BACKGROUND A reading chart that resembles real reading conditions is important to evaluate the quality of life in terms of reading performance. The purpose of this study was to compare the reading speed of UiTM Malay related words (UiTM-Mrw) reading chart with MNread Acuity Chart and Colenbrander Reading Chart. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty subjects with normal sight were randomly recruited thr...

This paper presents the results of converting a standard Greham/Harrison/Ruzzo (GHR) parser for a unification grammar into an agenda-driven parsing system. The agenda is controlled by statistical measures of grammar-rule likelihood obtained from a training set. The techniques in the agenda parser lead to substantial reductions in chart size and parse time, and can be applied to any chart-based ...

E-learning provides a convenient and efficient way for learning. Formative assessment not only guides student in instruction and learning, diagnose skill or knowledge gaps, but also measures progress and evaluation. An efficient and convenient e-learning formative assessment system is the key character for e-learning. However, most e-learning systems didn’t provide methods for assessing learner...

Some quality control schemes have been developed when several related quality characteristics are to be monitored. The familiar multivariate process monitoring and control procedure is the Hotelling’s T 2 control chart for monitoring the mean vector of the process. It is a direct analog of the univariate shewhart x̄ chart. As in the case of univariate, the ARL improvements are very important par...
