In this paper we present the idea of Exer-learning games integrating the element of exercise into serious games. The combination of motion, learning and playing is assumed to facilitate intrinsic motivation and learning achievements. For the application of exer-learning games, the concept of HOPSCOTCH is introduced that is inspired by the popular childrens game. Two demonstrators of this concep...

We introduce the study of potentially eventually exponentially positive (PEEP) sign patterns and establish several results using the connections between these sign patterns and the potentially eventually positive (PEP) sign patterns. It is shown that the problem of characterizing PEEP sign patterns is not equivalent to that of characterizing PEP sign patterns. A characterization of all 2× 2 and...

Abstract This research has aimed to examine the feedback effects between economic growth and environmental degradation through health that is one of human capital elements and also the consequences of such these relationships on economic convergence process during the period 1990-2013 for 60 developing countries in framework of simultaneous equations model by using unbalanced panel data analysi...

In this paper we establish limsup results and a generalized uniform law of the iterated logarithm (LIL) for the increments of partial sums of strictly stationary and linearly positive quadrant dependent (LPQD) or linearly negative quadrant dependent (LNQD) random sequences.

Innovation is the means and sustainability is objective (or idea). Innovation services on sustainability and sustainability guides innovation. Both are cause-and-effect, form the positive feedback mechanism, and form a virtuous cycle, thus make both mutual promotion and common development and evolution. The key is the positive feedback mechanism formed between innovation and sustainability. Bas...

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of verbal feedback on the explosive upper-body performance of well-trained rugby union athletes in a resistance training session. Athletes (n = 9) completed two sessions of bench-throws with peak velocity feedback after each repetition, and two identical sessions without feedback. Within each session, three sets of four repetitions of bench...

In this paper, we propose a model for dynamic task selection based on an evolving threshold mechanism. The threshold evolves based on statistical reinforcement with experience the agent gets from positive and negative feedback. This gives a model where the task selection is tightly coupled with the real success of the tasks and with the perceptions of the agent in the form of stimuli. An exampl...
