A comparative analysis of coding approaches in machine learning among computer science students and non-computer science students

The increasing presence of Machine Learning in all fields of study requires an improvement in how it is taught. Previous research on this topic examined how to teach ML concepts and highlighted the importance of using technology and leveraging relevant pedagogical content knowledge. It did not compare the impact of previous programming knowledge...

Firmware Updates Over The Air for LoRa using Random Linear Network Coding

LoRaWAN is a public Wireless Sensor network with excellent properties like being long-range, low-energy radios and resulting in long battery life. Devices are connected to this network through gateways, and they will run in that deployment for years without replacement. Therefore, bugs and security issues in such devices' firmware are present...

A finite element investigation of the mechanical effect of ply drops in blended laminates

Weight reduction in vehicles offers many advantages. Especially in aircraft, one of the advantages of weight reduction less need for power which is translated into less fuel consumption and lower emissions. Composite materials are now a popular construction material in new passenger aircraft, making them lighter by taking advantage of their high...

High Quality Transmission Of Paper Documents Over Telecommunications Networks

A system is presented for the transmission over telecommunications networks of a document from paper input (scanner) to an electronic output medium, mostly a computer or electronic storage device. The scanning operation has to take place at a high resolution (300 dots per inch), so the emphasis in this report is put on data compression.

Analysis of the Eurofix Data Link

After the introduction of the Eurofix concept for transmission of Differential GPS data via Loran-C signals by additional phase modulation, the consequences of this modulation for conventional (non-Eurofix) users is discussed. In what follows, various modulation schemes will be introduced and the properties of these schemes will be described.
