To emphasize the learning process and make the intangible online learning concrete but not only the learning outcomes, the process-oriented and quantitative assessment is designed based on outline of CyberInfrastucture Based Education to meet the challenge under web-mediated learning environment. It consists of primary, secondary and tertiary index with assistance of synchronous and interactive...

Despite of widespread usage of Global Positioning System (GPS), this system is considered inefficient for indoor areas. Although the most prominent positioning system is Global Positioning System, this system uses some electromagnetic waves which are unable to pass thick obstacles such as concrete roofs and trees [1]. Thus, it cannot be considered as a robust infrastructure for indoor positioni...

This paper proposed a WebGIS-based, template oriented and on-line group spatial decision support system for Investment Environment analysis. This system provides online mapping, online spatial and non-spatial information query and online multi-criteria evaluation through Internet by integration of WebGIS and analytical module. Template servers as the “smart agent” between user and system, it pr...

This paper describes two studies focusing on acceptance of medical technologies from different points of view – in general and in particular. Acceptance of medical assistive technologies was analyzed considering influences of user diversity factors. The first study explored how people perceive the aging process itself and showed how this perception is associated with general aspects of acceptan...

The structures are challenged by earthquakes, material degradations and other environmental factors. In order to protect the lives, assets, for maintenance planning, structural health monitoring (SHM) is important. SHM applications, strain gages widely used which have low durability, sensitivity while they high cost. To monitor a structure, large number of be that increases this study, seven co...

existed electricity grids deliver produced power to the consumer passing through transmission and distribution grids. according to high losses of these grids in transmission level and inexistence of bilateral interaction for simultaneous information exchange, a concept of smart grids were made by capabilities such as consciously participation of consumers in the smart electricity grids, an amou...
