This document provides key quotations from chapters 1-7 of the novel "Heroes" by Robert Cormier. The quotations are analyzed and comments are made on what they reveal about the characters and plot. In the first chapter, it is established that the narrator Francis has returned from war disfigured. His interactions with others show he has low self-esteem and is trying to hide his identity. He mentions being in love with Nicole and having a gun for a mysterious mission. The flashbacks reveal Francis' admiration for his teacher Larry and the special bond between him, Nicole, and Larry, though Francis feels jealousy toward their closeness.

On 16 November 2011, Japan Embedded Systems Technology Association (JASA) announced that Platform Research Group of Engineering division has started work on the specification of OpenEL (Embedded Libraries) for Robot.
OpenEL for Robot is an open platform to standardize the specifications of the software implementation of robotics and control systems.
This is the Japanese version of the presentation materials that were presented at Embedded Technology 2011 in Japan. The English version is under construction.
The document introduces Lucene, Solr, and Nutch. It describes Lucene as a Java library for indexing and searching that is powerful and fast. It describes Solr as an HTTP-based index and search server with a web-based administration panel. It describes Nutch as Internet search engine software that includes a web crawler and is powerful for vertical search engines. It then provides instructions on installing Solr and includes an example of starting Solr, adding data to indexes, and demoing searching.
Special issue on Technology Enhanced LearningZHAO Sam
The editors invite scholarly articles on Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) to focus on the technological
support of any pedagogical approach that utilizes technology, to be considered for a special issue of the MEEM,
which is the official publication of the IEEE Education Society Student Activities Committee (ISSN
1558-7908) whose primary objective is to facilitate the publication of interesting, useful, and informative
material on all aspects of multidisciplinary engineering education for the benefit of students and young
educators.
The document proposes an architecture for a fast diagnosis system in an ubiquitous society. The system works as follows: (1) A mobile agent detects body disorders and automatically diagnoses the patient. (2) It collects health data from the patient including medical records and environmental factors. (3) It finds an appropriate doctor to analyze the data. (4) The agent provides diagnosis results to the doctor for confirmation and treatment. (5) It orders medicine or emergency services, and summarizes causes to avoid future illness. The system aims to detect issues early, find the best doctors, and deliver healthcare conveniently to patients.
Clustering: Large Databases in data miningZHAO Sam
The document discusses different approaches for clustering large databases, including divide-and-conquer, incremental, and parallel clustering. It describes three major scalable clustering algorithms: BIRCH, which incrementally clusters incoming records and organizes clusters in a tree structure; CURE, which uses a divide-and-conquer approach to partition data and cluster subsets independently; and DBSCAN, a density-based algorithm that groups together densely populated areas of points.
This document discusses various similarity measures that can be used to quantify the similarity between documents, queries, or a document and query in an information retrieval system. It describes classic measures like Dice coefficient, overlap coefficient, Jaccard coefficient, and cosine coefficient. It provides examples of calculating these measures and compares the relations between different measures. The document also discusses using term-document matrices and shows an example matrix.
What is the Covering (Rule-based) algorithm?
Classification Rules- Straightforward
1. If-Then rule
2. Generating rules from Decision Tree
Rule-based Algorithm
1. The 1R Algorithm / Learn One Rule
2. The PRISM Algorithm
3. Other Algorithm
Application of Covering algorithm
Discussion on e/m-learning application
A Real-Time Interactive Shared System for Distance LearningZHAO Sam
The greatest obstacle in developing distance learning system is the lack of real-time interaction. This paper provides a real-time interactive shared system for distance learning that combines the audio, video and seminar. The remote learners can study and exchange opinions with the instructor through this system in real time. After the test between Waseda University and Guilin University, we find that the system can well simulate traditional classroom and improve interaction among participators, which not only saves learners’ study time and improves their learning interests and efficiency, but also improves the teaching freedom of instructor for e-whiteboard is introduced.
