This paper describes a formal experiment carried out to investigate the effect of the personality factor Openness to experience on the academic performance of students who practiced pair programming (PP) in higher education. The experiment was carried out at the University of Auckland, using as subjects undergraduate students attending an introduct

Background: This study was to explore the pattern and depth of social and health risk problems that may address the social drivers of HIV/AIDS in a fishing community in the East Coast of Peninsular, Malaysia. Methods: Five focus group discussions were held among selected villagers to gain their experiences and perception on social problems and HIV/

Single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) is a temperature sensitive device. Even a slight variation of temperature can cause unstable performance in quantum efficiency, responsitivity and dark counts. Due to these reasons,unstable temperature could cause overall poor performance of SPAD. It is common for thermoelectric cooler (TEC) to be used as coolin

The task of simulation is often complicated, and naive users often look for relatively easier solutions. In many cases, simulations are done with no visual output which makes them non-attractive. In this paper, we present ViSim; a new simulation tool that has a user-friendly graphical interface. ViSim could be useful for researchers, students, teac
