Co-Space refers to interactive virtual environment modelled after the real world in terms of look-and-feel, functionalities and services. We have developed a 3D virtual world named Nan yang Technological University (NTU) Co-Space populated with virtual human characters. Three key requirements of realistic virtual humans in the virtual world have been identified, namely (1) autonomy: Agents can function on their own, (2) interactivity: Agents can interact naturally with players, and (3) personality: Agents can exhibit human traits and characteristics. Working towards these challenges, we propose a brain-inspired agent architecture that integrates goal-directed autonomy, natural language interaction and human-like personality. We conducted …

Computer-Based Modules for Engineering Instruction Must Be Concise, Flexible, Educational and Engaging in Order to Effectively Supplement Traditional Classroom Teaching Tools. a Computer Example that Takes More Time Than a Chalkboard Presentation is Not Likely to Be Useful in Today's Engineering Classroom. Flexible Navigation is Necessary So that the Instructor Can Quickly and Easily Respond to Student Questions. Useful Modules Must Also Improve Problem-Solving Skills or Clarify Troublesome Concepts in Order to Be Considered Worthy of Inclusion in the Limited Class Time Available. Finally, and Perhaps Most Importantly, Effective Computer-Based Modules Must Meet the Challenge of Holding the Student's Attention. …

Dynamics Of Elastic Sheets With Bending Stiffness, Michael Gene Hilgers
Dynamics Of Elastic Sheets With Bending Stiffness, Michael Gene Hilgers
Business and Information Technology Faculty Research & Creative Works
A theory describing the motion of nonlinear elastic membranes with bending stiffness is formulated. The strain energy density for these materials depends on the second derivatives of the deformation as well as the first derivatives. A compatible kinetic energy density requires velocity gradient terms to agree to the same order as the strain energy density. The equations of motion are derived using Hamilton's principle. Due to the velocity gradient dependence of the kinetic energy density, the equations of motion are found to possess a rotary inertia term which is considered from a variety of perspectives. The motion of a spinning …

Business and Information Technology Faculty Research & Creative Works
During the past several years, there has been much discussion and controversy over what should be taught in high school mathematics, in general, and in high school geometry, in particular. Numerous mathematicians have encouraged the teaching of transformations as part of the standard high school mathematics curriculum[1-4,6-9]. The results of a recent survey of high school teachers of mathematics indicate that 19% have taught geometric transformations, 26% feel adequately prepared to teach such a topic, and 50% would like to teach the topic if materials were available for the average college prep student[5].
