By now, low-dimensional systems have been extensively explored as channel material for numerous transistor-like device ideas. Carbon nanotubes, nanowires from various materials, graphene, and more recently 2D crystals from di-chalcogenides are studied to evaluate their usefulness for a future nano-electronics, and here in particular logic device applications. While the above named materials are vastly...
This paper employs an evolutionary algorithm to adjust the weights of the evaluation function of a chess engine. The selection mechanism of this algorithm chooses the virtual players (individuals in the population) that have the highest number of problems properly solved from a database of tactical and positional chess problems. This method has as its main advantage that we only mutate those weights...
Modern high-tech products are being more widely used in College English teaching. PowerPoint presentation software is one representative of them. So while English teachers are using multimedia tools to design courseware to make presentations in teaching, is it practicable to enable students to make their own work by using presentation software such as PPT to finish their traditional English exercises...
Social presence is one of the most important factors that influence on learning process in e-learning environments. Many studies to perceive higher degree of social presence in learner and find the factors affecting social presence in e-learning environments have been done. In this study a new method based on existential psychology and knowledge extracted from learner to enhance social presence is...
The questions that are proposed as the basis for academy panel sessions are important ones to ask. In the aggregate, they cover an enormous expanse of the software engineering landscape. The reality of undergraduate computing education is that the vast majority of students do not go through software engineering curricula where there is time to address the academy questions in some depth. Instead,...
This paper describes a dynamic blocks platform, called ARBlocks, which is based on projective augmented reality and tangible user interfaces aiming early childhood educational activities development. This tool was conceived specifically for children, applying design techniques to determinate the best shape, material and typography for young students. The content is displayed by projectors, which exhibit...
The existing study focused more on one-dimensional nanostructures such as nanotubes and nanofibers for various potential applications, but less on evaluation of their mechanical properties. Therefore, this study mainly concentrates on near-field electrospinning (NFES) and hollow cylindrical near-field electrospining (HCNFES) process to fabricate permanent piezoelectricity of polyvinylidene fluoride...
This article describes the University basic computer course in support of the network platform of auxiliary teaching, I proofread carried out the reform of the teaching mode, from lecture-based teaching paradigm shift for teachers, just to play a guiding role in the teaching process, and then teaching mode, supplemented by a self-learning, to provide an independent learning platform, the use of metacognitive...
This article shows a case study in which the mathematics teacher can create learning objects (LO), by simply just having basic computer knowledge. It was taught a training course for teachers about the use of authoring tools to create these objects. In this training, the teachers, besides creating an LO, also answered three questionnaires, and these data were statistically analyzed. We conclude that...
Time has shown that technology has always had a significant influence on and role in education. The more advanced technology was the greater contribution it made to education. When we look back we can clearly see how great an influence film, radio and television have had on education. The second half of the twentieth century was marked by the results of the use of computers and information and communication...
The educational technology is used at all levels of education. In the USA educational technology studies are already established. In German speaking countries the term “didactics of informatics” is used to cover ICT topics. Other countries rather use “didactics of computer science” to describe the special didactics discipline. It is evident that teachers of informatics or teachers of computer science...
The aim of this paper is to present results of the research among students at the Faculty of humanities and social sciences in Zagreb (FHSS) on two important topics: students' use of digital information resources and preservation of these digital information resources. To find out more about these two topics, a research study was designed. The results confirmed that digital information resources are...
In last few years we witnessed huge growth in e-learning materials production. Hardware development and its availability managed to shatter the computer world. Last year more tablet computers were sold than all others computers combined. Smart phones are in the reach of children. Huge market was created for software application and e-learning materials. Groups of experts cooperate in the production...
Based on an analysis of the present teaching situation of Digital Logic course in higher school, this paper points out its existing problems, discusses some key issues and then proposes the ideas such as bringing modern design methodology into course teaching, conducting hierarchical textbooks construction, employing different teaching method and teaching content for different teaching objectives...
Some distance education institutions have invested heavily in print-based resources, and learners still show a preference for print; but some concepts and practical or skills based courses, for example science or engineering, do not translate well into the print medium. This paper presents Augmented Reality (AR) as a possible solution and discusses the development and implementation of an AR application...
This work aims to analyze the effect caused by the implementation of logistics automation project in the process of separation uniform refundable in SDAB (Supply Sub Directorate), between the years 2010 and 2012. The research used as the source database of Integrated Supply System (SIA), intended to check the performance of separation before and after implementation of the automation project. The...
To counter the growing lack of experts in the IT sector, and to give, at the same time, a possibility for lifelong learning, a consortium of north German universities has initiated the project “Computer Engineering Online”. The goal is to develop and to publish an eLearning online study program for computer engineering in winter 2012. Referred to the blended learning strategy, the bigger part of the...
ICT integration in mathematics education provides mathematics teachers with integrative teaching methods that motivate students learning, support their independent learning and active participation in the discovery of mathematics concepts and topics, and, as a result, helps them have deeper understanding of the mathematical ideas. So, the integration of ICT in the teaching and learning of mathematics,...
