One of the main problems faced by university students is to create and manage the semester course plan. In this paper, we present a course enrollment recommender system based on data mining techniques. The system mainly helps with students’ enrollment decisions. More specifically, it provides recommendation of selective and optional courses with respect to students’ skills, knowledge, interests...

This paper describes our experience in trying to transfer our revised software engineering curriculum from UC Berkeley to other universities. Our original plan was just to develop an inexpensive electronic textbook, but we were swept up in the first wave of Massive Open Online Course (MOOCs) while we were writing it. Thus, the paper lists the lessons learned about educational technology transfe...

In this report we present a summary of the recent literature in the Data Integration research area, focusing our attention on some new issues that are relevant to this area, mostly from an architectural perspective. In fact, although general architectures for data integration systems assign them a centralized role, it does not seem to be a valid approach in real distributed scenarios: some rece...

Safety concerns may arise from a lack of standardization and ambiguity during the treatment planning and delivery process in radiation therapy. A standardized target and organ-at-risk naming convention in radiation therapy was developed by a task force comprised of several Radiation Oncology Societies. We present a nested-survey approach in a community setting to determine the methodology for r...

Developing products and business processes to serve subsistence marketplaces (or the roughly 4 billion poor around the world referred to as the bottom of the pyramid) is a significant challenge for businesses. Despite the importance of subsistence marketplaces, most product development educational curricula have been focused on relatively resource-rich and literate consumers and markets. We tea...

A Content, Context, Connection and Researching, Reasoning, Reflecting (3C3R) model is a conceptual framework for problem-based learning (PBL) problem design. We introduced the 3C3R-PBL method into a pediatric teaching plan, and evaluated its effectiveness and feasibility. The 3C3R model was applied in a pediatric problem design teaching plan "why the lips turn purple when a baby is crying". All...

the aim of the present study was to examine the effects of a course of aerobic exercise on pulmonary function and tolerance of activity in asthmatic patients. among the asthmatic patients, 36 patients (m= 16, f= 20) were chosen after clinical examinations, pulmonary function test, skin prick test (spt) for aeroallergen and a six minute walk test (6mwt) on their own free will. a patient was said...

he ability to modify an existing plan to make it conform to the t f constraints of a new (or changed) planning situation is importan or plan reuse, replanning and case-based planning. While , [ significant amount of past work addressed this problem (e.g. 2, 3] [5, 1] [13] [17], [16]), there is still a lack of understanding . F of the general types of modification strategies and their coverage o...
