Energy-Constrained Distortion Reduction Optimization For Wavelet-Based Coded Image Transmission In Wireless Sensor Networks, Wei Wang, Dongming Peng, Honggang Wang, Hamid Sharif, Hsiao-Hwa Chen

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering: Faculty Publications (to 2015)

Image transmissions in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs) are often energy constrained. They also have requirement on distortion minimization, which may be achieved through Unequal Error Protection (UEP) based communication approaches. In related literature with regard to wireless multimedia transmissions, significantly different importance levels between image-pixel-position information and image-pixel-value information have not been fully exploited by existing UEP schemes. In this paper, we propose an innovative image-pixel-position information based resource allocation scheme to optimize image transmission quality with strict energy budget constraint for image applications in WMSNs, and it works by exploring these uniquely different importance levels among image data …

Untapped Cultural Support: The Influence Of Culturally Bound Prior Knowledge On Comprehension Performance, Ruanda Garth-Mccullough

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

By analyzing the prior knowledge of African American students, this study explored the relationship between cultural orientation of literature and reading comprehension to determine its’ effect on low, mid, and high level readers. Over one hundred 8th grade students from four different public schools read short stories from three different cultural orientations. Their reading comprehension performance was analyzed to determine the role that culturally bound prior knowledge plays in the comprehension process for low, medium, and high performing students. To measure the effects of cultural orientation of texts, prior achievement, and prior knowledge on the students’ reading comprehension performance, the …

Intellectual Property, Copyright, And Fair Use In Education, Shaheen Lakhan, Meenakshi Khurana

Academic Leadership: The Online Journal (2003-2012)

As with other rights, such as liberty and organization, intellectual property (IP) rights are often overlooked or disregarded simply because they are intangible. Yet, IP rights are essential to the workings of our society, and upholding them means greater freedom to invent, create, and advance. IP is an emerging issue within the education arena. While many people think of it as a new concept, its origins date back to the sixteenth century. In 1557, Great Britain began to awaken to the idea of copyright, and the idea took firm root. The creators of the American Constitution included it in Article …

Nature And Application Of Knowledge And Its Significance To Organizational Management Leaders, Heidi Gregory-Mina

Academic Leadership: The Online Journal (2003-2012)

Epistemology is a branch of philosophy, which provides an individual with tools for understanding what he or she knows, but epistemology cannot be separated from an individual’s metaphysics. It is almost impossible to separate a thinker’s epistemology from his or her metaphysics, because epistemology connects with specific ethics and politics and metaphysics connects all of that, in a coherent philosophical system. Metaphysics connects the philosophical system because epistemology does not fit well with randomness but does connect with specific ethics and politics. In 1854, the term epistemology appears to have been used for the first time, correlating with an intense …

Finding Artistic Voice: Expressive Critiques Embedded In Teacher Education, Jonathan Silverman

Academic Leadership: The Online Journal (2003-2012)

Many students in education programs never engage in an artistic experience. Typically, they complete their requirements through writing, oral presentations, seminar discussions, internships, and student teaching. In my classes I have inserted expressive critiques that ask students to demonstrate their reactions and understanding of classroom observations and topics discussed in class through a visual or performance art medium.

Perspectives In Provisions For Science And Technology Education In Nigeria: The Way Forward, Adebola Ifamuyiwa, Kehinde Alebiosu

Academic Leadership: The Online Journal (2003-2012)

The promotion of science and technology education is a warmly embraced venture. Nigerian educational system prioritized science and technology with policies that are favorably disposed to science and technology education. The national policy on education and the national policy on science and technology made good provisions for science and technology education. Government through the education policy empowered the Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE), the Basic Education, the senior secondary education, technical and scientific education and tertiary education with robust plan for science and technology education in the programmes. (FGN, 2004). The policy came into existence in 1977 and education …
