A teamwork survey was conducted at Oakland University, Rochester, MI, in 533 engineering and computer science courses over a two-year period. Of the 6435 student respondents, 4349 (68%) reported working teams. Relative to students who only worked individually, teams were significantly more likely agree that course had achieved its stated learning objectives (p < 0.001). Regression analysis showed roughly one-quarter of variance belief about whether met could be explained by four factors: 1)...

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) has gained growing popularity in the recent years and is finding a wide range of important applications. Like other population based, stochastic meta-heuristics, PSO few algorithm parameters that need to be carefully set achieve best execution results. This paper develops an automatic parameter tuning technique for enhancing its performance. The effectiveness proposed method demonstrated on mathematical benchmark functions as well real world application problem.

The ever increasing popularity of the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is recently attracting attention to embedded computing world. Although PSO considered efficient compared other contemporary population based techniques, for many continuous multimodal and multidimensional problems, it still suffers from performance loss when targeted onto application platforms. Examples such target applications include small mobile robots distributed sensor nodes in network applications. In a...

The ever increasing popularity of particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is recently attracting attention to the embedded computing world. Although PSO in general considered be computationally efficient algorithm, its direct software implementation on complex problems, targeted low capacity processors could however suffer from poor execution performance. This paper first evaluates performance standard a typical platform (using 16-bit microcontroller). Then, modular, flexible and...

SUMMARY Recent work has resulted in the production of a microcomputer controlled, hydraulically actuated, active suspension for ¼ ton, 4 wheel drive vehicle called Iltis. The system been designed to accommodate various control schemes through relatively straightforward changes software and transducers. This paper describes implementation preview scheme on Following an extensive review sensor technology, ultrasonic sensors were selected use mode. These are rugged, sufficiently accurate cost...

The maturation or activation status of dendritic cells (DCs) directly correlates with their behavior and immunofunction. A common means to determine the maturity is from high-resolution images acquired via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) atomic force (AFM). While direct visual, determination has been made by looking at researchers. This work reports a machine learning approach using pattern recognition in conjunction cellular biophysical knowledge automatically. AFM reaches 100% accuracy....

This paper exploits the simplicity, efficiency and flexibility of particle swarm optimization (PSO) method to propose a single multisurface based data separation methods for classification Breast Cancer Data. Like most artificial intelligence techniques first step proposed approaches involve training PSO-based classifiers according pre-defined methods, using part dataset training. The performances are then tested on remaining measure accuracy. testing datasets derived from database obtained...

Polynomial expressions for the speed of sound as a function pressure 68 different organic liquids are presented in tabular form. (The form subset those discussed companion paper: Ultrasonic parameters absolute hydrostatic pressure. I. A review data liquids.) The polynomial based upon experimental results reported by many researchers. For some common liquids, such benzene, hexane, ethanol, and carbon tetrachloride, five researchers reported. These sometimes vary widely—far more than would be...

This paper addresses the problem of emission source localization in an environment monitored by a distributed wireless sensor network. Typical application scenarios interest include emergency response and military surveillance. A nonlinear least squares method is employed to model estimation location intensity at source. particle swam optimization (PSO) approach solve this produces solution qualities that compete well with other best known traditional approaches. Moreover, PSO achieves...

This paper presents a lightweight AXI DMA Controller architecture useful for embedded systems that do not require fully featured controllers. Simulation is accomplished with VUnit, and implementation results are obtained on Xilinx XC7Z010CLG400-1 FPGA. When compared Xilinx's controller the same configuration, presented utilizes between 16 82% fewer resources comparable speed.

Forth is a flexible language used in embedded systems. In this paper we present novel soft core that executes native Forth, including floating-point operations, and uses branch prediction for fast execution. The designed to be replacement of an controller running VM. architecture was created specifically literal, call-returns, jump instructions, which occur most frequently Forth. Our benchmarks show these improvements are significant speeding up overall execution time.

Two frequently used tools to acquire high- resolution images of cells are scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force (AFM). The former provides a nanometer view cellular features rapidly with high throughput, while the latter enables visualizing hydrated living cells. In current practice, these viewed by eye determine status, e.g., activated versus resting. Automatic quantitative data analysis is lacking. This paper develops an algorithm pattern recognition that works very...

This paper describes a system on chip (SoC) that makes use of nanoscale cellular adhesion mechanisms in an integrated electronic microsystem to filter infected cells from blood or lymph. An example human immunodeficiency virus-specific SoC is explored depth. Such systems work vivo, and lymph are filtered continuous basis. With the intelligence chip, captured can be identified lyzed, expelled, otherwise acted upon. These types transfer burden research traditional chemotherapy bioengineering design.
