This paper describes the design and features of a computer interactive game for the learning of basic aspects of the binary system by primary level education pupils. The design of this game was based on modern social and constructivist theories of learning, at the same time acknowledging the research literature related to educational computer games. In the context of this game, pupils are asked...

A key challenge for cognitive neuroscience is to decipher the representational schemes of the brain. A recent class of decoding algorithms for fMRI data, stimulus-feature-based encoding models, is becoming increasingly popular for inferring the dimensions of neural representational spaces from stimulusfeature spaces. We argue that such inferences are not always valid, because decoding can occur...

Although decimal arithmetic is widely used in commercial and financial applications, the related computations are handled in software. As a result, applications that use decimal data may experience performance degradations. Use of the newly defined decimal floating-point (DFP) format instead of binary floatingpoint is expected to significantly improve the performance of such applications. Syste...

The genetic algorithm is of advantages to solve an inversion of complex non-linear geophysical equations. Its multi-point searching is able to find the globally optimal solution and avoid falling into a local extremum. The searching efficiency of the genetic algorithm is a key to successfully resolve a geophysical inversion problem in a huge model space with multi-parameters. Encoding mechanism...

Integer arithmetic is specified according to three views: unary, binary, and decimal notation. The binary and decimal view have as their characteristic that each normal form resembles common number notation, that is, either a digit, or a string of digits without leading zero, or the negated versions of the latter. The unary view comprises a specification of integer arithmetic based on 0, succes...

The Dewey Decimal Classification System is the basic standard used to organize information resources collected in libraries. This classification method organizes universal knowledge using Hindu-Arabic numerals from 000 999. In this regard, there are some problems organizing Geography textbooks.Especially today; curriculum found University has expanded and developed into anInterdisciplinary Scie...

Hundreds of image encryption algorithms have been developed for the security and integrity images through combination DNA computing chaotic maps. This two instruments is not sufficient enough to thwart potential threats from cryptanalysis community as literature review suggests. To inject more robustness stuff, a novel scheme has written in this research by fusing system, Castle —a chess piece....
