A battery storage technology database was developed to assess the state of the art of different battery types by a literature and manufacturer data review. The database contains key techno-economic parameters to provide a solid basis for common assessment, modeling and comparison of battery storage technologies. A new approach is the comparison of literature data with manufacturer data to identify...
The Chinese genebank contains 6169 wild soybean (Glycine soja) accessions collected from 25 provinces. In this study, leaf shape and a suite of other morphological characteristics were analyzed in order to examine the relationship between leaf shape and other characteristics of wild soybeans. The accessions were classified into the following six groups based on leaf shape: accessions with round leaves,...
Knapsack problems range over a large sphere of real world challenges [?]. For example, every year a professor has to decide her new “squad” of students/staff from possibly hundreds of candidates, while having a restricted budget of funding in consideration. Moreover, in many cases, she has to resort to her colleagues and senior students to make comparisons among the candidates. The difficulties of...
Allocation of budget for acquisition of an academic library is an important initiative to enhance the efficiency of management, to accomplish the objectives ensuring the availability of materials in a library. Processing the circulation data of library, two important dimensions, namely, concentration and connection [1] could be explored among departments and library members. This can make the analysis...
In order to make the development process of a closed domain dialogue system become easier and faster, we proposed an easily independent closed domain dialogue system by using information state approach. To handle the adaptability of domain, we employed the concept of operand, operator and expression. These concepts are used in the knowledge representation and in the information state used in dialogue...
Objectives: In order to better understand the synergetic activities of radix aconite lateralis praeparata (Fuzi)-rheum officinale (Dahuang) herb pairs. Material and methods: The target proteins of Fuzi and Dahuang were retrieved from PubChem database and were uploaded to ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) platform. Then we carried out molecular network analysis and canonical pathway analysis. Finally,...
In this paper, we introduce a refined Educational Data Mining approach, which refrains from explicit learner modeling along with an evaluation concept. We use a Data Mining technology, which models students' learning characteristics by considering real data instead of deriving their characteristics explicitly. It aims at mining course characteristics similarities of former students' study traces and...
With the rapid development of science and technology, teaching mode by multimedia and network has become an indispensable part of the English teaching. How to effectively use a lot of media and network teaching, breaking through the traditional teaching mode, high efficiency, high quality, comprehensive to improve English teaching has become a English teacher's problems that urgently need to be solved...
In the past decades, many countries have suffered from serious blackouts which demonstrate catastrophic consequences caused by rare events in power systems. To address the emerged issues, the contingency screening and ranking should consider the risks of potential failures instead of the associated probabilities of following-up failures alone. However, it is computationally infeasible to evaluate...
This study explores the environmental impact of the conversion of an internal combustion engine (ICE) sports motorcycle into a converted battery-powered electric vehicle (CBEV). Zero tailpipe emissions might lead to the assumption that such an ICE-to-BEV conversion will always yield net positive environmental benefits in life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy reductions, but energy inputs...
A life cycle inventory analysis is conducted in this study to evaluate the environmental merit of a vehicle to home (V2H) system towards the conventional counterpart equivalent in terms of environmental impact category global warming expressed as CO2 emissions. The V2H system comprises a residential house, a photovoltaic solar system, a battery electric vehicle and a charging system, whereas the conventional...
This study evaluated/analyzed parts after collecting/analyzing various data of the core parts like motor, inverter and high-voltage battery equipped in green cars, in real-time for each season and each driving road by using the real-time driving monitoring system. In case of green cars in which high-voltage battery is the main power source, the changes of parts characteristics caused by the external...
Students' preference of search engines in online information retrieval has been a problem for several reasons. This work tries to share our experience about the reasons why they do not utilize academic databases. Past experiences, seeking convenience, and the availability of automatic translation in search engines seem to be the main reasons. Several suggestions are offered that aim to increase the...
This paper presents the importance of application and integration of learning styles in adaptive educational hypermedia systems — AEHS. The main goal of the paper is a comparative analysis of the data obtained from the initial questionnaire based on Felder-Silverman learning style model and the data from the user model and domain model of our AEHS system TeleEDUCOS. Results of the analysis indicate...
Semantic Web and ontology play an important role in various research fields today, but are rarely used in the materials science domain. In this paper we propose an approach to find a mapping method from metal materials database to an ontology. The proposed method refers to the latest W3C standard DM and R2RML. The goal of the mapping system is to transform Relational Database (RDB) to the Resource...
This paper describes results of a study seeking to identify observable events related to insider sabotage. We collected information from actual insider threat cases, created chronological timelines of the incidents, identified key points in each timeline such as when attack planning began, measured the time between key events, and looked for specific observable events or patterns that insiders held...
Dissemination of architectural and archaeological Cultural Heritage is a relevant task in the process of its documentation and has to reach the wider audience possible. Digital implementation is today a must, and is more and more accessible considering that Information Technologies skills required are being simplified thanks to new solutions and open source sharing. The paper focuses on the different...
In this paper, a knowledge exploration assistant system for inquiry-based learning is proposed to support students when inquiry-based learning is conducted. The proposed system provides students with instant assistance with proper knowledge materials and knowledge exploration functions during their learning process. In addition, students' learning history is automatically recorded by the proposed...
The use of IT applications in teaching and learning had changed the way students learn using e-learning which was more modern, effective and efficient. This paper will explain the result for e-learning system performance evaluation based on faculties and students perspective using the Web-Based Evaluation model of E-Learning system. Number of samples used in this study were 348 students and 270 lecturers...
Research addressing learning of individual database topics is much more common than research that attempts to address broader issues in learning of database. This paper proposes a lesson planning approach for an introductory database course based on selected principles of the minimalist instructional design and the ARCS model of motivational design. The basic idea is to design action oriented lessons...
