Whilst working on an upcoming meta-analysis that synthesized fifty years of research predictors programming performance, we made interesting discovery. Despite several studies citing a motivation for as the high failure rates introductory courses, to date, majority available evidence this phenomenon is at best anecdotal in nature, and only single study by Bennedsen Caspersen has attempted determine worldwide pass rate courses.
The high failure rates of many programming courses means there is a need to identify struggling students as early possible. Prior research has focused upon using set tests assess the use student's demographic, psychological and cognitive traits predictors performance. But these are static in nature, therefore fail encapsulate changes learning progress over duration course. In this paper we present new approach for predicting performance course, based analyzing directly logged data,...
Research over the past fifty years into predictors of programming performance has yielded little improvement in identification at-risk students. This is possibly because research to date based upon using static tests, which fail reflect changes a student's learning progress time. In this paper, effectiveness 38 traditional are compared 12 new data-driven predictors, that analyzing directly logged data, describing behavior Whilst few strong correlations were found between and performance, an...
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to understand the difference in purchase decision behavior compression sportswear by Baby Boomers and Generation Y. Design/methodology/approach Two methods were used for data collection: a simulation study with 17 23 Y subjects using eye-tracking technology; questionnaire from sample 82 84 consumers. Findings are more inquisitive focus greatly on technical information. confident their choices, taking shorter time reach decision; they concerned aspects...
This paper presents a game-based learning environment to support novice students programming. The proposed exploits game construction tasks make the elementary programming more intuitive learn. It also comprises concept visualization techniques, which allows visualize and learn key concepts in through object manipulation.
A gene co-expression network (GCN) describes associations between genes and points to genetic coordination of biochemical pathways. However, correlations in a GCN are only detectable if they present the sampled conditions. With increasing quantity expression samples available public repositories, there is greater potential for discovery from variety biologically interesting even present, their can be masked by noise. Noise introduced natural variation (intrinsic extrinsic), systematic...
Sensorial comfort, usually described as "fabric hand or feel", is the sensation of how fabric feels when it worn next to skin. This feeling deals with properties such prickling, itching, stiffness smoothness. It can also be related its attributes physiological for instance a wet sensorial change and may cling Wet clinging major source discomfort in situations profuse sweating like firefighters' working environment. For objective evaluation this aspect comfort Kawabata Evaluation System (KES)...
Sports compression garments (SCG) have been used by athletes for years as means of enhancement their performance and speed recovery. In this research, the investigation into effects physical attributes suitable materials composition orientation in SCG upon amount distribution pressure generated to underlying body was undertaken. Two different knitted fabrics sport garment with properties elastic were chosen. Experimental fabric sleeves assembled, so that they provided strains around...
The growing trend to live a healthier lifestyle and increase quality of life is important for sportswear marketers worldwide. This study applied generational cohort theory compare the consumer purchase behaviour Generation Y Baby Boomer cohorts with regard sports compression garments. In this research, simulation was carried out in Germany, using eye-tracking technology. focused on understanding respect factors such as comfort, quality, technical attributes methods product promotion. It...
In this study a three-dimensional (3D) INFOOT scanner was used to scan the hand in different postures and Geomagic Studio 12 measure analyzes skin deformation behavior (skin relaxed-strain ratio) during various sport activities. Thirteen female participants between ages of 40-65 years with size medium (M) performed relaxed posture two dynamic which were relevant key There significant differences ratio experimental postures, especially phalangeal metacarpal regions exception (third...
Due to the differences in background knowledge, learning styles and preferences, individual students may take very different approaches towards learning. In light of this, adaptive educational hypermedia systems (AEHSs) have been developed offer personalized content improve their outcome. These typically use programming scripts hierarchical course structures as primary techniques support e-learning authoring for types students. They require teachers not only substantial technical skills, but...
This report describes recruitment of minority cancer survivors for a randomized trial I Can Cope, support program the American Cancer Society. Survivor Education and Evaluation (SURE), was designed to recruit patients, age 19 older, with primary diagnosis. Recruitment primarily carried out in public hospital Birmingham, Alabama. Of 373 patients approached, 226 were eligible study, 175 consented, 140 during 20-month period. Only 43 declined participation. resulted 61.9% yield. The mean...
Vapor-permeable waterproof textiles (VPWTs) are used in sailing apparel to protect wearers from weather and water exposure. They must also withstand knocks abrasion. Failure of fabric waterproofing results intrusion, reduced thermal protection potentially hypothermia. There no standard methods for testing the durability fabrics these conditions. To evaluate durability, we simulated high levels wear on leading commercially available VPWT assemblies through mechanical treatment wet compare...
