Employers are increasingly selecting and developing employees based on skills rather than qualifications. Governments now have a growing focus skilling, reskilling upskilling the workforce through skills-based development qualifications as way of improving productivity. Both these changes leading to much stronger interest in digital badging micro-credentialing that enables more granular, learner-earners. This paper explores use an online profiling tool can be used by designers, educators,...
Abstract Aiming to further plastics recycling via rotational moulding processing, blends of virgin and recycled polyethylene sourced from post-consumer were developed. Three different kinds high density – bottles, pipes mixed household waste compounded with medium in an extruder. The ideal amount recyclate was chosen based upon the impact resistance contents (25, 50 75%) plastic 50/50 blend found have best performance. Compression-moulded rotationally-moulded samples analysed through falling...
There exists a significant gap between the requirements specified within higher education qualifications and sought by employers. The former, commonly expressed in terms of learning outcomes, provide measure capability, what skills have been learnt (an input measure); latter, role descriptions, competency, learner has become skilful output measure). Accreditation traditionally provides way translating embedding industry-relevant content into programmes but current approaches make fully...
This Innovative Practice Full Paper explores the diversity of challenges relating to teaching cybersecurity in UK higher education degree programmes, through lens national policy, impact on pedagogy and practice. There is a serious demand for specialists, both globally; there thus significant growing provision related specialist undergraduate postgraduate courses focusing varying aspects cybersecurity. To make our digital systems products more secure, all IT need know some - thus, case depth...
The Purpose Of This Study is to compare experimentally the merits and defects of three methods arithmetic problem solving. experiment attempts measure gains in ability solve problems which follows an extended period drill on experimental factors or methods*
The assurance of quality through degree accreditation by Professional, Statutory and Regulatory Bodies (PSRBs) is very much a feature higher education in the UK. In this dynamic emerging UK educational, economic policy environment, there still remains need for regimes to evolve order maximise value they provide institutions, as well industry society whole.
This paper investigates the effect of modeling subband correlation for noisy speech recognition. Subband feature streams are assumed to be independent in many subband-based recognition systems. However, experimental results suggest this assumption is unrealistic. In paper, a method proposed incorporate into streams. method, all possible combinations subbands created and each combination treated as single frequency-band by calculating vector it. The resulting vectors, therefore, capture...
Abstract This paper presents work from an ongoing study into the use of post-consumer waste polymer in rotational moulding process. Raw plastic recyclate, predominantly consisting polyethylene, was processed powders containing additive package suitable for moulding, with and without addition a compatibiliser. Rheological studies on materials showed very high viscosities at low shear rates comparison typically used which has significant implications melt flow bubble removal during It possible...
In the context of rising energy costs and climate emergencies, there is a need to incorporate novel procedures or materials meet sustainability requirements increase efficiency processes use resources. Although rotational molding might seem disadvantageous due long cycle times high consumption, its inherent advantages, including production hollow parts any size without wasting materials, with good surface reproducibility no internal stresses, using cost-effective tooling remain noteworthy....
Abstract Professional body accreditation must better communicate its value to higher education institutions, industry and society as a whole. Tom Crick, James H. Davenport, Paul Hanna, Alastair Irons, Sally Pearce Prickett explore the of - future enhancements BCS accreditation.
This paper deals with the problem of extracting semantic knowledge in production ER models from natural language specifications. The application heuristics is proposed as strategy to obtain relevant elements such entities, attributes and relationships Earlier research has shown that syntactic produced good results identifying correct terms recall precision. inclusion lexical hoped further improve results. may later be implemented part a tool generation models.
Although the discrete cosine transform (DCT) is widely used for feature extraction in pattern recognition, it shown that converges slowly most theoretically smooth functions. A modification of DCT described, based on a change variable, which changes to new transform, called Chebyshev (DChT), very rapidly same this rapid convergence largely destroyed by noise real experimental data, still generally better than when sampling data can be selected at nonequidistant points. The improvement over...
Statistical language models should improve as the size of n-grams increases from 3 to 5 or higher. However, number parameters and calculations, storage requirement increase very rapidly if we attempt store all possible combinations n-grams. To avoid these problems, reduced n-grams' approach previously developed by O'Boyle (1993) can be applied. A n-gram model an entire corpus's phrase-history length within feasible limits. Another theoretical advantage is that they are closer being...
Most current speech recognition systems are built upon a single type of model, e.g. an HMM or certain segment based and furthermore typically employs only one acoustic feature MFCCs their variants. This entails that the system may not be robust should modeling assumptions violated. Recent research efforts have investigated use multi-scale/multi-band features for recognition. paper described multi-model approach as alternative complement to multi-feature approaches. The seeks combination...
