Involvement Load Hypothesis (ILH) and Technique Feature Analysis (TFA) are two frameworks which operationalize depth of processing of a vocabulary learning task. However, there is dearth of research comparing the predictive power of the ILH and the TFA across second language (L2) vocabulary learning tasks. The present study, therefore, aimed to examine this issue across four vocabulary learning...

Received Nov 21, 2017 Revised Jan 29, 2018 Accepted Feb 17, 2018 Our paper aim is to design a reprogrammable smart payment card that replaces all other cards in the wallet assembled using an ultra-low power epaper display, Bluetooth Communication, capacitive touch sensor and NFC. The controllers used in this project based on ARM Cortex-M architecture. The main advantage of this paper is the car...

Banks want to use their genuine strong credential for online banking transaction authorization the debit card. Customers nowadays are usually equipped with a Smartphone and prefer to not carry a card reader in addition. Methods where developed that use the Smartphone to authorize online banking transactions. These methods are vulnerable to Smartphone malware. We present NFC-TAN as a Smartphone ...

Through readings and assignments, you will gain self-awareness, knowledge, and practice that can help you manage money wisely. By the end of the course, you will be able to:  describe your financial influences and values  use an income and spending log  develop a budget  identify opportunities to reduce spending  critically read credit card offers and credit reports  consider costs and be...

This innovative door lock system is designed to make it easier control security in certain homes or rooms. can also be used government offices and factories restrict someone from entering a room that just anyone not enter. In this system, the automatic uses an ID-12 type RFID reader, Tag/Transponder, Arduino UNO R3, 5v Buzzer, Drop Bolt Lock, Relay Module, LCD. The reader as receiver, tag/trans...

We propose a public-key authentication and encryption application that secures the messages between Tap-Card-Pay application, Tap-Card-Pay Systems Corporation, customers, and merchants allowing the customer to complete transactions without requiring the customer to input sensitive information. With authentication and encryption, the application transfers the credit card information from the sma...

Head direction cells, which are functionally coupled to 'place' cells of the hippocampus, a structure critically involved in spatial cognition, are likely neural substrates for the sense of direction. Here we studied the mechanism by which head direction cells are principally anchored to background visual cues [M.B. Zugaro et al. (2001) J. Neurosci., 21, RC154,1-5]. Anterodorsal thalamic head d...

This study examined the performance of spatial problems by rats when purely behavioral manipulations disturb the relationship between the place cell representation and the cues used to solve the problems. Place cells were recorded while rats performed a task in which they had to locate a goal in a gray cylinder. In the "far" task, the unmarked goal was displaced by a large fixed distance from a...

Recent roll-outs of contactless payment infrastructures – particularly in Austria and Germany – have raised concerns about the security of contactless payment cards and Near Field Communication (NFC). There are well-known attack scenarios like relay attacks and skimming of credit card numbers. However, banks and credit card schemes often mitigate these attacks. They explain that attacks are imp...
