We describe a novel transformation of a playground merry-go-round, teeter-totter (also referred to as a seesaw), swings, and climbing structure – from its traditional purpose to a collaborative and interactive musical performance system by equipping key structures with sensors that communicate with a computer. A set of Max/ MSP patches translate the physical gestures of playground play into a v...

" Unidirectional channel systems " (Chambart & Schnoebelen, CONCUR 2008) are systems where one-way communication from a sender to a receiver goes via one reliable and one unreliable (unbounded fifo) channel. Equipping these systems with the possibility of testing regular properties on the contents of channels makes verification undecidable. Decidability is preserved when only emptiness and none...

Education, also the technical one, is supposed to prepare students for adult life, not only by providing them with ready-made knowledge, but first of all by equipping students with an ability to learn, gather and select information. Active methods influence students’ senses, allowing for a better understanding and remembering the subject matter. The study shows some didactic methods used in tec...

In this paper the feasibility of equipping a mobile robot with the ability to learn a path, in real time, using principles based on insect-based navigation skills and a biologically plausible neural network model inspired by the "Conjunction of Local Features Network" (CLF network) through both real-world and controlled environment experiments is presented. Results shown for experiments on a pr...

With equipping multiple antennas at both transmitter and receiver ends, the signals in the wireless OFDM systems could be transmitted over multipath fading channels for achieving benefits and high flexibility. In this paper, we focus on MIMO-OFDM systems that simultaneously perform channel estimation in order to combat additive noise, and multipath fading. The performance improvement is confirm...

Scientific motivation for equipping the GBT with receivers for the 3mm band (68-116 GHz) has been discussed in several memos [1]-[3], and later presented in a proposal by the GBT 3mm Receiver Working Group [4]. It was decided that the first receiver module to be built should be capable of both continuum detection and spectroscopy in the 68-92 GHz band (Module 1). Other frequencies and capabilit...

Equipping paraprofessionals to implement evidence-based instructional practices with fidelity can enhance the education of students visual impairments. We used a multiple probe across participants design evaluate ability follow constant time delay procedures high when teaching braille words. delivered performance feedback by e-mail and examined student learning outcomes. All three achieved 100%...
