Mechatronics Control Devices

Mechatronic control devices are found everywhere; they are built into kitchen appliances, aircraft, cameras, computers, power stations, even in toilet cisterns. They may be built from micro-circuits, mechanical levers, hydraulic or magnetic devices. Though they come in diverse forms, the aim is the same—to regulate or control the behaviour of the machine or process they are part of. They often ...

The Technical Committee on Wearable Information Systems

Wearable computing is getting increasingly integrated in our every day life and the evolution of our community continues. In addition to the IEEE International Symposium on Wearable Computers, TC WIS co-sponsors the IEEE and ACM International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR) and a few other conferences and workshops. The TC helped initiate the IEEE Computer Society’s Pervasive C...

International Glutamate Technical Committee

While sodium reduction in the diet is an important objective, when salt (NaCl) levels are reduced in foods, its palatability is also generally decreased. Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a flavour enhancer that contains about 12% sodium, which is less than half of that contained in regular table salt at about 39%. Therefore, by the addition of an appropriate amount of MSG, the palatability of low ...

the effects of cooperative versus individual directed reading thinking activities on students inferential and referential questions

two groups of students were assigned as experimental and control ones, and were given instruction on directed reading-thinking activities and after some treatment, they were post-tested. although the initial pre-test did not show any significant differences, the final post-test result revealed that the cooperative reading comprehension helped the experimental group. the cooperative students’...
