random signed binary sequence generated by using trace function and Legendre symbol has been researched. Our previous sequence generated by applying primitive polynomial over odd characteristic field Fp, trace function and Legendre symbol. The important features such as period, periodic autocorrelation, and cross-correlation have already been well discussed...
With the development of the technology, life is filled with increasing information equipment. When they work, a great deal of information will be radiated. For the leaked information, an interception system is built with USRP (Universal Software Radio Peripheral), and the line synchronization signal was extracted with a method called cepstrum. Compared with the method of autocorrelation, the new method...
Main objective of this work is designing and implementation of low cost electromyography (EMG) signal acquisition system which provides multichannel facilities. The major challenges of this work are to meet the quality as well as the cost at the same time. Our designed acquisition system comes with some attractive features like real time data display, offline data store, and simultaneous use of three...
