In a learning situation, varying needs of disabled children can be met in a personal and adaptive learning environment. We give a description of an agent-based learning environment for special needs education. The learning environment ensures individualized learning processes for every learner. We have implemented a functioning prototype targeted to children suffering from frontal lobe lesion. ...

wireless sensor networks(wsn) have unique properties that distinguished them from other wireless networks and have special challenges. not-chargeable, not-changeable and limited power supplies of sensor nodes is the most important challenge of this networks, and if the power supply of node expired, a part of data maybe lost. because of the importance of covers in wireless sensors, in this work ...

1. We assessed children's physical activity (PA) in structured (physical education) and unstructured (recess, lunch, before and after school) periods in special schools and examined its association with modifiable area contextual characteristics. 2. Children with disabilities were not highly active, but were more active during recess and lunch periods than at other times including physical educ...

Modeling and simulation using high-performance computing are playing an increasingly important role in decision making and prediction. For time-critical emergency decision support applications, such as influenza modeling and severe weather prediction, late results may be useless. A specialized infrastructure is needed to provide computational resources quickly. This paper describes the architec...

The future development of industries is currently on the agenda of public and scientific debates. Due to new technical options such as artificial intelligence and robots, sensor networks, big data, etc., which are “captured in terms such as the Internet of Things and the Internet of Robotic Things” according to van Est and Kools [1], visions like Industry 4.0 in Germany, the Future d’Industrie ...

Special libraries all over the world today fulfil a whole variety of different services at a wide range of locations. This diversified spectrum of activities is by no means a recent development. At the time that the Special Library Association (SLA) was founded at the 1909 conference of the American Library Association (ALA), special libraries already had little to do with traditional library t...

The spring 1996 issue of The Future of Children on special education reviewed the legislative and litigation history of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This Revisiting article examines the impact of the two U.S. Supreme Court cases setting forth school districts' responsibility to reimburse parents of students with disabilities for private school tuition under certain ci...
