Defeasible Logic Programming (DeLP) is a knowledge representation formalism that combines results from Logic Programming and Defeasible Argumentation to provide reasoning based on contradictory and potentially incomplete information. DeLP allows information representation by using weak rules and provides an argumentation…

Photopolymers are studied as holographic recording materials for recording computer-generated phase holograms. The recording was performed using a holographic copying process, in which the master is produced by means of a high resolution graphic device. To our knowledge it is…

It has been suggested there is a knowledge base that surrounds the use of 3D modeling within the engineering design process and correspondingly within engineering design graphics education. While solid modeling receives a great deal of attention and discussion relative…

This study investigates an approach of knowledge discovery and data mining in insufficient databases. An application of Computational Taxonomy analysis demonstrates that the approach is effective in such a data mining process. The approach is characterized by the use of…

Recently, many individuals have been faced with a transfer of learning issue, surrounding the move from one 3-D CAD system to another.  The purpose of this research was to test the hypothesis that, with minimal instruction, users can transfer their…

Nowadays universities are required not only to impart
knowledge of specific disciplines but also generic graduate
attributes such as communication, problem-solving,
teamwork, creative thinking, research and inquiry skills. For
students to attain these generic skills, educators are
encouraged to use…

Engineering and technical graphics professionals have seen major changes in the content and the way we teach our students (Clark & Scales, 2000).  Today, professionals going into fields related to engineering/technical graphics require a broader knowledge of differing forms of…

ROI (Region of Interest) in an image or video signal contains important information and may be used for access control at various qualities using multiresolution analysis (MRA). This paper proposes quality access control method of compressed color image by modulating…

Spatial ability research has been approached from several psychological vantages since its beginnings in the late 1800s. This contribution attempts a summation of spatial ability research, beginning with a historical vignette and a major section on each psychological approach including…
