objectives: the vineland adaptive behavior scale-ii is useful in assessing an individual’s daily functioning. they can be used as an evaluation and diagnostic tool for individuals who are mentally retarded or individuals with other handicaps. methods: to determine the efficacy of vabs in clinical settings, 3 cases with mental retardation and behavioral or emotional problems were evaluated accor...

This paper describes a courseware system delivered over the World Wide Web for transforming existing video-taped courses. The on-line courses take advantage of the interactivity and the individualized instruction of intelligent tutoring systems. They use synchronized audio and HTML slides to present material to the student. An overlay student model records a student’s ability on each topic in t...

An approach to analyzing structures by using beam elements is developed with adaptive displacement interpolation functions. First, the element stiffness matrix and equivalent nodal loads are derived on the basis of the equilibrium between nodal forces and section forces rather than the compatibility between nodal deformations and section deformations, which avoids discretization errors caused b...

Personalised education is a topical matter today and the impact of ICT on education has been covered extensively. The adaptation of education to various types of student is an issue of a vast number of papers presented at diverse conferences. The topic incorporates the fields of information technologies and eLearning, but in no small part also the field of pedagogy. By interconnecting eLearning...

This paper presents an adaptive control approach for flutter suppression of a performance adaptive aeroelastic wing equipped with a variable camber continuous trailing edge flap design. The adaptive control approach is based on the optimal control modification method augmented to a linear quadratic gaussian optimal control design. A model reduction based on a singular perturbation approach is p...

Abstract Recently, camouflage technology has attracted researchers’ attention in a large variety of thermal applications. As special phase change material (PCM), vanadium dioxide (VO 2 ) is an excellent candidate for the studies conducted on technology. VO transition from insulator to metal with increase temperature. With regards this unique feature, can contribute dynamic properties design. In...
