This paper describes the evaluation of the effects of the Mathematics and Science Computer Assisted Remedial Teaching (MASCART) software on students from the Pre-Entry Science Course at the University of Botswana. A general significant improvement of basic algebra knowledge and skills could be measured, demonstrating that the combination of increased time on task and computer-assisted remedial ...

Remedial alternatives for arsenic impacted ground water at a former insecticide manufacturing facility are developed and analyzed in this thesis. Five remedial technologies are evaluated, including conventional pump and treat, monitored natural attenuation, soil flushing, electrokinetics, and in-situ fixation. Twelve case studies of arsenic impacted sites are developed from telephone interviews...

In recent years, the demand for computer programming professionals has increased rapidly. These computer engineers not only play a key role in the national development of the computing and software industries, they also have a significant influence on the broader national knowledge industry. Therefore, one of the objectives of information education in Taiwan is to cultivate elite talents specia...

Including ocean noise in marine spatial planning requires predictions of noise levels on large spatiotemporal scales. Based on a simple sound transmission model and ship track data (Automatic Identification System, AIS), cumulative underwater acoustic energy from shipping was mapped throughout 2008 in the west Canadian Exclusive Economic Zone, showing high noise levels in critical habitats for ...

BACKGROUND Little is known about the views of faculty members who train medical students concerning open disclosure. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were to determine the views of faculty in a medical school on: 1 what constitutes a medical error and the severity of such an error in relation to medication use or diagnosis; 2 information giving following such an adverse event, based on...

Abstract: A fault-tolerant permanent-magnet vernier (FT-PMV) machine incorporates the merits of high fault-tolerant capability and high torque density. In this paper, a new remedial control is proposed for a five-phase FT-PMV machine with short-circuit fault of stator windings. Based on the principle of copper loss minimization, the aims of the proposed control strategy are to keep magnetic mot...

Cryptography is one the most important areas of the computer networks. Encryption and Decryption allows an application to secure its data from being accessed by hackers. This paper presents a new proposed solution in RSA (Rivest, Shamir and Adleman). Many of its characteristics (applications domain, performance and implementation structure) are similar to those of common RSA algorithm. These pr...

A computer-aided blast design collsultanL system has been developed. The software consists of two modules: one uses theoretical and empirical formulae and procedures to design a blast based on user supplied geological Hnd mechanical data, while the other is an expert syslem that analY7.es blast vibration problems and recom mends remedial action using k.nowledge based rules. The system is curren...

In this study, a computerized dynamic assessment test with both immediately individualized feedback and adaptively property was applied to Mathematics learning in primary school. For evaluating the effectiveness of the computerized dynamic adaptive test, the performances of three types of remedial instructions were compared by a pre-test/post-test nonequivalent group design. These remedial inst...

Redundant flux-switching permanent-magnet (R-FSPM) motor is a new fault-tolerant machine having PMs in the stator, offering high efficiency, high reliability, and robust structure. This paper proposes two remedial control strategies for fault-tolerant operations of the R-FSPM motor drive in the single-channel (SC) mode. First, by doubling the healthy-channel currents, the reduced torque due to ...
