Most computer marking systems evaluate the results of the answers reached by learners without looking into the process by which the answers are produced, which will be insufficient to ascertain learners’ understanding level because correct answers may well include lucky hunches, namely accidentally correct but not confident answers. In order to differentiate these lucky answers from confident c...

"Supersti+Tech" is a compound word of "Superstition" and "Technology". The purpose of this project is to reinterpret superstition with new media devices through which juxtaposes and combines various paradoxical concepts such as irrational versus rational, fiction versus fact, and virtual versus real. The outcome of this project displays three interactive installations which use computer process...

Adaptive optics (AO) has greatly improved retinal image resolution. However, even with AO, temporal and spatial variations in image quality still occur due to wavefront fluctuations, intra-frame focus shifts and other factors. As a result, aligning and averaging images can produce a mean image that has lower resolution or contrast than the best images within a sequence. To address this, we prop...

the distribution behavior of ofloxacin enantiomers was examined in the aqueous and organic solvent of a two-phase system containing chiral selector l-tartarate. the effect of extraction equilibrium time, buffer ph, organic solvents and length of alkyl chain of l-tartarate on the partition coefficients and enantioselectivity of racemic ofloxacin were investigated, respectively. the l-tartarate f...

Obtaining diffraction limited astronomical images using ground-based telescopes and sensors operating at optical wavelengths is currently not possible due to the effects of atmospheric turbulence. Adaptive optics is a mature technology that attempts to minimise the effects of atmospheric turbulence through wavefront detection and optical path correction in real-time. Our work involves the acqui...

Suppose we organise a golf tournament in which 100 people play a round. Is the score of the tournament winner a reasonable estimate of his future scores? If the field consists of players of similar abilities, then the winner is likely to be one of the better players, but he will also have to be lucky on the day. The winner's score is likely to be above his personal average, for if he had not be...
