The content industry has been undergoing a tremendous transformation in the last two decades. We focus in this paper on recent changes in the form of social computing. Although the content industry has implemented social computing to a large extent, it has done so from a techno-centric approach in which social features are viewed as complementary rather than integral to content. This approach d...

|A new formulation for coordinate system independent adaptation of arbitrary normal mutation distributions with zero mean is presented. This enables the evolution strategy (ES) to adapt the correct scaling of a given problem and also ensures invariance with respect to any rotation of the tness function (or the coordinate system). Especially rotation invariance, here resulting directly from the ...

BACKGROUND Many factors shape the quality of learning. The intrinsically motivated students adopt a deep approach to learning, while students who fear failure in assessments adopt a surface approach to learning. In the area of health science education in Nepal, there is still a lack of studies on learning approach that can be used to transform the students to become better learners and improve ...

Contemporary phenomenal externalists are motivated to a large extent by the transparency of experience and by the related doctrine of representationalism. On their own, however, transparency and representationalism do not suffice to establish externalism. Hence we should hesitate to dismiss phenomenal internalism, a view shared by many generations of competent philosophers. Rather, we should ke...

The increased usage of embedded pre-designed reusable cores necessitates a core-based test strategy, in which cores are tested as separate entities. IEEE P1500 Standard for Embedded Core Test (SECT) is a standard-underdevelopment that aims at improving ease of reuse and facilitating interoperability with respect to the test of core-based system chips, especially if they contain cores from diffe...

Section 1: Introduction . Industrialization has an important role to play in the process of economic development. The importance of industrialisation as a means for achieving rapid growth and prosperity had been recognised in the development strategy of independent India. The bold program of industrialization in India was started with the second five-year plan by realizing the need of the econo...

Reducing cost of material handling has been a big challenge for companies. Flexible manufacturing system employed automated guided vehicles (AGV) to maintain efficiency and flexibility. This paper presents a new non-linear mathematical programming model to group n machines into N loops, to make an efficient configuration for AGV system in Tandem layout. The model minimizes bot...

GLUEMINISAT 2.2.10 is a SAT solver based on MINISAT 2.2 and the LBD evaluation criteria of learned clauses. A new feature of 2.2.10 is an adaptive restart strategy based on literal block size. The default restart strategy is same as GLUCOSE, that is, the solver restarts when the average of LBDs for recent learned clauses becomes worse. When the average size of literal block is small, the solver...
