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...
The narrative messages of digital media are delivered to the audience through “video,” “voice,” “text,” and other materials. In this article, two issues for the three materials-“video,” “voice,” and “text”- are explored by two experimental methods respectively; two experimental data can also be mutually compared to clarify experimental results. In the first part, the strength comparison of narrative...
Pumped-liquid single-pass heat sinks with channel dimensions on the order of 0.1mm to 1.0mm are commonly researched for cooling small-scale electronic devices that generate high heat fluxes. This paper presents a simulation-based parametric study that investigates the steady-state thermal and hydrodynamic performance of 1,014 unique designs that employ square channels of a uniform size that are evenly...
Digital media is a talent-shortage major under current development stage and has been included into the badly-needed talents list. Colleges and universities of various regions have been actively establishing and improving the major and clearing that practical talent cultivating is the key to the development of digital media major during innovation process. This paper studies the innovative development...
On behalf of the advisory committee of COOL Chips 20, I extend greetings to each of the conference attendees. This year we celebrate the 20th anniversary of this conference series that is part of the premier conference series on microprocessor architecture and technology and software. Today we have issues in cloud computing, cyber security, IoT, Big Data, and artificial intelligence, especially deep...
The Internet of Things (IoT) involves intelligent, heterogeneous, autonomous and often distributed things which interact and collaborate to achieve common goals. A useful concept for supporting this effort is Emergent Configuration (EC), which consists of a dynamic set of things, with their functionalities and services, that cooperate temporarily to achieve a goal. In this paper we introduce a commitment-based...
We present a formal probabilistic framework for process learning to compose service specific overlays (SSO) in cloud networks. The approach provides a learning mechanism that relies on previous composition results to build service composition process models that can be adopted for future composition requests. The process is then translated into a workflow-net to provide guaranteed delivery of requested...
With the growth of electronics industry the need for data storage also increases, but the industries cannot satisfy this needs, because of technological and fundamental challenges faced by silicon materials. The main problem is scaling and related power issues. So the industries focusing on finding alternating material. This article reviews the nano materials uses in memory technology. First section...
This paper presents the methodology to manage transmission congestion by restructuring the system buses and placing the DG into the system. Here, an interconnected IEEE 14 bus system is reconfigured into 12 bus system and then DG has been placed for congestion management. The results obtained from restructuring of system with DG placement are compared to be more effective than the DG placement for...
In cellular communication, placement of evolved node base station (eNB) is an important issue. It determines the cost to construct, capacity, coverage ratio and quality of service (QoS). In 2G and 3G standards, eNBs have similar coverage range. The idea of heterogeneous network (HetNet) is launched in long term evolution-advanced (LTE-A), where the network contains different eNBs of different coverage...
The increasing demand for clean energy and sustainable living have been promising for Photovoltaic (PV) systems. However, in urban environments, uniform solar insolation is not guaranteed. Thus, conventional Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques severely fail at Partially Shaded Conditions (PSC). In response, a new hybrid technique is being proposed using Adaptive Network-Fuzzy Inference...
The Digital Signage Systems using some computer devices are widely used for displaying some dynamic information, unlike wall ads that are unchanged for a certain period. At the replacement time of our university's digital signage system, we need to implement cost effective digital signage system. Therefore, we developed a brand-new style of the digital signage display device using low-cost information...
With the emergence of Augmented Reality (AR) services in a broad range of application scenarios, the interplay of (compressed) content as delivered and quality as experienced by the user becomes increasingly important. While significant research efforts have uncovered interplays for traditional (opaque) media consumption scenarios, applications in augmented vision scenarios pose significant challenges...
Bad news travels fast. Although this concept may be intuitively accepted, there has been little evidence to confirm that the propagation of bad news differs from that of good news. In this paper, we examine the effect of user perspective on his or her sharing of a controversial news story. Social media not only offers insight into human behavior but has also developed as a source of news. In this...
Cyber crime is the biggest shortcoming in this fully connected internetworking world. Third party attacks, phishing by intruder like hackers are always active to leak official, personal or legislative information in the form of a message using this public networks. This is why we call for Steganography where the sneaky message has been hiding the data/information firmly. Steganography is one of the...
Watermarking is the process of embedding information into a digital signal which may be used to verify its authenticity or the identity of its owners which can further resolve the pilfering of analytical properties. Watermarking plays major role in quality retrieval of data or the message embedded in the image. The process of data retrieval is very much critical as many stumbling blocks are there...
Today, although Blu-ray, DVD, CD, hard disk drive, solid state drive, electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) are available, the lifetime of stored data is short. To store large amounts of data longer than 100 years, long-term data storage media are necessary. Moreover, systems designed for use in space require highly radiation-tolerant memory. As long-term data storage media...
By using a data-driven communication pattern other than location-driven pattern, Named Data Networking (NDN) offers better support for content distribution applications such as video playback application. We propose NDNlive, which exploits the features of NDN to stream live and prerecorded video captured by the camera to multiple players. Instead of fixed-size segmentation, NDNlive chops video stream...
Online learning is one of alternative to improve quality of teaching and learning process in higher education between lecturer and the students, esspecially for the working people with time and place as obstacles for them to continue their education to a higher level. One of the success factor in e-learning is good web usability. With the increasing number of users of e-learning and the importance...
