Meanings of morphological categories are an indispensable component of representation of sentence semantics. In the Prague Dependency Treebank 2.0, sentence semantics is represented as a dependency tree consisting of labeled nodes and edges. Meanings of morphological categories are captured as attributes of tree nodes; these attributes are called grammatemes. The present paper focuses on morpho...

In recent years, the fabrication of bulk materials with ultra fine grain sized materials processed by SPD methods. Different techniques have been used to introduce large plastic strains in to bulk metals such as Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) [1-3], Accumulative Roll Bonding (ARB) [4-7], Repetitive Corrugation and Straitening (RCS) [8,9], Constrained Groove Pressing (CGP) [5] and Constra...

The introduction on large scale of high strength materials in automotive industry provided the possibility to reduce weight and produce safer cars. But at the same time these materials yield more springback than deep drawing steels. This can lead to problems designing the right tools for the forming process. This paper presents a method for the optimization of sheet metal forming parameters in ...

As a broader array of communication tools is developed, designers of learning environments need a better understanding of what kinds of communication each medium is best suited for. Each of the new media have different affordances and constraints. One of our principles for the design of learning environments is “Render unto each medium what it does best.” This paper is an attempt to state some ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of using synchronous and asynchronous communication tools in online group activities to develop collaborative learning skills. An experimental study was implemented on a sample of faculty of education students in Mansoura University. The sample was divided into two groups, a group studied using synchronous communication tools, and the othe...

Aiming to offer a framework for blended learning to the teaching of proof theory, the present paper describes an interactive tutorial, called TryLogic, teaching how to solve logical conjectures either by proofs or refutations. The paper also describes the integration of our infrastructure with the Virtual Learning Environment Moodle through the IMS Learning Tools Interoperability specification,...

The design and construction of instrumentation systems require a broad background in many disciplines. The system design in this paper was further complicated by the subject of the measurement. Attempting to measure the bending forces on a rotating shaft is difficult in the extreme. We believe that the approach taken in the design of this Instrumentation and Measurement System is unique and has...
