The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate the video on demand learning system. This study integrated the thematic instructional strategy into interactive video-based instruction based on the cognitive theory of multimedia learning and investigated the participant’s reflection and learning performance through post-test, IMMS and the experimental teaching activities. Under the self-co...

According  to  a  basic  prediction  made  by  the  Revised  Hierarchical  Model  (RHM),  at  early  stages  of language  acquisition,  strong  L2-L1  lexical  links  are  formed.  RHM  predicts  that  these  links  weaken with  increasing  proficiency,  although  they  do  not  disappear  even  at  higher  levels  of  language development. To test this prediction, two groups of highly proficie...

We present a methodology for automatically constructing structural hyperlinks for navigation and retrieval in large corpora. A structural hyperlink connects components of a document that have specified structural properties with word-based content similarity. Our approach enables queries that may be posed in terms of keywords, as well as structural segments such as definitions, figures, etc.

Visualization with a hierarchy of mathematical knowledge structure, assist learners in understanding mathematics. We are developing a method which constructs a hierarchy of mathematical knowledge by using hyperlink analysis in our mathematics e-learning site. Hierarchy is calculated by an adjacency matrix. 

The case of Eldred v. Ashcroft focused the public’s attention on the question of the duration of a copyright owner’s right. An even more compelling problem is raised by the scope of the property right associated with copyright. Statutorily, the copyright owner is granted the exclusive rights of reproduction, distribution, adaptation, public performance, and public display subject to the doctrin...

BACKGROUND Highlighted text in the Internet (i.e., hypertext) is predominantly blue and underlined. The perceptibility of these hypertext characteristics was heavily questioned by applied research and empirical tests resulted in inconclusive results. The ability to recognize blue text in foveal and parafoveal vision was identified as potentially constrained by the low number of foveally centere...

Understanding the users' interest is the base for the industralization of website. In order to provide individualized service better for the users, on the basis of analyzing the users' browse behavioral characteristics and according to the users' retention time in the page, and users' click frequency to the hyperlink and page, a model of computer user interest degree is established, and a neutr...

Wireless network on chip (WiNoC) is one of the promising on-chip interconnection networks for on-chip system architectures. In addition to wired links, these architectures also use wireless links. Using these wireless links makes packets reach destination nodes faster and with less power consumption. These wireless links are provided by wireless interfaces in wireless routers. The WiNoC archite...

Network location models comprise one of the main categories of location models. These models have various applications in regional and urban planning as well as in transportation, distribution, and energy management. In a network location problem, nodes represent demand points and candidate locations to locate the facilities. If the links network is unchangeably determined, the problem will be ...
