This paper presents an educational system that incorporates two theories namely SAW and OCC in order to provide an improved affective e-learning environment. Simple additive Weighting (SAW) is used for the recognition of possible emotional states of the users, while the cognitive theory of emotions (OCC) is used for the generation of emotional states by educational agents. The system bases its ...

The dictionary matching is a task to find all occurrences of pattern strings in a set D (called a dictionary) on a text string T . The Aho-Corasick-automaton (AC-automaton) which is built on D is a fundamental data structure which enables us to solve the dictionary matching problem in O(d log σ) preprocessing time and O(n log σ + occ) matching time, where d is the total length of the patterns i...

Abstract Detachment faulting is one of the main styles seafloor spreading at slow to intermediate mid-ocean ridges. However, we have limited insight into its role in back-arc basin formation. We surveyed a remnant center Philippine Sea and determined detailed features formation processes Mado Megamullion (Mado MM) oceanic core complex (OCC). This was undertaken context evolution, based on shipb...

The LZ-index is a compressed full-text self-index able to represent a text T1...u, over an alphabet of size σ = O(polylog(u)) and with k-th order empirical entropy Hk(T ), using 4uHk(T )+ o(u logσ) bits for any k = o(logσ u). It can report all the occ occurrences of a pattern P1...m in T in O(m3 logσ +(m + occ) log u) worst case time. Its main drawback is the factor 4 in its space complexity, w...

This paper applies integrated system modeling and control design process to a continuously variable valve timing (VVT) actuator system that has different control input and cam position feedback sample rates. Due to high cam shaft torque disturbance and high actuator open-loop gain, it is also difficult to maintain the cam phase at the desired constant level with an open-loop controller for syst...

In the online dictionary matching problem the goal is to preprocess a set of patterns D = {P1, . . . , Pd} over alphabet Σ, so that given an online text (one character at a time) we report all of the occurrences of patterns that are a suffix of the current text before the following character arrives. We introduce a succinct Aho-Corasick like data structure for the online dictionary matching pro...

Renewable energy, such as solar energy, is desirable for power generation due to their unlimited existence and environmental friendly nature. Reforming of the electricity sector along with various renewable energy promotion policies has increased the importance of small grid connected photovoltaic (PV) systems utilizing single stage single phase inverters. This paper proposes a single-stage inv...

We consider bounded occurrence (degree) instances of a minimum constraint satisfaction problem MIN-LIN2 and a MIN-BISECTION problem for graphs. MIN-LIN2 is an optimization problem for a given system of linear equations mod 2 to construct a solution that sat-isses the minimum number of them. E3-OCC-MIN-E3-LIN2 is the bounded occurrence (degree) problem restricted as follows: each equation has ex...

Metaboreceptors can modulate cutaneous blood flow and sweating during heat stress but the mechanisms remain unknown. Fourteen participants (31 ± 13 years) performed 1-min bout of isometric handgrip (IHG) exercise at 60% of their maximal voluntary contraction followed by a 3-min occlusion (OCC), each separated by 10 min, initially under low (LHS, to activate sweating without changes in core temp...

Motivated by the imminent growth of massive, highly redundant genomic databases, we study the problem of compressing a string database while simultaneously supporting fast random access, substring extraction and pattern matching to the underlying string(s). Bille et al. (2011) recently showed how, given a straight-line program with r rules for a string s of length n, we can build an O(r)-word d...
