The form is a visual curriculum flowchart with grades for each subject. We predicted that this form would stimulate students' interest in the flowchart and give them a broad perspective over their learning career. Such a perspective would enable students to understand their own learning status and help them select subjects or courses in the future. We investigated the responses of nine students to three visual images appearing on the PC display, and asked them several questions while monitoring their gaze direction. Their verbal answers and gaze responses supported the validity of the chart form.","PeriodicalId":309975,"journal":{"name":"2018 7th International Congress on Advanced Applied Informatics (IIAI-AAI)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130975831","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}

Two playing modes were designed to explore the effects of multimedia design: one is played with voice and captions, and the other has voice only. In the current status of this study, the proposed VRLE has finished development and continues to examine the learning performance, immersion, and emotion of students. In the future, junior high school students from two classes in Taiwan will join the continuous experiment, and a mixed research will be conducted to investigate the effects of multimedia design in VR serious game.","PeriodicalId":309975,"journal":{"name":"2018 7th International Congress on Advanced Applied Informatics (IIAI-AAI)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127917227","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}

A torus type Self-Organizing Map is used to classify such unknown number of classes of peculiarity patterns. To let the trainers make viewing entire students' peculiarities easily, the resulted feature maps of the torus type SOM are classified into appropriate peculiarity classes based on the cluster map values. Early developing results of the peculiarity computation classification parts with measured data of an expert and sixteen learners show effectiveness of the proposed system.","PeriodicalId":309975,"journal":{"name":"2018 7th International Congress on Advanced Applied Informatics (IIAI-AAI)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125538223","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}

As the first, an automated scheduling software was developed to compare several basic and advanced rules for HFS. Secondly, the optimal solution was discussed to involve both a due-date of individual job and the efficiency of parallel machines in HFS for MTO. Gupta algorithm (1988) was extended considering with different processing time of the individual job. As the result of performance evaluations for actual cases, extended Gupta method improved the due-date satisfaction rate by 15% more than the typical rules, while keeping short makespan that means machines are effectively utilized beyond process steps. In addition, computation of the proposed method is very quick (less than 0.04 seconds) even to the problem consisting of 5 machines and around 110 jobs.","PeriodicalId":309975,"journal":{"name":"2018 7th International Congress on Advanced Applied Informatics (IIAI-AAI)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122223526","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}

Traditional methods may cut the power connection immediately for protection. In this case, however, the facilities may not return to usual work even the malfunction is removed. For this reason, alternative algorithms have been reported using feedback mechanism to resolve this problem. This paper reviews two major schemes based on a feedback principle. The first one uses a feedback-controlling high switching LC algorithm. The second one applies the resonant switching technique with a feedback control strategy. Both approaches achieve a constant-maintained load current for protection purpose. These will be investigated and discussed for more details, and then the conclusions will be made based on the comparison for each other.","PeriodicalId":309975,"journal":{"name":"2018 7th International Congress on Advanced Applied Informatics (IIAI-AAI)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121106485","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}
