However, there are lot of people fail to perform the related activities of health promotion continuously because of the lack of motivation. The purpose of...
This study was conducted to identify the relationship among some intrapersonal factors such as professional competency, interdisplinary ability, social skills capability, and team cohesion. The validated questionnaire was delivered to 296 students in the design programs of universities as research samples. Consequently, the SPSS 18.0 and AMOS statistic software were used to analyze the collected data...
The dispatching of labor and distribution of tasks among workers are important aspects of corporate operations. Labor dispatch refers to the dispatching of employees to meet with clients; however, dispatches commonly vary with time. This means that any analysis pertaining to labor dispatch and work distribution should also vary with time. In this study, MATLAB was used to analyze data from anonymous...
Light-emitting polymers typically possess the π-conjugated light-emitting units to allow the light absorption, energy transfer and light-emitting processes. Currently, the main chain conjugated polymers are mainly investigated but they seldom mention about how stereoregularity affect the light-emitting condition. Consequently, we synthesize the side chain conjugated monomer(9,9-dialkyl-2-(4-vinylphenyl)-9H-fluorene)...
Indoor Positioning (IP) has become a hot technology, enabled by the expansion of wireless communications, as a result of the Internet of Things. Several wireless technologies, such as Wi-Fi, ultrasonic, and Bluetooth, can be used to build IP systems. Because of the low power and cost requirements, using Bluetooth Low Energy for IP systems is more popular now than ever before. However, positioning...
In this paper, we addressed in social network visualization for people's interest in music. This visualization system designed for interest in music on social networks provides several capabilities: (A) visualization for friends who share the same interest in music, (B) to group people who share the same interest in music into categories, and (C) to recommend songs function for an increase in the...
As the technologies of cloud computing grow and mature, software developers, software companies, and academia are more likely to develop, deploy, and operate their applications or services on cloud computing environments. By leveraging cloud computing environments, the complexity and the cost of physical hardware, operation, and related management tasks can be reduced. The capacities brought by cloud...
The age distribution is rapidly aging in Taiwan, which also leads the proportion of elderly driver increases. According to the past studies, the elderly driver caused a much more serious damage than others when there is a traffic accident. Therefore, this study explores the relationship between situation awareness (SA) and driving performance when there are driving emergencies at different driving...
Contrast enhancement is one of the most crucial image processing steps for image quality control. Histogram equalization (HE) is a commonly used contrast-enhancement algorithm that stretches the image intensity histogram to enhance contrast indirectly. Because of its simplicity and efficiency, numerous contrast-enhancement methods based on HE have been proposed in recent years. However, although these...
Participants sometimes cross an intersection when the red light shows but 75.5% deem this behavior incorrect. To reach the MRT station faster, pedestrians at Intersection D of Heping E. Rd. traffic circle often stepped onto the road away from pedestrian crossings, where the distance and crossing time were relatively long and the number of people crossing together was relatively large, a higher percentage...
With the generalization of information and communication technology, instant messaging (IM) has emerged as a tool for synchronous and asynchronous communication in recent years. Among all of the IM applications, Line and Skype are the most frequent used in corporate internal communication. As IM has become one of the necessary means for communication upon workplace, its appearance is also gradually...
How to recycle the beverage cups become more and more important. The EPA announced that the amount of beverage cup amounted to 1.5 billion in the 2011 to 2012, and gradually pays attention to this problem. The beverage cups include the paper, PP, PS, PLA, PET…etc‥ In this paper, we proposed an image-based recognition system to detect the beverage cup. These methodologies contained the image processing...
Two types of linear pentablock copolymers SBSIS, namely, ends-big and middle-big type were prepared by anionic polymerization of styrene (St), isoprene (Ip) and 1,3-butadiene (Bd) in a nonpolar solvent. Various samples having a number average molecular weight (Mn) of 60,000 g/mole were synthesized and characterized. The correlation between molecular structure and characteristic properties allows us...
In this paper, we present a dynamic power adjustment (DPA) scheme for a reader to speed up the tag identification (ID) time in a RFID system. By using TDMA frames, the proposed DPA can adaptively increase or decrease the transmission power of a reader. A factor is designed to adjust the transmission power of a reader by considering two aspects. The first aspect increases the power to read more tags,...
Modest fashion is driven by underlying Islamic mandate to preserve modesty, as laid forth in the Quran and the Sunna. Especially for women, they should cover the body from head to hands and feet. As majority religion in Indonesia, the developing of modest fashion has been growing rapidly. The appearing of new designers who create new modest fashion styles have been contributed to development of modern...
The flipped classroom is one of the contemporary pedagogical methods and it commonly means an instructional model that students view video lectures and practice problems as homework prior to class, and engage student-centered activities in the classroom.
This study reports on the development of a user-survey instrument for Sound for Love, an app-supported wedding activity aimed at encouraging between-guest interaction through musical co-creation. Taking activity theory as its conceptual framework, the developed survey takes into account Sound for Love users' motivations, experience value, satisfaction, and behavioral intentions. As well as its practical...
There were more than 10 million tourists visiting Taiwan in 2016. 46% of tourists would like to experience Taiwanese temple culture. This study found: 1. Foreign tourists have doubt for wayfinding behaviors around lighting change areas and turning points. 2. 78% of tourists experienced the worship culture without correct worship instructions. 3. Merely 20% of foreign tourists using temple's wayfinding...
Taking Shanghai city for example to work out a service blueprint, which will meet the charging requirements of the EV users, this design research focuses on the User Experience. Using the internet survey method and then furtherly developed an App named EV charge. EV charge involves four main functions: real - name registration and login system, locating function to the EV charging stations, online...
This study reports how senior citizens domesticate their personal mobile devices at the beginning of learning process in an adult education class. The aim of this study was to examine how seniors integrate their mobile devices into their personal education experience, what sort of processes were experienced to render the devices useful and meaningful, and how gender and information literacy influenced...
