Bioresource utilization represents an important interdisciplinary research that integrates academic and industrial expertise across diverse scientific domains, including physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering. The present paper describes a cyber-infrastructure being created at the Brazilian Bioethanol Science and Technology Laboratory (CTBE) to assist scientists working on the field. One key...
We introduce a framework to predict the landing behaviour of a Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) from the appearance of the landing surface. We approach this problem by learning a mapping from visual texture observed from an onboard camera to the landing behaviour on a set of sample materials. In this case we exemplify our framework by predicting the yaw angle of the MAV after landing. Our framework demonstrates...
Knowledge plays a key role within research, development, innovations and education. This paper presents the use of a long term developed of in-house software that enables a manager and teacher to process and manage knowledge on their desktop computers in a user friendly way. The application WritingPad was originally developed for information processing in an industrial R&D laboratory. The further...
We discuss the problem of combining biometric match scores with liveness measure values in the context of fingerprint verification. Recent literature has focused on the development of methods to assess if an input fingerprint sample is a “live” entity or a “spoof” artefact. This is commonly done by generating a single-valued numerical entity referred to as the liveness measure value. However, the...
The composite molding process design systems are developed on specific manufacturing resources or specific environment whenever at home and abroad, which enjoys a poor versatility. We built the system structure and flow for composite process integration framework after the computer-assisted resin transfer molding software has been developed. Then, studied the template-based data structure and established...
In R/M integrated supply chain, the collecting time, the quality and the quantity of the used-products are uncertain. All of these uncertainties have great impacts on the management of R/M integrated supply chain. By using the technology of Internet of Things, these uncertainties can be reduced efficiently. However, the R/M integrated supply chain based on IoT must face another problem: a unit product...
The sexual exploitation of children online is seen as a global issue and has been addressed by both governments and private organizations. Efforts thus far have focused primarily on the use of image hash value databases to find content. However, recently researchers have begun to use keywords as a way to detect child exploitation content. Within the current study we explore both of these methodologies...
There are many students who can not afford higher education due to any of the reasons. If some teachers who are expert in his/her subject can upload their material on web then the students who cannot afford education from good academic institution can take benefit out of this. For e-learning to be effective students must also be given assignment and test. And their work must be evaluated online. However...
Education in ethnic minority area not only passes on knowledge but also propagates and inherites ethnic minority culture. Curriculum resource can be used as a connection between textbook knowledge and propagating and inheriting ethnic minority culture, which can implement the two goals. On the other hand, humanity property of information technology requires information technology teaching to combine...
As the go as the vigorous development of Chinese nuclear power industry, nuclear power technology is increasingly mature. During Nuclear power plant construction preparation period, a large number of production materials need to be standardized and need professional management, which are still needing to be solved. This paper uses ECP system (take equipment management as the center of production materials...
Waterway management is an important tool to ensure safe smoothness of the waterway and enhance the traffic capacity. Aimed at the incompleteness in information resulted in safe fault triggered by limitation of command dispatch capability, and in waterway availability lowering etc, the paper designed and implemented a management system of main waterway station. Based on the integration of information...
This is a new era of globalized digital knowledge innovation, which requires that teaching and learning need to find innovative point. Network teaching is undoubtedly one of the most efficient means. This paper analyzes the concept of the online course construction and its mode, and further discusses the design and implementation of the online courses.
Language transfer, when someone applies knowledge from their native language to a second language, is a common and typical phenomenon in language learning of bilingual students. This paper lists manifestations of language transfer of Chinese speakers in Japanese learning, puts emphasis on the meaning difference between Chinese characters and Japanese Kanji, and explores a support system for the preparation...
Learning has evolved significantly, creating several challenges for the traditional educational system. This paradigm shift in education is imminent and has since gathered a great deal of interest in recent years, as an attempt to bridge the technological gap in the educational sector. Under EBTIC's international iCampus (intelligent campus) initiative [1], this paper examines mobile cloud-education...
In a previous paper presented at CEC'2011, we reported the implementation of a chess engine based on evo- lutionary programming with a selection mechanism that relied on grandmaster's chess games. The objective was to decide the virtual players that would pass to the following generation. Here, we use these same techniques to adjust a larger number of weights (29 in this work instead of the 5 used...
Several studies in biometrics have confirmed the existence of user-specific score characteristics for genuine and zero-effort impostor score distributions. As an important consequence, biometric users contribute disproportionately to the FRR (false reject rate) and FAR (false accept rate) of the system. This phenomena is also know as the Doddington zoo effect. Recent studies indicate the vulnerability...
In this paper, we present a highly data-driven approach to the task of single image super-resolution. Super-resolution is a challenging problem due to its massively under-constrained nature - for any low-resolution input there are numerous high-resolution possibilities. Our key observation is that, even with extremely low-res input images, we can use global scene descriptors and Internet-scale image...
Blot e-Learning is bio-computing approach to design an effective e-Learning system. E-Learning practice has achieved an enormous momentum, it makes a tremendous impact in education and corporate, each year more of the world's population becomes connected into internet. By the last decade many virtual universities and online-educational sectors emerged, but people were not much benefitted by e-learning...
An Intelligent Tutoring System is helpful for the users who want to undertake a learning process. This paper presents an intelligent tutoring system based on learning agent and knowledge agents to improve the learning and teaching process of the tutoring session. The agents involved are knowledge acquirement agent, knowledge sharing agent, knowledge maintenance agent and learning agent. The knowledge...
Developing 3D systems is a highly complex procedure. Next to a huge variation of possibilities on how to vertically integrate two or more dies, a lot of aspects regarding cost, design and application specific selection of technology have to be considered. Therefore a design model, considering the mutual influence of design and process technology during the integration flow development and a data management...
