With the pervasiveness of information and communication technology (ICT), an opportunity has been created to fundamentally change the status quo of training. This paper presents one approach of using ICT through the innovative combination of factors such as a person's abilities, styles and preferences with a multimodal interface to facilitate enhanced training. However, many ways exist to guide the research process of such a complex research initiative. Action research is one research method that lends itself to these complex projects. The paper uses the ability based technology interventions (AbTi) research project as a case study to analyse the effectiveness of the action research methodology. The paper describes the accumulated learning as obtained from the AbTi research project, as well as the action research methodology used, in order to ultimately be in a position to effect a fundamental change in training. It is found that action research can be an effective methodology for research initiatives of a complex nature.","PeriodicalId":163141,"journal":{"name":"2009 2nd International Conference on Adaptive Science & Technology (ICAST)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131729280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, we propose a novel reverse converter, which is purely adder based, using the traditional Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT). Second, due to the fact that the proposed CRT based structure does not cover the entire dynamic range, a second converter, which covers the entire dynamic range based on Mixed Radix Conversion (MRC), is proposed. The CRT based converter outperforms the MRC based converter both in terms of area and delay. In comparison with related best known state of the art converters, they are all outperformed by the proposed CRT based scheme in terms of both area cost and conversion delay. The theoretical evaluation is supported by the experimental results, which are estimated on a Standard Cell 0.13-µm CMOS technology. These experimental results indicate that, on average, for the same dynamic range, the proposed CRT based converter achieves about 23% delay reduction with more than 3% area reduction, when compared to the existing state of the art MRC based converter. Additionally, the proposed CRT based converter is about 6% faster with about 4% area reduction when compared with the existing CRT based converter.","PeriodicalId":163141,"journal":{"name":"2009 2nd International Conference on Adaptive Science & Technology (ICAST)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130556675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These mails (popularly referred to as 419 spam) come in broad categories but all with the intent of defrauding the recipients'. Testing the validity of senders and receivers address is one method that has been used to filter spam mails. This approach will not filter out ordinary e-mails since typical e-mail users will always include their true e-mail addresses to facilitate replies. Checking the IP-addresses of 419 mails is a way of ascertaining their actual origin. This can be done with the intention to build a database of e-mail abuse or to blacklist addresses from which fraudulent mails are originating keeping in mind that blacklisted IP addresses could be used to stop the delivery of further mails from such addresses in the future. To this end, this research examines features selected specifically from the content analysis of Nigeria spam e-mail. A domain specific statistical content analysis tool (e-STAT) was developed and implemented using Bayesian statistical technique. The software was tested and trained with a sizeable balanced corpus of Nigerian 419 spam e-mails and normal (ham) e-mails. Analysis of classified mails using e-STAT showed that current concept drift patterns among Nigerian 419 spammers and provided a blacklist of about 2,173 e-mail sender's addresses, 563 URLs within spam mails and a total of 13,491 bag-of-words common to Nigerian spam e-mails. The research obtained results that will guide future research in the domain of 419 mails in designing effective spam filters and electronic mail classifiers.","PeriodicalId":163141,"journal":{"name":"2009 2nd International Conference on Adaptive Science & Technology (ICAST)","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116652749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
