Abstract:

The article deals with a special kind of modelling tass. These problems are used for learning and researching as well. So the results of an empirical study on mathematical modelling of pupils in secondary schools are presented. Pupils of forms 8-10 were observed working on open, realistic problems. These observations were recorded and evaluated. The goal of the presented part of the study is a detailed look at the control processes of modelling problems. In this context changes between real life control and mathematical control during the control phases are studied and evaluated. We describe i

Abstract:

The inclusion of science in the primary school curriculum makes it necessary to have plausible scientific activities that fulfil certain educational objectives. The purpose of this study is to show to what extent it is possible to combine such criteria. Tasks have been constructed, each in two versions - Structured and Investigation plus Goal - in each four topic domains. Levels of success are given for both versions of the tasks, both overall and in relation to their cognitive demands. The tasks are constructed so as to elicit, as far as possible, a number of 'scientific processes'. This noti

Abstract:

Math & Science Education<br>Ph.D.<br>A main goal of mathematics educators is to guide students in becoming better problem solvers; however, the recipe for successful problem solving is complex due to the varying factors that play a role in the problem solving process (Schoenfeld, 1992). There is a limited amount of research that examines problem solving when students work on non-routine problems outside of the classroom; therefore, the goal of this study is to use secondary data analysis to discover what factors (Schoenfeld, 1992) relate to problem solving on non-routine unconstrained tasks of

Abstract:

Reinforcement Learning (RL) represents a very promising field in the umbrella of Machine Learning (ML). Using algorithms inspired by psychology, specifically by the Operant Conditioning of Behaviorism, RL makes it possible to solve problems from scratch, without any prior knowledge nor data about the task at hand. When used in conjuction with Neural Networks (NNs), RL has proven to be especially effective: we call this Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL). In recent past, DRL proved super-human capabilities on many games, but its real world applications are varied and range from robotics to gener

Abstract:

A relatively large number of 8th-grade public middle school students in the United States, particularly in urban communities, are not performing at acceptable levels in mathematics. One concept that poses significant difficulty for these students and negatively affects their overall mathematics achievement is fractions. Many researchers have attributed these difficulties primarily to traditional fraction instruction that emphasizes procedural rather than conceptual knowledge. Therefore this study was designed to investigate how students use their computational and conceptual knowledge and frac

Abstract:

Consumers of modern avionics and automotive systems expect many, well integrated features. Efforts are continually being made to make engineering processes better equipped to adapt to enhancement requests. Within both the avionics and automotive industries, standardisation of hardware and interfaces has allowed software to be mapped to hardware at a later stage of the design process and for this mapping to be more easily changed. Tools which automatically perform the mapping of tasks and messages onto a hardware platform are called task allocation tools. The primary requirement of a task alloc

Motivated by an underlying industrial demand, solving intractable technician and task scheduling problems through the use of heuristic and metaheuristic approaches have long been an active research area within the academic community.

The motivation of this research is to find general-purpose heuristic approaches that can solve variants of technician and task scheduling problem

The area of focus for this research is the Stochastic Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (SRCPSP) with Stochastic Task Insertion (STI). The STI problem is a specific form of the SRCPSP, which may be considered to be a cross between two types of problems in the general form: the Stochastic Project Scheduling Problem, and the Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem. The stochastic nature of this problem is in the occurrence/non-occurrence of tasks with deterministic duration. Researchers Selim (2002) and Grey (2007) laid the groundwork for the research on this problem. Selim

A worst-case analysis suggests that using the SVRP can improve total costs by as much as a factor of 2 and the last delivery by a factor that scales with the number of vehicles over the classical VRP.

Due to the structure of the robot, having 7 (or more) degrees of freedom results in a non-unique definition of the configuration of the robot: by choosing the values of the redundant axis angles, the robot is always able, within the working space, to satisfy the requested final position

Nowadays in the world of mass consumption there is big demand for distributioncenters of bigger size. Managing such a center is a very complex and difficult taskregarding to the different processes and factors in a usual warehouse when we want tominimize the labor costs. Most of the workers’ working time is spent with travelingbetween source and destination points which cause deadheading. Even if a worker knowsthe structure of a warehouse well and because of that he or she can find the shortest pathbetween two points, it is still not guaranteed that there won’t be long traveling timebetween th

Abstract:

Mobile sensor networks have been shown to be a powerful tool for enabling a number of activities that require recording of environmental parameters at various spatial and temporal distributions. These mobile sensor networks could be implemented using a team of robots, usually called robotic sensor networks. This type of sensor network involves the coordinated control of multiple robots to achieve specific measurements separated by varied distances. In most formation measurement applications, initialization involves identifying a number of interesting sites to which mobility platforms, instrum
