Education software is abundant on the web, but few support the analysis of students’ performance and test difficulty over user-defined questions and learning objectives. The idea of this project is to create a computer program to provide educators with insights on student performance on assessment items and perceived and actual assessment item difficulty within fine-grained […]

The proposed research project proposes to study how to best provide a student learning portal for children of age 8 to 13 years old. Such system requires to carefully reviewing the literature both in terms of designing for children, and in terms of interpreting the results of usability studies with children. Designing an effective student […]

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are environmental pollutants that occur in various chemical forms across the terrestrial and marine environments and have long been of the subject of intense research worldwide due to their highly toxic properties. PAHs are uptaken by bio-organisms and activated to electrophilic metabolites to exert their toxic effects. Meanwhile, different toxicity of […]

The availability of inexspensive electricity in a constant and reliable fashion is critical to economic development and efficient resource consumption. To this end, accurate short term load forecasting (STLF) on an electrical grid enable the minimization of dispatch and running costs on the scale of seconds to a week. Models and approaches employed in STLF […]
