Although the motivating role of feedback and progress indicators is understood in formal learning, their role in supporting incidental mobile learning is less well understood. In this paper we argue that well-designed feedback and progress indicators (FPIs) offer guidance and structure that may encourage mobile app users to move from fragmented learning episodes towards a longer term, reflectiv...

For user-friendliness purposes, many modern software systems provide progress indicators for longrunning tasks. These progress indicators continuously estimate the percentage of the task that has been completed and when the task will finish. However, none of the existing program compilation tools provide a non-trivial progress indicator, although it often takes minutes or hours to build a large...

BACKGROUND Post-traumatic large-surface or deep wounds often cannot progress to reepithelialisation because they become irresponsive in the inflammatory stage, so intervention is necessary to provide the final sealing epidermis. Previously we have shown that Amniotic Membrane (AM) induced a robust epithelialisation in deep traumatic wounds. METHODS AND FINDINGS To better understand this pheno...

The growth of e-learning, and subsequently, of blended learning in recent years in response to the global demand for increased productivity in education and training has been astounding! While the commercial response, including that of universities, to this rapid increase in demand and to the associated potential of communications technologies to provide global access has been impressive, signi...

In this brief note, I will describe a variety of problems from Ramsey theory on which I would like to see progress made. To encourage this progress, I am offering modest rewards for most of these problems. This material is based on a 20-minute talk I gave at the meeting in Carrollton.

Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is a new trend showing promising progress over time in the era of Industry 4.0. So far, various research has been done for increasing reliability and productivity printing process. In this regard, reviewing existing concepts forwarding novel directions are important. This paper reviews summarizes process flow, technologies, configurations,...

This paper explores temporal aspects of control behavior in order to support the design of systems where functions can be allocated flexibly in time. Dynamic Function Scheduling, an extension of Dynamic Function Allocation approaches, highlights the role of temporal information and temporal reasoning in supervisory control decisions. The microworld experiment presented 30 participants with a su...

Nowadays mostly database applications are based on long-running and complex queries. So it will be helpful for users to have information about progress of query execution. Recently development of percent done progress indicators has been increased. For this purpose in this paper we propose such progress indicator for multiple concurrently running queries. The main focus is on providing progress...
