The safety aspect of a domain of knowledge, the outcome of interactions between the linguistic, ethical and legal aspects of that domain, is the product of a cross-disciplinary enterprise; safety-critical systems, like energy generation and distribution systems, air-traffic control systems, are the artefacts of safety-aware communities. Such communities, made up of scientists, engineers, end-us...

Through a survey of several computer-based learning environments and the methods under the title "metacognition", we recognize there are various concepts called "metacognition", and lack of common vocabulary and a system of concepts to represent cognitive and/or metacognitive phenomena. We propose a double-loop model of metacognitive activities as our criterion to distinguish metacognitive acti...

In conventional single feedback control, the corrective action for disturbances does not begin until the controlled variable deviates from the set point. In this case, a cascade control strategy can be used to improve the performance of a control system particularly in the presence of disturbances. In this paper, an improved cascade control structure and controller design based on Standard form...

This paper describes an approach to SKOS vocabulary mapping that takes into account the context in which vocabulary terms are used in annotations. The standard vocabulary mapping properties in SKOS only allow for binary mappings between concepts. In the BestMap ontology, annotated resources are the contexts in which annotations coincide and allow for a more fine grained control over when mappin...

The research explored the effect of morphemic analysis awareness on ESL secondary school students’ vocabulary acquisition. The quasi-experimental study was conducted with 100 ESL secondary school students in two experimental groups (inflectional and derivational) and one control group. The students’ vocabulary acquisition was assessed through two measures: Morph-Analysis Test and Morph-Vocabula...

Using design patterns is a widely accepted method to improve software development. There are many benefits of the application of patterns claimed in the literature. The most cited claim is that design patterns can provide a common design vocabulary and therefore improve greatly communication between software designers. Most of the claims are supported by experiences reports of practitioners, bu...
