This book provides a timely review of learning style research. It examines those approaches that purport to promote effective learning. It affirms the need for instructors and trainers to recognize the importance of individual learning differences and to use methods that help create a learning climate which increases the potential learning for all students or trainees regardless of their preferred way of learning. The ability to understand and to teach to the various learning styles of students is essential to improving the effectiveness of college-level education. In this book, Sims and Sims bring together significant research to aid academics and organizational trainers in understanding and applying learning style research and knowledge to program, course, and class development.
7 Adapting Faculty and Student Learning Styles: Implications for Accounting
Education William T. Geary and Ronald R. Sims Few disciplines can match the
commitment to change in educational practices that is evidenced in accounting.
The process of change in accounting education is distinguished by both the
breadth and depth of the effort. Organizations such as the American Accounting
Association, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the
Institute of ...
Advanced System Modelling and Simulation with Block Diagram Languages explores and describes the use of block languages in dynamic modelling and simulation. The application of block diagrams to dynamic modelling is reviewed, not only in terms of known components and systems, but also in terms of the development of new systems. Methods by which block diagrams clarify the dynamic essence of systems and their components are emphasized throughout the book, and sufficient introductory material is included to elucidate the book's advanced material. Widely used continuous dynamic system simulation (CDSS) languages are analyzed, and their technical features are discussed. This self-contained resource includes a review section on block diagram algebra and applied transfer functions, both of which are important mathematical subjects, relevant to the understanding of continuous dynamic system simulation.
3.9 VisSim General Description VisSim is an advanced, easy to use, object-
oriented general purpose simulation language, originally designed for use with
MS Windows. As we pointed out before (Karayanakis, 1993), a tactical advantage
of VisSim (and other similar languages) emerges from its creation as a PC-based
product rather than as a conversion from mainframe software. In this context,
VisSim is a cutting-edge, powerful block diagram language with an outstanding
schematic ...
This volume constitutes the proceedings of the Fifth International Workshop on Field-Programmable Logic and Its Applications, FPL '95, held in Oxford, UK in August/September 1995. The volume presents 46 full revised papers carefully selected by the program committee from a large number and wide range of submissions. The papers document the progress achieved since the predecessor conference (see LNCS 849). They are organized in sections on architectures, platforms, tools, arithmetic and signal processing, embedded systems and other applications, and reconfigurable design and models.
The REDOC III algorithm for data ciphering is a potential replacement for DES.
This paper looks at ways of customising the algorithm to increase security without
reducing ciphering speed. Many valuable modifications are possible if
reconfigurable hardware is used.
