While the field of educational data mining (EDM) has generated many innovations for improving educational software and student learning, the mining of student data has recently come under a great deal of scrutiny. Many stakeholder groups, including public officials, media outlets, and parents, have voiced concern over the privacy of student data and their efforts have garnered national attentio...

Searches for permanent electric-dipole moments (EDM) of atoms provide important constraints on competing extensions to the standard model of elementary particles. Recently proposed experiment with liquid 129Xe [M.V. Romalis and M.P. Ledbetter, Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 067601 (2001)] may significantly improve present limits on the EDMs. To interpret experimental data in terms of CP-violating sources...

This work investigates the machining characteristics of American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) D2 tool steel with copper as a tool electrode during electrical discharge machining (EDM) process. The multi wall carbon nano tube (MWCNT) is mixed with dielectric fluids in EDM process to analyze the surface characteristics of surface roughness. Regression model were developed to predict the surfac...

In a crystallographic experiment, a protein is precipitated to obtain a crystalline sample (crystal) containing many copies of the molecule. An electron density map (edm) is calculated from diffraction images obtained from focusing X-rays through the sample at different angles. This involves iterative phase determination and density calculation. The protein conformation is modeled by placing th...

The paper considers whether ‘fair share capitalism’ improves workplace productivity. ‘Fair share capitalism’ (FSC) is a generic term for the financial mechanism that links employees’ pay to group or company performance. The traditional rationale for FSC is that where employers find it difficult or costly to monitor inputs they will choose to pay for outputs. FSC can then be used to align worker...

The safety and environmental aspects of a manufacturing process are important due to increased environmental regulations and life quality. In this paper, the concentration of aerosols in the breathing zone of the operator of Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM), a commonly used non traditional manufacturing process is presented. The pattern of aerosol emissions from this process with varying pr...

This paper aims to provide the reader with a comprehensive background for understanding current knowledge on Learning Analytics (LA) and Educational Data Mining (EDM) and its impact on adaptive learning. It constitutes an overview of empirical evidence behind key objectives of the potential adoption of LA/EDM in generic educational strategic planning. We examined the literature on experimental ...

Choosing an option increases a person's preference for that option. This phenomenon, called choice-based learning (CBL), has been investigated separately in the contexts of internally guided decision-making (IDM, e.g., preference judgment), for which no objectively correct answer exists, and externally guided decision making (EDM, e.g., perceptual decision making), for which one objectively cor...

An important part of electronic dance music (EDM) is the so-called beat. It is defined by the drum track of the piece and is a style defining element. While producing EDM, creating the drum track tends to be delicate, yet labor intensive work. In this work we present a touch-interface-based prototype with the goal to simplify this task. The prototype aims at supporting musicians to create rhyth...
