Topic Maps Used to Present Interrelationships in Dynamic Linear Systems

Abstract Topic Maps Used to Present Interrelationships in Dynamic Linear SystemsThe study of Linear Physical Systems is unusual among topics in Engineering in that there is arich interplay among the topics and there is no natural order in which to present the material. Weuse topic maps to emphasize these interrelationships without imposing an arbitrary hierarchy onthe material presented. For example, in terms of types of systems, mechanical systems can betaught first, or electrical. In terms of transforms, Laplace can be taught first, or Fourier, or eventhe Z-transform. There are also many relationships between topics. Examples include thetransforms mentioned previously, the different types of physical system (electrical, mechanical,thermal…), and different solution methods such as state-space and transfer functions. By theirvery nature textbooks must present, and follow, a linear path through the material, and any twotextbooks may follow very different paths. Web-based presentation of the material removes partof this problem because the material need not be presented linearly, but raises the prospect of achaotic portrayal of the subjects because HTML links are merely from text to text and have noinherent meaning.Another way to present such interrelated ideas is through the use of topic maps. Topic maps areused to represent these interrelationships using topics (concepts), associations (the relationshipsbetween topics) and occurrences (information, e.g., web pages, relating to the topics). This isdistinct from concept maps and other commonly used visual methods for organizing informationin that the ideas need not be hierarchical; for example Fourier Transforms are not a subset ofLaplace Transforms (or vice-versa) as is presented in most textbooks. In addition the topics havecertain roles in the association that give the link meaning, a clear advantage over traditionalHTML hyperlinks and other methods.We have developed a system using HTML and JavaScript and XML that allows for the authoringand graphical visualization of topic maps. When visualizing a map, a topic is selected (byclicking on it), and all related topics are displayed around it. Included in the display are theassociations and roles played by each topic in that association. Topics can also have otherinformation (occurrences in the form of HTML links, simulations…) that give explanatory detailabout the topic, including descriptions of how it is related to other, associated, topics. Whilemany textbooks (and even web-based presentations) have only short sections describing theinterrelationships between topics, this system puts the relationship at the core of the presentationof the material so students can more easily grasp why they are learning particular topics, andhow it fits into the larger context of linear systems.
Educational Discrete Time Signal Processing Toolkit

The field programmable gate array (FPGA) provides new ways for students to investigate discrete time signal processing principles.In teaching signal processing, we find that students typically lack an intuitive feel for discrete time signals.Basic topics such as sampling have subtleties that plague students.To be useful in helping students to develop such an intuition, it is important that the tools be simple and that no detail be hidden.Unlike existing software, all details must be visible in a simple yet transparent fashion.Second, students need useful tools for developing their own projects.We are developing the discrete time signal processing toolkit for a digital signal processing (DSP) course, to be useful to students learning DSP principles as well as to advanced students working on their own projects.As an introductory tool, the toolkit will allow a deductive approach where students investigate existing systems.Advanced students ready for a more inductive approach can use the toolkit in their own projects by drawing schematics or modifying example VHDL modules.Students are not expected to write code using a hardware description language, but the underlying code is always available for inspection.The toolkit is multipurpose that along with course materials provides several methods to process signals.First off, the toolkit demonstrates signal conversion, sampling, aliasing, and the importance of a reconstruction filter.Fixed point numbers are discussed and a simple IIR filter is presented.A simple structure used to perform convolution is used as a building block to construct FIR filters.The toolkit can optionally use a soft core digital signal processor.Details of the toolkit are available on the project website 1 .
Survey and Analysis of Courses on the Subject of Information Retrieval and Web Search

In this paper, we present the result of our survey and analysis of courses on the subject of information retrieval and web search offered by colleges and universities in the U.S.A. and in China.We collected the information available on the web about 40 relevant courses.We concentrate on the goals of the course, main contents covered, textbooks used, and the student programming projects.Most these courses are offered either for upper level undergraduate through entry level graduate students in the area of computer science and computer engineering or for students from the information science and linguistics science.These courses concentrate on the technical aspects of information retrieval.For example, the computer science courses mostly deal with information processing and search over the web while a linguistic or information science course may discuss more the language aspect and information science aspect.There is also a segment of courses designed for general audience who are the end users of information retrieval systems.These courses discuss more on the user interface, human factors, and social impact of the web search technologies.We believe the information presented in the paper will help design, implementation, or revision of courses on the subject of information retrieval with various target audience in mind, especially for students at the undergraduate level.
Demonstration Of Circuit Design Using Randomness, Evolution And Natural Selection

Abstract NOTE: The first page of text has been automatically extracted and included below in lieu of an abstract Demonstration of Circuit Design using Randomness, Evolution and Natural Selection Key Words: circuit design, analog filter, Darwinian circuit, evolutionary circuit, genetic circuit design, transfer function, iterative solution, student research project Prerequisite Knowledge: Basic Linear Circuit Analysis and Windows Application programming. Objective(s): 1. To explore the design of circuits using randomness and evolutionary principles; 2. To develop a tool for demonstrating the principles and for future research; 3. To demonstrate that people can create tools to perform design projects requiring knowledge more advanced than that held by the designer of the tools. Equipment and Materials (include sources if appropriate): 1. A high-end PC with Windows 2000 (or better) 2. A compiler for Visual Basic 6.0 (or better) 3. MatrixVB (MATLAB product) 4. Access to an engineering reference library (To use the tool developed by this project, only the PC is necessary) Introduction: Most analog circuit design is inherently evolutionary in that the final product is achieved through an analytical analysis to determine parameter values, build a prototype, and test the prototype for “fitness”. Results of this testing frequently indicate changes in the original structure or parameter values, thereby causing the initial design to evolve into the final design. This loop generally begins with the selection of a circuit topography known to be a good candidate for the desired performance. The more experienced and skillful the designer, the more likely this first choice will resemble the final design. What follows becomes, essentially, a parameter optimization problem. Finding the optimal parameters manually, or even with the assistance of circuitry simulators is time and labor intensive. Tools available to help here include simulated annealing and gradient search methods. Shortcomings in these methods are the requirement of huge computational time and the difficulties of avoiding local maxima and minima. Several broad categories of genetic evolution that have been applied to solve problems in computer programming, biology, chemistry, digital circuit design, and, to a lesser extent, analog circuit design. The tool developed here will work with both a variable structure and a variable number of parameters for components in each structure. The “brute-force” method of trying to optimize every circuit parameter against all the other circuit parameters for a fixed structure can require significant computation time. Trying to use brute-force on hundreds of different structures is simply impractical. The use of natural selection for fitness with genetic evolution of the fittest allows a relatively fast examination of a variety of structures as well as optimization of the element parameters. As with most engineering problem solving, this does not necessarily give the provably optimal circuit, but it does provide a means to design to a defined standard. It
Graph-based recommendations: from data representation to feature extraction and application

Modeling users for the purpose of identifying their preferences and then personalizing services on the basis of these models is a complex task, primarily due to the need to take into consideration various explicit and implicit signals, missing or uncertain information, contextual aspects, and more. In this study, a novel generic approach for uncovering latent preference patterns from user data is proposed and evaluated. The approach relies on representing the data using graphs, and then systematically extracting graph-based features and using them to enrich the original user models. The extracted features encapsulate complex relationships between users, items, and metadata. The enhanced user models can then serve as an input to any recommendation algorithm. The proposed approach is domain-independent (demonstrated on data from movies, music, and business systems) and is evaluated using several state-of-the-art machine-learning methods, on different recommendation tasks, and using different evaluation metrics. Overall, the results show an unanimous improvement in the recommendation accuracy across tasks and domains.
Software Engineering Emphasis For Computing Courses

Abstract NOTE: The first page of text has been automatically extracted and included below in lieu of an abstract Document: 2004-2305 Software Engineering Emphasis for Engineering Computing Courses: An Open Letter to Engineering Educators William Hankley Department of Computing & Information Sciences Kansas State University Manhattan, KS 66506 hankley@cis.ksu.edu Abstract Software is an important component for engineering development for all engineering fields, not just for computing sciences. This paper addresses what might be included in a service course for engineering majors on the topic of software development. Typically, that consists of a single course on either programming or on using software packages, but those basic skills are inadequate foundation for real software product development. We recommend a second course on software design and development, to include concepts of interaction design, usability, aspects of common software structure, architecture patterns for common program kinds, standard libraries, and software tools. The notation for such design will center on UML, the unified modeling language, but the design experience is more than just knowing UML. These concepts form the basis for designing software rather than just programming in accordance with some design; design concepts are a foundation for communication between application engineers and software engineers. Such a software course can be an effective early design experience for engineering majors. Introduction This paper is addressed to engineering educators in departments in which students may take some computing courses as breadth topics. The point of the paper is to recommend that a software design course is an essential second course for engineers, to explain why this is so, and to identify what topics would be in such a course. Unfortunately, a design course is usually not the second course available for non-CIS majors. If that is the case at your school, then it will take negotiation with the CIS department to offer such a course. For computer science and engineering instructors, the topics of this paper are not new. The figures comprise a tour of UML notation, which is commonly used in both programming and software design courses. The point is not that engineers should see UML notation; if that were the intent, then adequate introduction could be done in a first programming course. Rather, the point is that engineering students (beyond just Computer Science and Engineering majors) should have an experience of software design. Today, that design experience is often reserved as a senior capstone course for CSE majors. A key point of a design course is that students should see many different kinds of software models, such as structures for data management, visual direct manipulation, real-time control, games, and many others. The second point is that students should have extensive experience in Proceedings of the 2004 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright © 2004, American Society for Engineering Education

Mobile Teaching: Merging Smart Phones, Cloud, and Desktop to Achieve Content-specific Instruction in a Generic Environment

Many educational institutions face a similar problem today: the necessity to reorganize teaching and lab space to improve facility utilization.North Carolina Agricultural and Technical Statue University (NCA&T) made the difficult decision to eliminate dedicated labs and classrooms for content-specific instruction.Labs and classrooms previously equipped with private networks and custom operating systems were replaced with a single large classroom equipped with thin-client Windows-based computers.Student demand for Linux instruction has grown eight-fold in four years at NCA&T.In fall 2012, seats were limited to 60 students in two 30-student sections, and more students were involuntarily dropped.This begs the question, "How do large classes of students learn the intricate details of the Linux operating system in a Windows-based classroom with no lab?"The obvious answer is cloud-based Linux images, but cloud access alone is not a learning environment.The authors implemented a mobile virtual environment which included a new textbook, new learning aides, and an immersive hands-on regimen.Before and after metric-based learning outcome assessment demonstrate no adverse impact on the quality of education resulting from the elimination of content-specific classrooms and labs.
Schrödinger cat states in circuit QED

Circuit quantum electrodynamics (‘circuit QED’) describes the quantum mechanics and quantum optics of superconducting electrical circuits operating in the microwave regime near absolute zero temperature. It is the analog of cavity QED in quantum optics with the role of the atoms being played by superconducting qubits. The present lecture notes present a brief overview of circuit QED and then focus on some of the novel quantum states that can be produced and measured (via photon number parity and the Wigner function) using the strong coupling between an artificial atom and one or more cavities. Of particular importance are Schrödinger cat states of photons. Despite long being considered exemplars of frail quantum superpositions that quickly decohere, such states have recently been used as the basis for quantum error correction codes which have reached the long-sought goal of enhancing the lifetime of quantum information through active quantum error correction.

Essential background theory and mathematical techniques are introduced and applied in the analysis and design of quantum cryptographic protocols. The title explores several important applications such as quantum key distribution, quantum money, and delegated quantum computation, while also serving as a self-contained introduction to the field of quantum computing. With frequent illustrations and simple examples relevant to quantum cryptography, this title focuses on building intuition and challenges readers to understand the basis of cryptographic security. Frequent worked examples and mid-chapter exercises allow readers to extend their understanding, and in-text quizzes, end-of-chapter homework problems, and recommended further reading reinforce and broaden understanding. Online resources available to instructors include interactive computational problems in Julia, videos, lecture slides, and a fully worked solutions manual.
Driving Maximal Frequency Content and Natural Slopes Sharpening for Image Amplification with High Scale Factor

Background: In this paper, a method for adaptive Pure Interpolation (PI) in the frequency domain, with gradient auto-regularization, is proposed. Methods: The input image is transformed into the frequency domain and convolved with the Fourier Transform (FT) of a 2D sampling array (interpolation kernel) of initial size L × M. The Inverse Fourier Transform (IFT) is applied to the output coefficients and the edges are detected and counted. To get a denser kernel, the sampling array is interpolated in the frequency domain and convolved again with the transform coefficients of the original image of low resolution and transformed back into the spatial domain. The process is repeated until a maximum number of edges is reached in the output image, indicating that a locally optimal magnification factor has been attained. Finally, a maximum ascend–descend gradient auto-regularization method is designed and the edges are sharpened. Results: For the gradient management, a new strategy is proposed, referred to as the Natural bi- Directional Gradient Field (NBGF). It uses a natural following of a pair of directional and orthogonal gradient fields. Conclusion: The proposed procedure is comparable to novel algorithms reported in the state of the art with good results for high scales of amplification.
Scaling up a Hybrid MT System: From low to full resources

This article describes a hybrid approach to machine translation (MT) that is inspired by the rule-based, statistical, example-based, and other hybrid machine translation approaches currently used or described in academic literature. It describes how the approach was implemented for language pairs using only limited monolingual resources and hardly any parallel resources (the METIS-II system), and how it is currently implemented with rich resources on both the source and target side as well as rich parallel data (the PaCo-MT system). We aim to illustrate that a similar paradigm can be used, irrespectively of the resources available, but of course with an impact on translation quality.

PENGEMBANGAN SISTEM INFORMASI PENGELOLAAN KEGIATAN MASJID AL-FALAH SURABAYA

Masjid Al Falah Surabaya is one of the places of worship for Muslim religion in Surabaya. The mosque has divisions to manage activities associated with the mosque. The division is among others division of dakwah ibadah, division of zakat infaq, secretarial division, qurban committee, and others. Division of dakwah ibadahis a division that manages the study activities. Activities undertaken by the division of dakwah ibadah there are monthly reports and there are no monthly reports. Activities that have monthly reports are routine activities carried out by the division of dakwah ibadah, namely Sholat Rawatib, Kajian Spirit Muslim Sukses, Kajian Maghrib, Kajian Subuh, dan Kajian Majelis Jejak Nabi. Other activities or incidental activities do not have monthly reports. This matter may cause division of dakwah ibadahnot knowing what incidental activity has been done and enthusiasts from such activity.In addition to the division of dakwah ibadah, zakat infaq division also has difficulties in receiving zakat infaq recorded in paper form. So also with the qurban committee in performing receipt qurban recorded in the paper each acceptance. While the difficulties experienced in the secretarial division is to know the progress of incoming mail. The existing difficulties can be solved by establishing an activity management information system. This information system is made using system theory, information, management, management information system, and mosque organization. Once this information system is created, a trial is conducted to ensure that the information system is error-free and can be used in accordance with the objectives of the information system.
Google Glass: a wearable technology for sustainable modern libraries

Libraries are functioning in the highly technological spaces today. From books to microfilm readers to computers – a technology free library is only an exception today. The technologies that one finds in a library are a reflection of a variety of intersecting needs of the users as well as library staff, and goal is ensuring access to informational resources to the right user at a right time in a right format. E-books represent a rather ideal technology for these purposes as they are relatively inexpensive, easy to use, and it is simple to pass a book along from one person to another. The format has taken a giant leap in satisfying Ranganathan’s fourth law of library science. On the same lines, the libraries are adapting to various innovative technologies for accessing information as well. One such technology is wearable computing (e.g. Smart watches, Smart Glasses), which are designed to be small and lightweight with faster processing capability. These technologies enable even more immediate ways to share and access information. This article dwells upon such an advanced wearable technology tool i.e. Google Glass. Its features are taking photographs, sending messages, getting directions, making calls, searching information in Google and for special parsons (physically challenged persons) it has voice recognition, capture zooming features by swiping. This paper relieves that, how librarians and libraries can adopt this modern technology into library services
