E-learning has become an efficient and widespread means of education at all levels of human activities. Statistics is no exception. Unfortunately the main focus in statistics teaching is usually paid to the substitution in formulas. Suitable websites can simplify and automate calculations and provide more attention and time to the basic principles of statistics, mathematization of real-life sit...

Abstract The use of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), an assisted reproductive technique (ART), is increasing widely. ICSI currently performed by specially skilled embryologists. However, with the demand for ART, shortage embryologists has become a problem. Therefore, we propose immersive micromanipulation system that requires no special skills efficient and accurate micromanipulation. O...

This study extends existing research on the real earnings management by examining impacts of audit committee attributes in Nigeria. The analyses involve a sample 72 non-financial firms with 360 firm-year observations for five-year period (2014-2018). Data was obtained from annual reports these companies as well Thompson Reuters and Bloomberg databases. Panel Corrected Standard Error used to tes...

This paper presents a real-time open-architecture control system (ROACS) which has been developed for flexible manipulation of industrial robots. Flexible manipulation refers to robot manipulation that handles tasks with uncertainties; hence, decision-making based on feedback data is essential in realtime operation. A real-time open-architecture control system with the capacity of parallel proc...

The application of game elements a in non-gaming context offers a great potential regarding the engagement of senior citizens with information systems. In this paper, we suggest the application of gamification to routine tasks and leisure activities, namely physical and cognitive therapy, the gamification of real-life activities which are no longer accessible due to age-related changes and the ...

Three-dimensional computer-aided modeling of dynamic processes supported by virtual reality techniques such as 3D-stereo viewing and nD manipulation devices does not reach the usability (ease, concreteness, intuitiveness, directness) that we experience in modeling with real physical objects. Pure virtual prototyping may reduce cognition and communication. To solve this problem we introduce the ...

An essential part of any activity recognition system claiming be truly real-time is the ability to perform feature extraction in real-time. We present, in this paper, a quite simple and computationally tractable approach for real-time human activity recognition that is based on simple statistical features. These features are simple and relatively small, accordingly they are easy and fast to be ...

Abstract This work presents a real-time system for tracking multiple object in the context of meal preparation when using Cognitive Orthosis CoOKing (COOK). is called SafeCOOK. It aims to provide more capabilities detect some dangerous situations that current does not consider. For example, it can locate utensil or other kitchen has been left on cooking surface stove while being prepared. uses ...
