  • Some cardio-vascular assist systems need more inexpensive artificial heart valves for short-term use. To meet with this need, we have developed a new polymer valve that is very simple to manufacture and of which its dimensions are easy to change, depending on its application. We have tested the hydrodynamic performance of the new polymer valve using a mock circulatory testing system and studied the flow through the valve using high-speed camera combined with image processing techniques. The results show that this valve is superior in its performances to the other valves (Bjork-Shiley mechanical valve and trileaflet polymer valve) and have no stagnation points. We also have tested the hemolytic potential of the valve. The valve is less hemolytic than the Bjork-shiley mechanical valve finally, we have applied this valve to a left ventricular assist device that we are developing.

  • In the knowledge development of online assessment in learning management systems (LMSs), many assessments are evaluated weekly in the summer training course for undergraduate students in the Faculty of Computing and Information Technology at King Abdul-Aziz University in Saudi Arabia. The number of performance assessments in the summer training course reaches 15 weeks. Many of them, however, are sent or done informally or through unreliable ways and cannot be verified by third parties. Therefore, applying the concept of digital transformation is essential. This research study reported herein used the action design research (ADR) method to build a new information technology system that could assist in the digital transformation. An electronic platform was designed, developed, implemented, and evaluated using the ADR method so that the main people involved in the summer training process (i.e., students, academic supervisors, and administrators) would have a high level of satisfaction with it. The study was conducted on 452 students, 105 academic supervisors, and 15 administrative staff and was conducted during the summer semester of 2020. All the training processes were digitally transformed and automated to control and raise the level and reliability of the training. All involved people were satisfied, thus, shifting the process to be in a digital form assist in achieving the high-level goal.

  • In electronic commerce, a registry is an integrated software system that supports access to registry metadata in order to locate and retrieve registered objects it can be discovered and used by a client or customer. In general, a registry consists of information model and its service. A registry implementation supports a registry services interface that can be used by abstract agents to assist a human or some other software process to register new objects, provide appropriate metadata for those objects, browse or query registry content, filter out irrelevant references, and retrieve the content of selected items. We show a layered registry architecture that is flexible enough to support the required specialization of many different kinds of registry specification of other sponsoring groups. This architecture could easily adopt different registry specification. This paper suggests a prototype implementation model which supports ebXML Registry standard based on this layered architecture.

  • The purpose of this study was to develop the FSR sensor suit that controls walking assist device for paraplegic patients. The FSR sensor suit was to detect user's intent and patterns for walking by measuring pressure on the palm and the sole of user's foot. It consisted of four modules: sensing pressure from palm, changing modes and detecting pressure on the palm/at the wrist, sensing pressure from the soles of user's foot, and host module that transmit FSR data obtained from sensing modules to PC. Sensing modules were connected to sensing pads which detect analog signals obtained from the palm or the sole of foot. These collect signals from the target regions, convert analog signals into digital signals, and transmit the final signals to host module via zigbee modules. Finally, host modules transmit the signals to host PC via zigbee modules. The study findings showed that forces measured at the palm when using a stick reflected user's intent to walk and forces at the sole of the user's foot revealed signals detecting walking state.

  • Advances in technology have given educators a tool to empower them to assist with developing the best possible human resources. Teachers at universities prefer to use more modern technological advances to help them educate their students. This opens up a necessity to research the capabilities of cloud-based learning services so that educational solutions can be found among the available options. Based on that, this essay looks at models and levels of deployment for the e-learning cloud architecture in the education system. A project involving educators explores whether gement Systems (LMS) can function well in a collaborative remote learning environment. The study was performed on how Blackboard was being used by a public institution and included research on cloud computing. This test examined how Blackboard Learn performs as a teaching tool and featured 60 participants. It is evident from the completed research that computers are beneficial to student education, especially in improving how schools administer lessons. Convenient tools for processing educational content are included as well as effective organizational strategies for educational processes and better ways to monitor and manage knowledge. In addition, this project's conclusions help highlight the advantages of rolling out cloud-based e-learning in higher educational institutions, which are responsible for creating the integrated educational product. The study showed that a shift to cloud computing can bring progress to educational material and substantial improvement to student academic outcomes, which is related to the increased use of better learning tools and methods.

  • 비동기 통신 수단으로써의 e-BBS (electronic-Bulletin Board System, 전자게시판)는 협력 학습을 위한 유용한 매체로 알려져 왔다. 그러나 e-BBS의 구조적 분석을 이해하기 위한 이론적 결과는 이직 충분하지 못하다. 그 결과, 복잡한 의사소통 현상을 이해하고 교수자를 도와 학생들을 교육 목적으로 이끌 수 있도록 보조하는 적절한 도구의 부재를 초래하게 되었다. 그로 인해 BBS를 활용하는 교수자는 토의 상황의 구조적, 종합적 이해가 부재한 상태에서 거의 방임적으로 운영하게 된다. 이러한 문제점에 대처하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 BBS의 구조적 이해를 돕기 위한 이론적 토대를 제시하고 그를 바탕으로 토의 활동 참여자의 행동 분석을 위한 계산 모델을 제시하고자 한다. 쌍방향 토의 활동의 형식 표현은 응답 그래프와 연결 그래프의 두 그래프로 이루어지며 분석을 위한 여러 측정치와 통계량이 제시된다. 분석의 결과를 명확하게 제시하기 위하여 유형별로 분류한다.

  • The atomization characteristics of the dual air supplying twin-fluid nozzle were investigated experimentally using PIV and PDA systems. The two-fluid nozzle is composed of three main parts: the feeding injector to supply fluid that is controlled by a PWM (pulse-width modulation) mode, the adaptor as a device with the ports for supplying the carrier and assist air and the main nozzle to produce the spray. The main nozzle has the swirl tip with four equally spaced tangential slots, which give the injecting fluid an angular momentum. The angle of the swirl tip varied with 0$^{\circ}$ 30$^{\circ}$, 60$^{\circ}$ and 90$^{\circ}$, and the ratios of carrier air to assist air and ALR(total air to liquid) were 0.55 and 1.23, respectively. The macroscopic behavior of the spray was investigated using PIV system, and the mean velocity, turbulent intensity and SMD distributions of the sprays were measured using PDA system. As the results, the mean axial velocity at the spray centerline decrease with the increase of the swirl angle. The turbulent intensities of the axial and radial velocity were increased with the increase of the swirl angle. The mean SMD (Sauter mean diameter) of the radial direction along the axial distance shows the lowest value at the swirl angle of 60$^{\circ}$.

  • A workflow management system is a software system to assist designing processes, controlling and managing the execution of the designed processes. One emerging trend in many recent information systems is the provision of process management functions. In this paper, we propose a method of designing processes for automatic process execution directly from process modeling. First of all, the concept of block is presented which is to define a nested process model. A block is the minimum unit that can specify the relationships of process components, i.e., tasks. A general process can be defined by a combination of the blocks defined in this paper. An algorithm is developed to transform a general flat process model into a nested model. We identify basic types of blocks and build ECA (Event-Condition-Action) rules for each of the basic types. This allows us to automate the execution of the process model by using the active features of active databases.

  • Collaborative filtering approach for recommender systems are now widely applied in e-commerce to assist customers to find their needs from many that are frequently available. this approach makes recommendations for users based on the opinions to similar users in the system. But this approach is opened to users who present their preference to items or acquire the preference information form other users, noise in the system makes significant problem for accurate recommendation. In this paper, we analyze the relationship between the standard deviation of preference ratings for each user and the estimated ratings of them. The result shows that the possibility of the pre-filtering condition which detecting the factor of bad effect on the prediction of user's preference. It is expected that using this result will reduce the possibility of bad effect on recommender systems.

  • 차세대 웹 애플리케이션은 거대하고 복잡하고 유연성을 요구한다. 에이전트 지향 시스템은 이러한 애플리케이션에 큰 가능성을 가지고 있으며, 에이전트는 동적으로 발견할 수 있고, e-서비스를 합성할 수 있고 상호작용을 중재할 수 있다. CBD(Component Based Development)를 통한 소프트웨어 에이전트의 개발은 프로젝트의 개발 속도를 증가시키며, 좀 더 나은 품질을 제공하며 낮은 개발비용으로 성공을 증명할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 컴포넌트와 UML(Unified Modeling Language)을 사용한 소프트웨어 에이전트를 위한 체계적인 개발 프로세스를 제안한다. 일반 에이전트와 e-비즈니스 에이전트의 분류를 통해 식별된 관련 컴포넌트 계층에 대한 ebA-CBD 참조 아키텍처를 제시한다. 또한, UML로 사용한 의미적인 프레임워크에서 에이전트 지향 개념을 기반 함으로써 기존의 에이전트 지향 소프트웨어 광학 방법론의 특징을 고려한 가이드라인으로 ebA-CBD 프로세스를 제안한다. 첫 번째로 에이전트 컴포넌트 명세를 개발하고, 목표, 역할, 상호작용과 아키텍처 모델을 작성한다. 제안된 프로세스에 따라 사례 연구로서 상품정보의 메일링 서비스인 e-CPIMAS(e-Commerce Product Information Mailing Agent System)를 개발한다. 끝으로 비즈니스 애플리케이션과 e-비즈니스 에이전트를 개발하기 위해 그 효율성, 재사용성, 생산성과 품질성 증가를 기대한다.
