Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), the fast developing teaching and learning platforms of global interest, are the product of higher education's expanded usage of e-learning. MOOCs have been heralded as the potential educational breakthrough for the 21st century. A positive attitude toward self-efficacy is essential for successful MOOC implem

Native granular starches (corn, cassava,mung bean, and sago)were hydrolyzed using a mixture of alpha-amylase and glucoamylase at 35 ◦C for 24 h. Hydrolyzed starches were analyzed for the degree of hydrolysis and for physicochemical and functional properties. Corn starch showed the highest degree of hydrolysis, as evidenced by the presence of dist

The first aim of the present study is to validate an extended technology acceptance model (TAME) on the data derived from the faculty members of a university in an ongoing, computer mediated work setting. The study extended the original TAM model by including an intrinsic motivation component — computer self efficacy. In so doing, the study asses

It is generally accepted that calcium phosphate (CaP) is one of the most important biomaterials in implant coating applications mainly because of its excellent bioactivity. However, its relatively poor mechanical properties limits its application. This entails that a better understanding of the mechanical properties of a CaP coating is a must espec

Control of vibration suppressions is crucial for applications in engineering particularly in the area of aircraft system. A hybrid control approach encompasses of using a feedforward intelligent command shaping technique with combination of intelligent PID feedback control is presented in this paper. The advantage of using command shaping is to red

Internet of Things as known as IoT is a network pointing to a series of interconnected devices that are communicating with each other. M2M communication protocol is integral part of IoT to allowing multiple devices to communicate smoothly. Aloha-NOMA for ambient backscatter M2M communication can provide high throughput matched with low complexity o

Design, development and simulation results of an interdigitated metal-fingers capacitors in 0.18 #x03BC;m RF-CMOS technology that are exploiting both lateral and vertical metal-metal capacitances are presented. Two RF-CMOS capacitors are designed specifically for applications in a 2.45GHz power splitter circuit. Five metal RF-CMOS layers are used t

Abstract. An infection from pathogenic fungi is one of the main reasons causing the losses of mangoes during postharvesl. An essential oil from Melaleuca alternifolia is being introduced as natural fungicide in controlling postharvest disease of mangoes. The extraction of essential oil from Melaleuca alternifolia was performed using Solvent Free Mi

Wireless power transfer (WPT) system becomes a truthful technique to avoid cabling and the hazards of electric shock rather than the limitations of plugs compared to the number of devices in any place. In addition, the flexibility of using such technology is way comfortable than the classic way of connecting devices into the charger, where it is ob
