E-discussion tools provide students with the opportunity not only to learn about the topic under discussion but to acquire argumentation and collaboration skills and to engage in analytic thinking. However, too often, ediscussions are not fruitful and moderation is needed. We describe our approach, which employs intelligent data analysis techniques, to support teachers as they moderate multiple...

the akhal-teke is an ancient horse originat-ing from asia where it was used by nomadic tribes and used as a warhorse. lameness examinations require proper interpretation of clinical and radiographic findings. therefore, understanding of normal radiographic findings of the foot is necessary. although the radiographic appearance of the normal foot must be understood to recognize abnormalities ,th...

Coarazuphium caatinga sp. n. occurs in limestone caves located in Campo Formoso municipality, in the Brazilian Caatinga (Bahia, Brazil). The new species is close to C. formoso although they are morphologically distinct by the elytra sinuosity, which is more pronounced in C. caatinga; the aedeagus is more tapered at the tip in this last species. Important traits found in C. caatinga are the vari...

In this paper, a novel approach, Inforence, is proposed to isolate the suspicious codes that likely contain faults. Inforence employs a feature selection method, based on mutual information, to identify those bug-related statements that may cause the program to fail. Because the majority of a program faults may be revealed as undesired joint effect of the program statements on each other and on...

We have constructed a poker classification system which makes informed betting decisions based upon three defining features extracted while playing poker: hand value, risk, and aggressiveness. The system is implemented as a poker player agent, and as such, the goals of the classifier are not only to correctly determine whether each hand should be folded, called, or raised, but to win as many ch...

in this study we investigate voice productions of normal speakers and patients with varying vocal fold adduction deficiencies using a noninvasive method to measure spatial vibrations of the larynx. the current version accv4 of our acceleration sensor device was used. The study’s primary goal is to find out whether lesions of vocal folds lead to additional spatial vibration modes compared to a n...

In this paper, I will show and describe a method of integrating infrared images with 3D model the front an excavation in longwall type workings. also test created for its potential usefulness geological prospecting, used looking changes layout at excavation. Geological information on amount coal is important economic side The mine does not want to take out waste rock, but mostly safety operatio...

Biological responses often obey Weber's law, according to which the magnitude of the response depends only on the fold change in the external input. In this study, we demonstrate that a system involving a simple autocatalytic reaction shows such a response when a chemical is slowly synthesized by the reaction from a faster influx process. We also show that an autocatalytic reaction process occu...
