Background Since 1982 many student-centred physical education teaching approaches have been proposed as viable alternatives to the traditional teacher-centred methodology. However, research indicates that their uptake by practitioners has limited. This is concerning, particularly given prominence of alternative within PETE courses worldwide. For students, implementing an approach on school prof...

The present study examined the use of an instructional workshop for training educators to conduct functional analyses. Results indicated that 2 of 3 participants met the accuracy criterion following group training, whereas 1 participant required direct verbal feedback. During generalization probes, one participant accurately conducted sessions with a student in her classroom.

The benefits of Markov-based predictive prefetching have been largely overshadowed by the overhead required to produce high quality predictions. While both theoretical and simulation results for prediction algorithms appear promising, substantial limitations exist in practice. This outcome can be partially attributed to the fact that practical implementations ultimately make compromises in orde...

We ask whether players of a classical game can partition a pure quantum state to implement classical correlated equilibrium distributions. The main contribution of this work is an impossibility result: we provide an example of a classical correlated equilibrium that cannot be securely implemented without useful information leaking outside the system. We study the model where players of a classi...

The maintenance of organisation is a prerequisite for all viable systems in dynamic environments. In many living systems this organisation is, in part, achieved through coordination systems such as the nervous or endocrinic systems that can be seen as separate from the functional systems they coordinate. As software systems become more open and complex, the definition of separate organisational...

Experience Based Learning (EBL) is a process in which real world problems are used to help and motivate students to identify, apply, collaborate and communicate their knowledge effectively. However, implementation of EBL requires substantial effort on the part of teacher involving new teaching strategies and significant course restructuring. Also, coming up with suitable problems and solutions ...

The general, linear eigenvalue equations (H XM)z = 0, where H and M are real symmetric matrices with M positive semidefimte, must be transformed if the Lanczos algorithm is to be used to compute eigenpairs (X,z). When the matrices are large and sparse (but not diagonal) some factorization must be performed as part of the transformation step. If we are interested in only a few eigenvalues a near...

In this paper, smart antennas are antenna array use to empathize spatial signal such as DOA of the signal and used to find beamforming vectors and locate the antenna ray in the desired direction of target. Beam formed adaptive algorithms allow the antenna to steer the beam in desired direction of interest while cancelling the obtrusive signals. The prompt growth of smart antenna makes use of di...
