Keynote lecture: optimization based matrix decomposition methods and their utilization in applications
Matrix decomposition methods play important roles in the theoretical aspects of the matrix theory beside their utilization in approximations. The main purpose is to represent a matrix in terms of the rather simple matrices. The linear combination type ...
Links between dynamic physical systems and operator theory issues concerning energy balances and stability
This paper relates properties of operators with the well- known concepts of positive realness and passivity properties in dynamic systems and their associate transfer functions. Those concepts together with very close related ones are first examined ...
Real time dynamic simulator for excitation control of synchronous generator
This paper proposes a real time dynamic simulator for the implementing and testing control algorithms. The dynamic simulator is used to simulate control a synchronous power plant in real time. The simulator consists of a PC on which the synchronous ...
Development of interactive software for teaching three-dimensional analytic geometry
In this work will be presented the elaboration of an interactive system for teaching three-dimensional analytic geometry. Incorporating modern methods and techniques, the presented software will lead the user to obtain experience in understanding and ...
Competitive-framework for diffusion of innovative knowledge in distant-learning-programs: project-management & blooms taxonomy perspective
Cultivating innovative-methods for learning a new Knowledge is a multidimensional and onerous-projectized-activity. It is one of the key considerations in technical training, distant learning(DL) and education industry. The advancement in computer Based ...
Cycles in directed graphs and inconsistencies in decision processes in educational institutions
Consistency in multy criteria decision-making means that if a basic amount of raw data is available than all other data can be logically deduced from it. When relations among all criteria involved in a decision-making are graphically represented by a ...
Techniques of teaching English for engineers
The main purpose of this research is to present the teaching English for engineers with emphasis on the role of the communicative language teaching. In the global context, students of engineering need a specific set of language skills for their success ...
Web-based election system for small scale to medium scale academic societies
On-line voting and on-line election workflow can be done securely by employing basic security applications readily provided by well established cryptographic technologies. By analyzing data-flow between actors in the workflow secure processes can be ...
Aspects related to the usefulness of a distance training course having Moodle as course management system support
The citizens benefit of technological progress in an equitable and non-discriminatory way in the Knowledge Society. Being part of the long-term governmental strategy, the permanent upgrading of the access to information and expanding of the Internet ...
Rates on collaborative platforms activity in multinational educational projects
Although the e-mail is the most used technology for remote collaboration, the team work within multinational projects involves collaborative activities that only the e-mail cannot support. The aim of the paper is to evaluate the activity amount that a ...
What is eLearning: a pragmatic mess of paradigms or evolution in learning?
Speed of developing information-communication technology (ICT) and its broader application in education have led to reconsideration of education as system and as process. Influence that ICT has over education is multiple regardless to its formal or ...
Quality standards for web-based English teaching in engineering
Setting standards in the evaluation of education reflects the community's response to the call for reform in the teaching and learning process. The corpus of standards aims at creating a coherent vision on the curriculum and on the corresponding means ...
Test anxiety and motivational incentives in web-based learning
Learning styles, motivation and test anxiety seem to be dynamic and surprising forces, which interact and collide, increasing or decreasing the effectiveness of the instruction process in unquantifiable ways. The relationship between nervousness, ...
Questionnaire for implementing open distance learning for English in engineering
This questionnaire has been prospecting the Romanian learning market for ten years, within the time frame 1999-2009, in an attempt to identify significant dissatisfactions with the traditional instruction framework in the field of foreign languages in ...
On the way to modeling: a case study in managing model transformations in MDA
The object technology revolution has allowed the replacement of the procedural refinement paradigm by the more fashionable object composition paradigm. This change has radical effect in software development. The Object Management Group (OMG) is rapidly ...
Correction in e-Learning foreign languages
This approach focuses on reducing the frequency of errors in engineering students' English, learnt and practised via web-based platforms. Mistakes and misunderstandings are often associated with emotional distress, but they are important as learning ...
Performance evaluation in foreign language e-Learning
Computers have become so widespread in schools and homes, and their uses have expanded so dramatically that most language teachers now are forced to think about the implications. Technology generates changes in foreign language teaching methodologies, ...
