On-line quizzes to evaluate comprehension and integration skills
2016
[EN] This work demonstrates the use of a 2.0 tool, namely, Socrative, to evaluate one of the cross-curricular competences indicated by the Universitat Politècnica de València, specifically, comprehension and integration. It has been applied to the courses in different areas: sciences, engineering and languages. As part of its implementation, activities were proposed that could be done at the beginning, during or at the end of the class to, on the one hand, help students acquire the knowledge associated with the course(s), and on the other, gather evidence that demonstrates acquisition of said competence. The results show a high level of satisfaction by the students with the use of the Socra…
Justifier les dépenses vestimentaires dans la recette générale de toutes les finances du duc de Bourgogne Philippe le Bon
2014
La série comptable de la recette générale de toutes les finances sous le duc de Bourgogne Philippe le Bon, remarquablement bien conservée, permet une approche fine et précise de la conjoncture vestimentaire de l’hôtel ducal, mais aussi, dans une large mesure, de l’évolution de la comptabilité. Les outils de contrôle importants, à tous les niveaux, mais aussi les changements de personnel et les réformes régulières témoignent des difficultés de l’autorité ducale à maîtriser ses finances. Le compte, outil de travail personnel, évolue en fonction de la personnalité du receveur et des contraintes auxquelles il est soumis. Ces contraintes se renforcent à l’orée des années 1440, dans un contexte g…
Multi-objective optimization for computation offloading in mobile-edge computing
2017
Mobile-edge cloud computing is a new cloud platform to provide pervasive and agile computation augmenting services for mobile devices (MDs) at anytime and anywhere by endowing ubiquitous radio access networks with computing capabilities. Although offloading computations to the cloud can reduce energy consumption at the MDs, it may also incur a larger execution delay. Usually the MDs have to pay cloud resource they used. In this paper, we utilize queuing theory to bring a thorough study on the energy consumption, execution delay and price cost of offloading process in a mobile-edge cloud system. Specifically, both wireless transmission and computing capabilities are explicitly and jointly co…
Incentive Mechanism for Edge Computing-Based Blockchain: A Sequential Game Approach
2022
The development of the blockchain framework is able to provide feasible solutions for a wide range of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications. While the IIoT devices are usually resource-limited, how to make sure the acquisition of computational resources and participation of the devices will be the driving force to realize blockchain. In this work, an edge computing-based blockchain framework is considered, where multiple edge service providers (ESPs) can provide computational resources to the IIoT devices. We focus on investigating the trading between the devices and ESPs, where ESPs are the sellers and devices are the buyers. A sequential game is formulated and by exploring the…
A dynamic adjustment model of saccade lengths in reading for word-spaced orthographies : evidence from simulations and invisible boundary experiments
2021
Contemporary models of eye movement control in reading assume a discrete target word selection process preceding saccade length computation, while the selection itself is assumed to be driven by word identification processes. However, a potentially more parsimonious, dynamic adjustment view allows both next word length and its content (e.g. orthographic) to modulate saccade length in a continuous manner. Based on a recently proposed center-based saccade length account (a new regression model of forward saccade length is introduced and validated in a simulation study. Further, additional simulations and gaze-contingent invisible boundary experiments were used to study the cognitive mechanism…
Specific protocol (SENSLOG) over TCP/IP for sensors applications
2005
The objective is to obtain an embedded system using a microcontroller that will communicate with other devices over a specific protocol (SENSLOG) over TCP/IP for sensors applications. The protocol has been designed for this application, but the commands are generic. They can be used for any type of sensing. We must take into account that this program will run in a microcontroller and it will communicate with another program running in a PC. The protocol is based on commands, like SMTP. From the PC we will send commands to the microcontroller to do specific tasks, and if it is necessary, the microcontroller will answer to the PC. Some of the functions designed for this protocol are: to contr…
An Early Stage Researcher's Primer on Systems Medicine Terminology
2021
Background: Systems Medicine is a novel approach to medicine, that is, an interdisciplinary field that considers the human body as a system, composed of multiple parts and of complex relationships at multiple levels, and further integrated into an environment. Exploring Systems Medicine implies understanding and combining concepts coming from diametral different fields, including medicine, biology, statistics, modeling and simulation, and data science. Such heterogeneity leads to semantic issues, which may slow down implementation and fruitful interaction between these highly diverse fields. Methods: In this review, we collect and explain more than100 terms related to Systems Medicine. Thes…
Social Media Usage for Computing Education : The Effect of The Strength and Group Communication on Perceived Learning Outcome
2020
Social media has become an important platform where users share, comment, discuss, communicate, interact, and play games. Aside from using social media for personal, social, and business purposes, the use of social media has gained attention, particularly for collaborative learning in the educational sector. This paper examines the role of social media in computing education based on the use of WhatsApp social media group. Additionally, the study explores how social media usage by students influences their perceived learning outcomes. Given these aims, the study formulated four research hypotheses and tested using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling. With the participants of …
