Extending Information On Museum Artefacts Through Augmented Reality: Indonesian National Museum Case

Jakarta has 62 well-maintained museums but most are still conventional in the way that they mostly display objects or collections with accompanying written information and interactive media is still very limited.[1] In Indonesia, museum curators and managers need to be more creative in presenting objects and information to increase the number of visitors [2].The difficulty of luring visitors to museums has even became a national issue and problem:[1] the Indonesian government considers it as a matter that needs to be addressed. [3, 4] In 2010, the Association of Museums in Indonesia (AMI) and the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy declared it the Year of Visiting the Museum [5] as part of the National Movement to Love Museums, which lasted until 2014 [1]. The strategic efforts from the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy were then followed up with the introduction of national programs such as Revitalizing Indonesian Museum [5]. Museums should be a place to enhance the learning experience, sharing knowledge, as well as a place to study and conduct research [5]. Here, the museum is required not only as a means of public learning, but must also be able to support the development of study centers in universities [5]. Therefore, adding interactive media using Augmented Reality to Indonesian museums will increase the interest in learning about the local culture and heritage of Indonesia among the Indonesian population, especially students.
Providing Access To Locally Generated Databases Over The Web

The Grainger Engineering Library at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has implemented Web-based access to locally developed information resources using the Microsoft (MS) Active Server Pages (ASP) technologies.These local databases, in both MS Access and MS Structured Query Language (SQL) Server format, complement traditional engineering information resources.The databases provide enhanced access to difficult to locate materials and resources that are outside the scope of an online catalog and article databases.The local databases are accessible for any Web user from the top-level menu at Grainger public terminals, from a custom reference desk menu, and from the Grainger Home Page (http://www.library.uiuc.edu/grainger/).These databases have greatly improved the training of reference staff, particularly new graduate assistants, librarians and paraprofessionals.From December 1997 through February 1, 2000, the Grainger local databases have been selected 26,067 times, which makes up approximately 24% of the over 107,000 selections from public terminal main menus.This paper describes how these resources are developed and the improvements that Web technologies have offered.

Image Processing and Math Courses

This paper demonstrates the importance of high school level algebra and trigonometry in solving image processing problems.The detection of lines and curves in an image is a fundamental problem in image processing.The problem is often solved by using the polar coordinate system.In the simplest case, the picture contains a number of discrete black points lying on a white background.The goal is to detect the presence of groups of collinear figure points.In this paper, the use of basic math such as the polar coordinate system, for line detection in an image was described.In these algorithms both mesh and tree connections of processors were exploited. 1-IntroductionParallel computing for image processing has recently received considerable attentions 1,3,10,13 .Technological advances have made the design of fine-grain architectures possible and many practical algorithms have been implemented.Line detection by the Hough Transform 1 method is a powerful tool in shape analysis.It extracts global features from images; however, because of its computational complexity, it is not easily implemented in real-time for some applications.One approach for achieving real-time implementation of the Hough Transform is by parallel processing.Various configurations have been suggested for parallel implementation of the Hough Transform.A Hough Transform algorithm on a fine-grain SIMD machine with broadcasting capability has been proposed by Ibrahim 6 .Recently several efforts have been made to speed up the computation of the Hough Transform by utilizing parallelism.An O(k√n) time Hough Transform algorithm for n pixels is given by Silberberg 12 more efficient Hough Transform algorithms with O(k + √n) time complexity have been suggested 12 .Algorithms on mesh connected arrays have been described by Kannan and Chuang 8 .An algorithm for the Hough Transform calculation on a linear array has been considered by Fisher and Highnam 5 , but because of the communication latency between remote processors it takes as much as the serial version of the algorithm to complete.Blanford explains a generalized Hough Transform 1 ; the method is similar to the standard Hough Transform except that the image is divided into circular, parabolic, or elliptical bands, as opposed to straight lines.Little et al. 9 described a possible implementation of the Hough Transform on the Connection Machine.
Problem Set Zero

Problem Set ZeroWhat these students were good at…was feeding back correct answers: they had mastered the arts of short-term memory and recall.The whole class was a wonderful example of what the British call "surface learning."But very little "deep learning"-which comes with time, depth, practice, and reinforcementseems to have occurred. 1is section of a keynote address by Theodore J. Marchese at the 1998 conference of the American Association for Higher Education gets right to the heart of a problem many educators face: which teaching techniques can encourage students to master course content.As professional engineers, we understand that our students' success in the professional practice of engineering is contingent on their ability to remember and apply critical skills years after they learned them in school.As professional educators, our success in teaching these skills in the classroom is contingent on the students' ability to remember and apply critical skills months after they learned them in the classroom.Clearly the former does not occur without the latter, and the latter, according to Marchese and others, is an elusive goal.This paper explains a technique developed and implemented by several Civil Engineering faculty members teaching structural mechanics, analysis, and design at the United States Military Academy in the Spring, 2009 and the Fall, 2009 terms to encourage mastery of critical skills and transfer of these skills to subsequent courses.The concept is called "Problem Set Zero" to stress the fact that the material being evaluated is from the prior course(s) and must be mastered before a student begins Problem Set One.
Secure Auditing and De-duplicating Data in Cloud

As the dispersed registering development makes during the latest decade, re-appropriating data to cloud organization for limit transforms into an engaging example, which benefits in sparing undertakings on generous data support and the board. In any case, since the redistributed distributed storage is not completely reliable, it raises the security worries on the best way to acknowledge information de-duplication in cloud while accomplishing trustworthiness evaluating. Right now, study the issue of uprightness reviewing and make sure about de-duplication on the cloud information. In particular, targeting accomplishing the two info honesty and the de-duplication in the cloud, we propose some two secure frame works, to be specific sec-cloud and sec-cloud+. sec-cloudhelps in presents a reviewing element with most upkeep of the Map-Reduce cloud, which assists customers with producing information about labels before the transferring just as review the trustworthiness of information having been just put away in cloud. The Contrasted and past work, the calculation by the client in Sec-Cloud is extraordinarily decreased during the record transferring and reviewing stages. Sec-Cloud is planned propelled by the way that clients consistently need to scramble their information before transferring, and empowers trustworthiness inspecting and make sure about de-duplication on encoded information.
THE USE OF VOCABULARY SELF-COLLECTION (VSS) STRATEGY IN INCREASING STUDENT READING COMPREHENSION

Lack of vocabulary became a problem on student reading comprehension. This condition brings the writers to solve student’s problem by applying of vocabulary self-collection strategy. Several researchers conducted the effect of vocabulary self-collection in teaching language learning. The results showed that this strategy is effective to help students in language learning. Therefore, writers intrigued to apply this strategy. Vocabulary self-collection strategy is an interactive-learning instructional strategy that shows the word consciousness To implement this strategy, the writers used Classroom Action Research. It took four steps proposed by Kemmis and Taggart, Planning, action, observation and reflection. This research took 36 students in Mas Al Ulum Medan. Based on the two cycles, it can be proved that the mean score is higher in the second cycle. The mean score of first cycle was 65,7 %. Furthermore, it was categorized as the criteria of not success in test reading. If we compare to the diagnose test before, it seem the significant differences among of them. Moreover, the use of vocabulary self-collection strategy is not only increase student reading comprehension but also student’s curiosity and interesting in reading of English text. It can be seen from the observation had been done by the researcher and collaborator during the application of this strategy. They looked more active than before. The student enjoyed this strategy because it can help them in reading and memorizing of the word. Therefore, the application of this vocabulary self-collection can be recommended to improve students in reading skill. Furthermore, the result also suggest to teachers, lecturers or other educators to attempt this strategy in supporting of language learning. Because of this strategy is usable to improve student ability in English skill and student’s interest in learning English.

Student Teams: A Simulation or a Real Team Experience?

The tradition in engineering education places students in teams during their senior year; likely as part of a capstone laboratory or design course.In most cases teams were done on a "pick your own partners" basis.Furthermore, no time was spent discussing teamwork, the importance of teams, how teams should be structured or the skill set one needs to be an effective team member.To some extent, changes made by ABET to their accreditation criteria in 2000 have forced the engineering community to at least assess student teamwork.This, in turn, has motivated many to take a serious look at teamwork training as part of what they teach.How to structure and provide real team experiences for students as part of the academic course of study is a subject of great importance.What do students know about teamwork coming in?What is their perception of the course-based team experience?Why are student teams frequently dysfunctional?Are course-based teams only a simulation or are they in actuality teams?These and other questions have been explored along with ways to enable effective team-based learning experiences that indeed help students grow as team members.* World of Warcraft is a fantasy video game involving warfare.
Development Of A Web Based Environmental Impact, Monitoring And Assessment Course

The information revolution has had a dramatic effect on engineering education in the 1990's.Educators and students alike have witnessed a dramatic shift from traditional teaching methods and tools to a new, innovative, interactive approach.What began as the simple use of computers and information technology for student projects has developed into the large scale use of computer software demonstrations, multimedia lecture presentations, World Wide Web and online course materials, and educational materials placed on CD-ROM.This paper addresses one ongoing effort to develop World Wide Web and multimedia educational materials for courses in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology.This specific project reported here is the development of a Web-based environmental impact assessment course.Many different types of educational materials for the course are being provided to students via the World Wide Web.These materials include: course readings, on-line government regulations and documents, public domain computer models and hands-on modeling assignments, case studies, research paper assignments, and midterm and final examinations.Additionally, lecture overheads and instructor's notes, prepared in Microsoft PowerPoint, are provided over the Web for use as speaking notes in the classroom.This paper outlines the integration of computer technology in the classroom and the development of the electronic version of the syllabus and course readings.

Teach and Assess an Instrumentation and Control Class for Electronics Technology Students

McNeese State University is located in the Gulf of Mexico corridor between Houston and New Orleans.The majority of electronics graduates from the Department of Engineering Technology will find their careers in local process plants together with our process technology and instrumentation graduates.The department investigation found out that a lot of electronics students are assigned jobs of instrumentation while being electricians at the same time.Traditionally, electronics students take electronic classes such as circuit analysis, solidstate devices, amplifiers, computer networking etc.There is a gap between their knowledge to the real-world application in these process plants.To meet the industrial needs, the department designed our curriculum this way: for electronics students, the focus will be the above-mentioned electronics classes, and add instrumentation classes INST 333 as a mandatory class and INST 304 as an elective one.This paper presents the courseware and the assessment for the course INST 333: Instrumentation Overview.This course teaches electronics students with the knowledge of control system and instrumentation through the following work: 1) Realizing that the current technology trend is that technicians work more with systems, sub-systems, software, modules, PC boards and so forth, and work less with components and circuits, so in teaching we seek the connection between the functions of the sub-system instead of putting too much emphasis on the internal structure of components, which they've had some learning in each specific course.2) Stress how different basic electronic circuits are put together to make instrumentation, and 3) Teach what performance each electronic component needs to make in order to build a successful control system.At last the assessment method and the result of six years' teaching is given.
Server-aided Public Key Signatures for Diverse Network Devices

One of the main challenges of securing effective computation in diverse network devices tends to be a limitation of their computational power. Server assisted signature scheme was recently presented as nonrepudiation service for mobile and constrained devices. They all tend to have a feature in common: limited computational capabilities and equally limited power (as most operate on batteries). The scheme suffered with high storage requirements and memory requirements for the mobile clients. This makes them ill-suited for public key signatures. This paper examines practical and conceptual implications of using Server-Aided Signatures (SAS) for these devices. SAS is a signature method that relies on partially-trusted servers for generating (normally expensive) public key signatures for regular users. Although the primary goal is to aid small, resource- limited devices in signature generation, SAS also fast certificate revocation, signature causality and with reliable timestamping.&#x0D; Keywords: Public key infrastructure; Digital signature; Certificate authority.
Faculty Usage of Cloud Computing: The Capabilities and Risks

Within the computer science arena, cloud computing has become a major topic of interest.Major computing corporations tout the advantages of such systems, including high reliability, scalability, remote availability, and other advantages.Major industries employ these types of systems in their daily business.In the academic arena, cloud computing usage, aside from basic e-mail and web hosting, has been slower to develop.Some universities have outsourced email management and other limited administrative services.Outside of this area, the usage of cloud computing has generally been limited to individual faculty members using remote services.However, with the rapid escalation in cloud computing service availability, this is certain to change.This is not, however, without risk, both at an institutional and individual level.This article addresses four aspects of cloud computing.First, it provides an overview of the services.Two major types of systems will be profiled, including file synchronization systems (DropBox, Ubuntu-One, etc.) and project management systems (GForge).The article will then address the impact upon an individual campus infrastructure.Beyond an IT aspect, the article will address the legal issues of using such a system, including the potential FERPA and DMCA ramifications to the institution and the faculty member.Lastly, a set of recommendations will be provided to faculty members who are interested in using cloud functionality in their teaching work.
