Objectives: The aim of present study was to determine the effectiveness of conceptual map training method on the achievement of social-economic skill course in male students with intellectual disability. Methods: This study was semi-experimental and 34 male students with intellectual disability who were educating in 3rd grade at pre-professional level in high school selected randomly from Ta...

In certain complex optimization tasks, it becomes necessary to use multiple measures to characterize the performance of di erent algorithms. This paper presents a method that combines ordinal e ect sizes with Pareto dominance to analyze such cases. Since the method is ordinal, it can also generalize across di erent optimization tasks even when the performance measurements are di erently scaled....

Map Reduce has gained remarkable significance as a prominent parallel data processing tool in the research community, academia and industry with the spurt in volume of data that is to be analyzed. Map Reduce is used in different applications such as data mining, data analytics where massive data analysis is required, but still it is constantly being explored on different parameters such as perf...

In this article, a fast and reliable map-merging algorithm is proposed to produce a global two dimensional map of an indoor environment in a multi-robot simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) process. In SLAM process, to find its way in this environment, a robot should be able to determine its position relative to a map formed from its observations. To solve this complex problem, simultan...

This paper aims to evaluate the impact of chaotic sequences on the performance of synchronous TH-UWB system when they are used as multiple access keys. We considered the realistic multi-path channel described in the norm IEEE 802.15.4a. Firstly, we will prove the dependence of the performance on the used multiple access codes by expressing the power of multi-user interference with the aid of th...

This paper presents recent results of on-going research to build new maps of driver performance in car-following situations. The novel performance map is comprised of four driving states: low risk, conflict, near crash, and crash imminent – which correspond to advisory warning, crash imminent warning, and crash mitigation countermeasures. The paper addresses two questions dealing with the appro...
