This study investigated four types of negative semantics (sadness, anger, disgust, fear) and their implications for product design. A total of 66 product images that had negative semantics were evaluated by 66 subjects. The results revealed that product designs containing negative meanings could spark curiosity and surprise. Disgust designs were discovered to have similar effects to fear designs,...
Previous studies which explored the effects of typographic variables on Chinese text reading on small devices fixed the viewing distance from eyes to the screens. Hence, their results might not be generalized to the typographic design of Chinese texts on small devices. Therefore, the article tried to investigate the effects of Traditional Chinese character size and font style on reading performance...
Learning difficulties among graduate students have always been greatest challenge. Learning analytics offers an evidence-based problem solving approach. In this context, eye-tracking is a profound technology that captures real-time eye gaze data of learners. This paper proposes a robust intelligent tutoring system based on the eye tracking data of learners. The system offers adaptive learning by providing...
Young teachers in colleges and universities usually play important role as main force of college teaching, as well as the mentor of young students. But not only that, they also act as the participants and transferees of social civilization. Under the new situation, the realization of the young-teacher-career-development system would become an important issue in the development of higher education...
After the development of about half a century, Taiwan's industrial design education has entered the international frontier now. This paper summarizes the characteristics of industrial design education in Taiwan universities from the aspects of education scale and department, discipline and professional construction, production and research cooperation, and so on and expects to gain experience and...
Successful brands often rely on successful products to achieve true brand value. Brand portfolio is an effective strategy to create dominant brand, and its methods are brand development, brand alliance and brand acquisition. Based on the analysis of correlation between the three methods and the development strategy of product, this paper focuses on the development strategy of product under the brand...
Fractal sets are the geometry of chaos. It is an important branch in modern mathematics, so they are often used in graphic design, pattern design, fashion design and textile industries. The purpose of this paper is to propose a methodology for the generation method of Julia sets to generate fractal patterns for the textile design of the fashion design. The visual aesthetic fractal patterns are generated...
Chinese character culture is the ancients will be the experience of life, into words, language, vocabulary and other forms and content, and derived from calligraphy, seal and other traditional artistic expression, with the creation of ingenuity; and for Nushu such as the disappearance of the national language there is a lack of convenient and effective design conversion model.
The purpose of the study was to investigate the interface design of a web-based formative assessment system. The present study was focused on question presentation and feedback design. A total of 28 college students participated in the study. Usability questionnaires were used to collect qualitative and qualitative data. The results are provided for online educators, learning management system developers,...
The whole face economical downfall throughout their lives, including Taiwan where consumers are struggling with the drastic skyrocketing price tags of products and their never-increase incomes. Nowadays, there are more and more brands in which have similar line, and thus relying on the quality itself doesn't seem ra-tional enough to stay on top of the business world. So it all depends on the consumers...
This paper proposes a polynomial fuzzy control design strategy for synchronizing multi-scroll Chen chaotic systems. At first, the master and slave multi-scroll Chen chaotic systems are transformed into the equivalent polynomial fuzzy models. Then a polynomial fuzzy control is designed to synchronize the master and slave polynomial fuzzy models. In the control design, the polynomial feedback gains...
This study aims to promote the assessment of, for, and as learning of Cantonese opera with the development of the Computerized Kinetic Chain Assessment and Learning System (CKCALS). The CKCALS captures and calibrates the coordinates and angles of the skeletal joints during learners' movements, compares them with the standard set by the experts, and provides instant feedback for learner's subsequent...
Traditional, the hardcopy of cadastral map is an important historical evidence for the land parcels information in the Land Office. However, the paper is not easy to save and the size of the scanner is not large enough for digital storage either. In this study, multi-view image processing technology is applied to create a true ortho-photo of cadastral map for solving the storage problem.
The polymer material PCL (polycaprolactone) has good biodegradability and good performance on drug coating. For the long-term delivery drugs, the biodegradable polymers reduced drug side effects and enhanced the drug efficacy. This study combined emulsification and ultrasonic nozzle to prepare biodegradable polymer microspheres. The ultrasonic emulsification compared to other general emulsification...
This paper focuses on university lecture timetabling at Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology (FCSIT), Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS). In this case study, course pre-registration is not a practice. Therefore, there is no precise estimation on course registration and causes faculty's experienced planner to arrange the timetable by curriculum-based. However, curriculum-based timetable...
The purpose of this study is to conduct a feasibility analysis and preliminary conceptual design of water boundaries based on the Blue Ocean Strategy applied in the planning stage. The researchers adopt the case studies in competition analysis, product strategy, development, and formulation, and other core concepts of flood control design to induce design principles for water boundaries that can effectively...
To meet the global tourism market trend and educational need, English for Tourism Purposes (ETP) courses have been rapidly developed in Taiwan's universities for recent years. Investigation and evaluation of national-wide ETP curriculum, give directions to the educators whose learners are second language speakers of English and aspire to work in the international tourism and hospitality industry have...
Through interpretations on the Shuo wugoucheng jing (Sutra Explaining Undefiled Praise) translated by Xuanzang, and the Weimojie suoshuo jing (Vimalakīrti Nirdeśa Sūtra) translated by Kumārajīva, along with references to relevant research by other scholars, this thesis aims to assess the observed differences in Xuanzang's and Kumārajīva's focus on the doctrines of Eight Consciousnesses or one mind...
This paper discusses an English evaluation and teaching system consisting of several parts. The first part is a database comprising numerous subdatabases, which store login data and various levels of test questions of different levels. The second part is an arithmetic processing unit with a login module that produces a login interface to receive users' accounts and passwords. The login module is electronically...
With the diverse development of mobile applications (apps), mobile devices can provide a wide range of services, this study was to construct and verify the convenience service for customers in chain hotels in terms of mobile commerce. We proposed five service dimensions by customers' perception, included usage convenience, post-benefit convenience, benefit convenience, transaction convenience, and...
