This research proposes a context-aware computing ubiquitous learning system architecture design. The system integrates data grid, the ability to perform context-awareness computing, and embedded Ganglia Agent design, structuring an architecture that is able to perform context awareness mobile network, creating a ubiquitous learning environment. The embedded Ganglia Agent could provide context i...

flexible ac transmission systems (facts) controllers with its ability to directly control the power flow can offer great opportunities in modern power system, allowing better and safer operation of transmission network. in this paper, in order to find type, size and location of facts devices in a power system a dedicated improved particle swarm optimization (dipso) algorithm is developed for de...

Working memory is a limited-capacity cognitive process that retains relevant information temporarily to guide thoughts and behavior. A large body of work has suggested that catecholamines exert a major modulatory influence on cognition, but there is only equivocal evidence of a direct influence on working memory ability, which would be reflected in a dependence on working memory load. Here we t...

The design of the Android system allows applications to load additional code from external sources at runtime. On the one hand, malware can use this capability to add malicious functionality after it has been inspected by an application store or anti-virus engine at installation time. On the other hand, developers of benign applications can inadvertently introduce vulnerabilities. In this paper...

Fuel diversification implies the selection of a mix of generation technologies for long-term electricity generation. The goal is to strike a good balance between reduced costs and reduced risk. The method of analysis that has been advocated and adopted for such studies is the mean-variance portfolio analysis pioneered by Markowitz (1959). However the standard mean-variance methodology, does not...

The strength of a corrugated container is usually determined and reported as crush strength under progressively increasing top-to-bottom compressive load. The test is performed in seconds in a controlled constant temperature and relative humidity environment. However, a dynamic strength test under controlled conditions cannot account for the reduction in load-carrying ability inherent in the ex...

Zinc oxide-eugenol (ZOE) is usually applied clinically as dental filling material for thermal insulation and temporary restoration. The objective of this study was to use ZOE as a composite matrix and low melting-point polyester fibers or fabrics as reinforcement. The added fibers or fabrics increased the composite materials’ compressive load by 250 N and 290 N, respectively. Fiber length and t...
