Computers are one of the most popular kinds of electronic devices in the world today. Whether kid or adult, male or female, everyone wants to learn how to operate the computer. People use computers for different purposes such as typing papers, creating websites, making presentations, browsing on the internet, playing games, etc. In fact, many people are still confused about choosing what kind of computer they want to buy. In the world today, there are two types of computers: notebook/laptop a...
According to the U.S. Census "Forty-four million households, or 42 percent, had at least one member who used the Internet at home in 2000" (Home Computers 2). Today, no doubt, even more family members in the United States use computers. Most people are aware of the desktop computers which can be found in the home and in the workplace. What are the different types of computers and what are their purposes? Computers can be classified into three different categories of home computers, portable c...
ABSTRACT The on-going fusion between Computer education and mass media has transformed the world in which we live into a “global village” where students can easily get in touch, see or speak to one another and exchange information is multimedia, electronically, from any point on the globe to another. This important development of computer education has been acknowledged as the practical tool for national development. This paper examines ways to enhance computer education through the a...
Abstract Data Stream Mining is one of the area gaining lot of practical significance and is progressing at a brisk pace with new methods, methodologies and findings in various applications related to medicine, computer science, bioinformatics and stock market prediction, weather forecast, text, audio and video processing to name a few. Data happens to be the key concern in data mining. With the huge online data generated from several sensors, Internet Relay Chats, Twitter, Face book, Online B...
Abstract Pattern recognition is seen as a major challenge within the field of data mining and knowledge discovery. For the work in this paper, we have analyzed a range of widely used algorithms for finding frequent patterns with the purpose of discovering how these algorithms can be used to obtain frequent patterns over large transactional databases. This has been presented in the form of a comparative study of the following algorithms: Apriori algorithm, Frequent Pattern (FP) Growth algorith...
Abstract Concepts like gentelligent products, smart objects or cyber-physical systems have already proven a high potential especially for decentralized production planning and control. In this context, decentralized communication, new sensor technologies and the increased application of simulation and monitoring systems lead to an enormous increase of manufacturing data. Additionally, a new approach for the assessment of manufacturing quality based on process signals from the machine tool is ...
Abstract A Java Ring is a finger ring that contains a small microprocessor with built-in capabilities for the user, a sort of smart card that is wearable on a finger. Sun Microsystem´s Java Ring was introduced at their Java One Conference in 1998 and, instead of a gemstone, contained an inexpensive microprocessor in a stainless-steel iButton running a Java virtual machine and preloaded with applets (little application programs). The rings were built by Dallas Semiconductor. Workstations at t...
INTRODUCTION Information is not only the basic of human existence. It is also the life wire for running of any organization. This is consequent upon the fact that decisions are based on information for effective decision-making and effective execution of those decisions, there must be constant information flow. Data gathered must be transmitted to the end –users after it had been processed. Information receipt processing, storage, dissemination, etc. may be instant; otherwise valuable bus...
ABSTRACT This paper presents an H-infinity filtering approach to optimize a fuzzy control model used to determine behavior-consistent (BC) information-based control strategies to improve the performance of congested dynamic traffic networks. By adjusting the associated membership function parameters to better respond to nonlinearities and modeling errors, the approach is able to enhance the computational performance of the fuzzy control model. Computational efficiency is an important aspect i...
ABSTRACT How many times have you run into situations where you need to find-and-replace HTML content across a large web site? For example, you need to swap out headers and footers with SSIs (server side includes) on a large static web site for better maintainability. Or you need to find a header image across a site and replace it with another header image. One of my favorite tools for this task is Dreamweaver's Find and Replace utility. The GUI (graphical user interface) interface is simple t...
This paper presents an historical development of telecommunications starting from Lanlate I Satellite Earth Station which was Nigeria’s first international satellite telecommunications gateway to the outside world. An overview of the general level of development of information technology in Nigeria is also highlighted and it also examines the extent to which it is being used in support of information delivery and communication in science and technology. The importance of information technol...
