In Indonesia, an education system is implemented where students with special learning needs can get in public schools. One type of child accepted by schools blind. Blind children usually have various things during learning, such as difficulty understanding abstract concepts, low motivation, slow to understand the material, and need repetitive material. Therefore, community service required prov...

the infomax algorithm is a popular method in blind source separation problem. in this article an extension of the infomax algorithm is proposed that is able to separate mixed signals with any sub- or super-gaussian distributions. this ability is the results of using two different nonlinear functions and new coefficients in the learning rule. in this paper we show how we can use the distribution...

The blind and visually impaired people needs assistance in their day-to-day life, for navigation, detecting objects, text recognition etc., Computer vision based assistive device for the blind is promising and efficient technology but still, the area is still a developing one. Various assistive device exist today to assist the blind most of which are still in prototypical stages. Purpose of thi...

statement of problem: blindness as a disability seems to produce difficulties to reach an ideal heath status of the teeth. moreover ordinary educational health programmes for this group of population, especially children, are not successful. purpose: investigate the dental health status of these children and to see if they are really different with the normal population. materials and methods: ...

A key issue for systems that rely on community contributed, updated, and verified information is motivating and sustain­ ing participation. We investigate this issue in the context of civic, geographically-situated information systems. We fo­ cus on StopInfo, a system that provides detailed information about transit stops, primarily oriented toward blind and low vision riders. StopInfo augments...

Scientists observe, discover, justify and eventually share their findings with the scientific community. Dissemination is an integral aspect of discovery, since discoveries which go unnoticed have no or little impact on science. Today, peer review part this process dissemination as it contributes proactively to quality a article. As numbers journals articles published therein are increasing ste...

Independent grocery shopping is one of the most functionally challenging tasks for visually impaired and blind individuals. Many assistive shopping systems have been developed to address the problem of blind grocery shopping. In this article, we identify several design requirements for assistive shopping systems and analyze existing approaches to see how well they meet them. Our objective is to...

Feature-based descriptions of concepts produced by subjects in a property generation task are widely used in cognitive science to develop empirically grounded concept representations and to study systematic trends in such representations. This article introduces BLIND, a collection of parallel semantic norms collected from a group of congenitally blind Italian subjects and comparable sighted su...
