As recognition of the roles and contributions Instructional Design Technology (IDT) professionals has increased, so demand for their skills in workplace whether higher education institutions or business entities. However, there remains some ambiguity, especially education, about who IDTs are what they do. There also questions is hiring them. This content analysis study 250 advertised corporate ...

Abstract Improvisational drama techniques (IDTs) can benefit foreign language (FL) learners by offering them an engaging way to practise speaking while hiding behind the safety of a character mask. This study aimed glean perceptions toward and experiences with IDTs among FL student teachers, as well training needs related integrating pedagogical tool. Foreign teachers at Dutch university who ha...

The goal of this thesis is to investigate if it is possible to use measurements of physiological parameters to accelerate learning of target shooting for novice marksmen in Saab’s Ground combat indoor trainer (GC-IDT). This was done through a literature study that identified brain activity, eye movements, heart activity, muscle activity and breathing as related to shooting technique. The sensor...

The design and optimization of nanostructure-based surface acoustic wave (SAW) gas sensor is analyzed based on TiO2 sensing layer and modified electrode dimensions. The sensitivity of the gas sensor depends upon the type of sensing layer used and active surface area obtained by varying the aspect ratio. The performance of the sensor is observed from 0.1ppm to 100ppm concentration of ...

The new Conditions for Coverage1 clearly establish the importance of patients directing and participating in their own dialysis care. First, the Conditions mandate the establishment of an interdisciplinary team (IDT) with the “patient, or the patient’s designee” as a participating member. (§ 494.80). Next, the Conditions place responsibility for patient assessment (§ 494.80) and patient care pl...

Action recognition, aiming to automatically classify actions from a series of observations, has attracted more attention in the computer vision community. The state-of-the-art action recognition methods utilize dense sampled trajectories to build feature representations. However, their performances are limited due to action region clutters and camera motions in real world applications. No matte...

We report our results on the THUMOS Challenge 2014 Action Recognition Task. Given an untrimmed video as input, our method recognizes its major action category in four main steps: (1) detect shot boundaries within the video; (2) decode pre-computed indices of iDTFs within each shot; (3) encode the recovered iDTFs into shot-wise fisher vectors and compute the shot-to-category classification score...

The paper proposes a novel methodology using the classification technique called Identification tree (IDT) to diagnose pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) computationally. It uses an exhaustive list of parameters by integrating the results of different medical examinations that are used conventionally. The model reduces the number of parameters required for the diagnosis from 45 to 19. It also offers a...
