Designing a Model for Improving Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs)

Business improvement has always been one of the basic issues in the business world. Due to the growing changes in technology, pervasive competition and the changing needs of customers, companies must pay attention to the permanence and impr...

A systems-level energetic framework for conscious processing: energetic organization as a constraint on large-scale neural integration

Conscious processing is associated with coordinated interactions among distributed neural systems, yet the biological constraints that enable and sustain large-scale neural integration remain incompletely understood. Contemporary theories e...

Modeling Rare Species Distribution at the Edge: The Case for the Vulnerable Endemic Pyrenean Desman in France

The endemic Pyrenean Desman (Galemys pyrenaicus) is an elusive, rare, and vulnerable species declining over its entire and narrow range (Spain, Portugal, France, and Andorra). The principal set of conservation measures in France is a 5-year...

Event-Based Moving Target Defense in Cloud Computing With VM Migration: A Performance Modeling Approach

The domain of information security is undergoing significant evolution to address the increasingly complex challenges aimed at bolstering system resilience against attacks. The Moving Target Defense (MTD) methodology, which entails altering...

Coal mine methane emissions quantification based on vehicle-based monitoring

Obtaining accurate emissions of methane (CH_4), one of the most important non-carbon-dioxide greenhouse gases, is the basis for formulating and validating emission reduction policies. In terms of shortcomings from the "bottom-up" approach, ...

ltm: An R Package for Latent Variable Modeling and Item Response Analysis

The R package ltm has been developed for the analysis of multivariate dichotomous and polytomous data using latent variable models, under the Item Response Theory approach. For dichotomous data the Rasch, the Two-Parameter Logistic, and Bi...

Embodied science and mixed reality: How gesture and motion capture affect physics education

Abstract A mixed design was created using text and game-like multimedia to instruct in the content of physics. The study assessed which variables predicted learning gains after a 1-h lesson on the electric field. The three manipulated varia...
