Web-based learning environment based on studentsā needs
Traditional learning needs to be improved since it does not involve active learning among students. Therefore, in the twenty-first century, the development of internet technology in the learning environment has become the main needs of each student. One of the learning environments to meet the needs of the teaching and learning process is a web-based learning environment. This study aims to identify the characteristics of a webbased learning environment that supports studentsā learning needs. The study involved 542 students from fifteen faculties in a public higher education institution in Malaysia. A quantitative method was used to collect the data via a questionnaire survey by randomly. The findings indicate that the characteristics of a web-based learning environment that support studentsā needs in the process of learning are online discussion forum, lecture notes, assignments, portfolio, and chat. In conclusion, the students overwhelmingly agreed that online discussion forum is the highest requirement because the tool can provide a space for students and teachers to share knowledge and experiences related to teaching and learning
Discrete-Time Chaotic-Map Truly Random Number Generators: Design, Implementation, and Variability Analysis of the Zigzag Map
In this paper, we introduce a novel discrete chaotic map named zigzag map
that demonstrates excellent chaotic behaviors and can be utilized in Truly
Random Number Generators (TRNGs). We comprehensively investigate the map and
explore its critical chaotic characteristics and parameters. We further present
two circuit implementations for the zigzag map based on the switched current
technique as well as the current-mode affine interpolation of the breakpoints.
In practice, implementation variations can deteriorate the quality of the
output sequence as a result of variation of the chaotic map parameters. In
order to quantify the impact of variations on the map performance, we model the
variations using a combination of theoretical analysis and Monte-Carlo
simulations on the circuits. We demonstrate that even in the presence of the
map variations, a TRNG based on the zigzag map passes all of the NIST 800-22
statistical randomness tests using simple post processing of the output data.Comment: To appear in Analog Integrated Circuits and Signal Processing (ALOG
Cis-regulatory logic in the endo16 gene: switching from a specification to a differentiation mode of control
The endo16 gene of Strongylocentrotus purpuratus encodes a secreted protein of the embryonic and larval midgut. The overall functional organization of the spatial and temporal control system of this gene are relatively well known from a series of earlier cis-regulatory studies. Our recent computational model for the logic operations of the proximal region of the endo16 control system (Module A) specifies the function of interactions at each transcription factor target site of Module A. Here, we extend sequence level functional analysis to the adjacent cis-regulatory region, Module B. The computational logic model is broadened to include B/A interactions as well as other Module B functions. Module B drives expression later in development and its major activator is responsible for a sharp, gut-specific increase in transcription after gastrulation. As shown earlier, Module B output undergoes a synergistic amplification that requires interactions within Module A. The interactions within Module B that are required to generate and transmit its output to Module A are identified. Logic considerations predicted an internal cis-regulatory switch by which spatial control of endo16 expression is shifted from Module A (early) to Module B (later). This prediction was confirmed experimentally and a distinct set of interactions in Module B that mediate the switch function was demonstrated. The endo16 computational model now provides a detailed explanation of the information processing functions executed by the cis-regulatory system of this gene throughout embryogenesis. Early in development the gene participates in the specification events that define the endomesoderm; later it functions as a gut-specific differentiation gene. The cis-regulatory switch mediates this functional change
Improved Spectrum Mobility using Virtual Reservation in Collaborative Cognitive Radio Networks
Cognitive radio technology would enable a set of secondary users (SU) to
opportunistically use the spectrum licensed to a primary user (PU). On the
appearance of this PU on a specific frequency band, any SU occupying this band
should free it for PUs. Typically, SUs may collaborate to reduce the impact of
cognitive users on the primary network and to improve the performance of the
SUs. In this paper, we propose and analyze the performance of virtual
reservation in collaborative cognitive networks. Virtual reservation is a novel
link maintenance strategy that aims to maximize the throughput of the cognitive
network through full spectrum utilization. Our performance evaluation shows
significant improvements not only in the SUs blocking and forced termination
probabilities but also in the throughput of cognitive users.Comment: 7 pages, 10 figures, IEEE ISCC 201
