Design and application of airport data storage under an information security optimization system

Abstract With the advancement of technology, the “partial construction” model is no longer able to meet the current information requirements of the aviation industry. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a complete “global informatization”, that is, an airport data center, which comprehensively includes multiple production management systems within the airport group, achieves information sharing, data analysis, and intelligent decision-making, thereby enabling the airport to achieve more accurate and reliable comprehensive economic and socially sustainable development. The current network storage technology often generates massive amounts of data when processing it, which leads to an increase in storage cycles and a decrease in storage performance. On this basis, the FPGA interface in FLASH chips was studied and analyzed in detail. On this basis, the FPGA receiving module is used to accurately receive and filter the massive data obtained, and convert it into high-quality FLASH format for daily use and maintenance. By analyzing the three-layer architecture, a large-scale network data storage solution based on the three-layer architecture is proposed. Finally, an implementation scheme for a new distributed storage system based on this model is presented, and simulation results are provided.

Development of a video streaming module for Moodle

We have developed a video streaming module for Moodle. This module has three functions. The one is an uploading function for recorded video files to Moodle. The second is a video format transcoding function. This function can transcode from 14 major video formats to flash format, automatically. The third is a video playing function with embedded video player. We have recorded lectures of a subject through one semester for evaluation of the module. We have provided recorded videos as a material for lecture reviewing of students via Moodle. Results of questionnaires show our module is effective for students’ study.

GATE: software for the analysis and visualization of high-dimensional time series expression data

We present Grid Analysis of Time series Expression (GATE), an integrated computational software platform for the analysis and visualization of high-dimensional biomolecular time series. GATE uses a correlation-based clustering algorithm to arrange molecular time series on a two-dimensional hexagonal array and dynamically colors individual hexagons according to the expression level of the molecular component to which they are assigned, to create animated movies of systems-level molecular regulatory dynamics. In order to infer potential regulatory control mechanisms from patterns of correlation, GATE also allows interactive interroga-tion of movies against a wide variety of prior knowledge datasets. GATE movies can be paused and are interactive, allowing users to reconstruct networks and perform functional enrichment analyses. Movies created with GATE can be saved in Flash format and can be inserted directly into PDF manuscript files as interactive figures. GATE is available for download and is free for academic use from http://amp.pharm.mssm.edu/maayan-lab/gate.htm

How Rich-Media Video Technology Boosts Branding Goals

ABSTRACT Why use rich media in brand campaigns? More than 4,000 online campaigns in Dynamic Logic9s MarketNorms® database were compared to identify the brand impact of those campaigns that used rich media as compared to those that used “simple” Flash and image formats. Delta scores for the campaigns were compared across five branding metrics. Results indicated that campaigns using rich-media formats generally had stronger branding effects compared to campaigns using GIF/JPG and “simple” Flash formats. Campaigns using rich-media advertisements with video features showed the strongest performance. The results suggest new strategies for improving brand campaign performance based on advertising format choice.

JIME - The Open Learning Initiative: Measuring the Effectiveness of the OLI Statistics Course in Accelerating Student Learning

The Open Learning Initiative (OLI) is an open educational resources project at Carnegie Mellon University that began in 2002 with a grant from The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. OLI creates web-based courses that are designed so that students can learn effectively without an instructor. In addition, the courses are often used by instructors to support and complement face-to-face classroom instruction. Our evaluation efforts have investigated OLI courses’ effectiveness in both of these instructional modes – stand-alone and hybrid. This report documents several learning effectiveness studies that were focused on the OLI-Statistics course and conducted during Fall 2005, Spring 2006, and Spring 2007. During the Fall 2005 and Spring 2006 studies, we collected empirical data about the instructional effectiveness of the OLI-Statistics course in stand-alone mode, as compared to traditional instruction. In both of these studies, in-class exam scores showed no significant difference between students in the stand-alone OLI-Statistics course and students in the traditional instructor-led course. In contrast, during the Spring 2007 study, we explored an accelerated learning hypothesis, namely, that learners using the OLI course in hybrid mode will learn the same amount of material in a significantly shorter period of time with equal learning gains, as compared to students in traditional instruction. In this study, results showed that OLI-Statistics students learned a full semester’s worth of material in half as much time and performed as well or better than students learning from traditional instruction over a full semester.

Vereinfachte Herstellung multimedialer radiologischer Lernobjekte mit dem Flash-Format

Evaluation of the applicability of the Flash Format for the production of radiological learning objects used in an e-learning environment. Five exemplary learning objects with different didactic purposes referring to radiological diagnostics are presented. They have been intended for the use within the multimedia, internet-based e-learning environment LaMedica. Interactive learning objects were composed using the Flash 5.0 software (Macromedia, San Francisco, USA) on the basis of digital CT and MR images, digitized conventional radiographs and different graphical elements prepared as TIFF files or in a vector graphics format. After a short phase of initial skill adaptation training, a radiologist author was soon able to create independently all learning objects. The import of different types of images and graphical elements was carried out without complications. Despite manifold design options, handling of the program is easy due to clear arrangement and structure, thus enabling the creation of simple as well as complex learning objects that provided a high degree of attractiveness and interaction. Data volume and bandwidth demand for online use was significantly reduced by the Flash Format compression without a substantial loss of visual quality. The universally compatible Flash Format offers an opportunity for the simple production of radiological learning objects that fulfill all relevant needs of modern internet based e-learning environments, such as interactivity, employment of multimedia and convertibility.
