This paper developed and evaluated a Lilliput Multimedia (LM) system to enhance students’ learning motivation by bringing them personally onto the scene to explore the world without having to leave the classroom. The LM system integrates of digital multimedia exhibition content, remote-controlled toy cars, and toy models of the buildings to motivate the students and engage them to learn as if t...

Avian species persistence in a forest patch is strongly related to the degree of isolation and size of a forest patch and the vegetation structure within a patch and its matrix are important predictors of bird habitat suitability. A combination of space-borne optical (Landsat), ALOS-PALSAR (radar), and airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data was used for assessing variation in forest ...

This paper presents a preliminary study that relates the ability in performing remote control tasks with 3D video feedback and the users’ quality of experience (QoE) when users are asked to judge the video quality only. The QoE has been evaluated by means of traditional subjective quality experiments, while an objective performance indicator (alignment error) has been used in the remote control...

The problems causality and causality violation in topologically nontrivial spacetime models are considered. To this end the mixed boundary problem for traversable wormhole models is formulated and the influence of the boundary conditions on the causal properties of space-time is analyzed

Because of the extreme importance of remote sensing as a data input to GIS, it has. Remote sensing can be defined as any process whereby information is.Remote sensing is the process of acquiring datainformation about. Application G-The final element of the remote sensing process is achieved when we.Abstract : Remote sensing is a technique to observe the earth surface or the atmosphere from. Pro...

Li and Zhou propose to add monitors Vs to elementary siphons S only while controlling the rest of dependent siphons—important for large systems but far from being maximally permissive. The control policy for weakly dependent siphons (WDS) is rather conservative due to some negative terms in the controllability. We show that this is no longer true as can be shown that it has the same controllabi...

The retrieval of a consolidated, apparently stable memory can return it to a labile state, necessitating another period of stabilization, termed reconsolidation. During reconsolidation, memories are susceptible to modifications, thus providing the opportunity to change unwanted memories. In a test of whether the possibility to alter retrieved memories depends on the age of the memories, partici...

development. Broad sets of economic opportunities accrue to a place by virtue of both its size and its access to larger economies. And, access to larger economies—centers of information, communication, trade, and finance— provides the conduit through which the smaller economy connects to national and international marketplaces. These relationships among economies are basic concepts of central p...
