Characterizing Internet Card User Portraits for Efficient Churn Prediction Model Design

Cellular Internet card (IC) as a new business model emerges, which penetrates rapidly and holds the potential to foster a great business market. However, with the explosive growth of IC users, the user churn problem becomes severe, affecting the IC business significantly, while there is lacking appropriate techniques in the literature to deal with the issue. In this paper, we take the lead to study one large-scale data set from a provincial network operator of China, which contains about 4 million IC users and 22 million traditional card (TC) users. We first justify the IC user churn issue with data, and categorize the user churning reasons. Then, we shed light on understanding user portraits, which is the building block to enable efficient model design. Particularly, we conduct a systematical analytics on usage data by studying the difference of two types of users, examining the impact of user properties, and characterizing the user Internet using behaviors. Finally, by using the IC user portraits and usage patterns, we propose an <underline xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">IC</u> user <underline xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">C</u> hurn <underline xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">P</u> rediction model, named <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">ICCP</i> , which consists of a feature extraction component and a learning-based churn prediction architecture design. For feature extraction, both the static portrait features and temporal sequential features are captured. In the learning architecture, we devise the principal component analysis (PCA) block and the embedding/transformer layers to learn the respective information of two types of features, which are collectively fed into the classification multilayer perceptron layer (MPL) for churn prediction.

An investigation of linked data catalogue features in libraries, archives, and museums: a checklist approach

PurposeIn this study, the distinctive functional features of linked data (LD) catalogues were investigated to contrast with existing online public access catalogues (OPACs) and discovery systems using a checklist approach. The checklist was derived from a literature review and is composed of 10 items as follows: self-descriptive and dynamic content for resource description, linkage to external LD sources and online services, aggregation of knowledge contexts into knowledge graphs (KGs), URI-based link discovery, representation and query of LD relationships, URI-based serendipitous discovery, keyword recommendation, faceted limitation and browsing, visualization and openness of data.Design/methodology/approachTen functional features derived from the literature were checked against existing LD catalogues offered by libraries, archives and museums (LAMs). The LD catalogues were regarded as qualified subjects if they offered functional features that were distinct from current OPACs and discovery systems through URI-based enrichment and aggregation from various LD sources. In addition to individual organizations, LD union catalogues were also included. However, LD hubs, such as ISNI, OCLC WorldCat Entities, VIAF and Wikidata, were excluded. In total, six LD catalogues from LAMs were selected as subjects for examination.FindingsFirst, LD catalogues provide similar KG information through URI combination, and KGs also facilitate information serendipity, including social-document, intellectual, conceptual, spatial and temporal contexts and networks of corporate bodies, persons and families (CPFs). Second, LD catalogues have transformed the “seek first and browse later” paradigm into a “seek or browse” paradigm by refreshing the browsing function of traditional card catalogues with preview and new options to facilitate LD identification and discovery. Third, LD catalogues have refined keyword recommendation with the addition of the following fields: person’s title, CPF relationships, entity type and LD source. Lastly, a virtual union LD catalogue is offered.Research limitations/implicationsThe proposed checklist revealed the unique/improved functional features of LD catalogues, allowing further investigation and comparison. More cases from the fields of medicine, engineering science and so on will be required to make revisions to fine-tune the proposed checklist approach.Originality/valueTo the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first study to propose a checklist of functional features for LD catalogues and examine what the results and features of LD catalogues have achieved and are supported by from ontologies across LAMs. The findings suggest that LD provides a viable alternative to catalogues. The proposed checklist and results pave the way for the future development of LD catalogues and next-generation catalogues and also provide a basis for the future study of LD catalogues from other fields to refine the proposed checklist.

Card clothing with spatially morphological teeth and their application verification on carding machine

In this study, we prepared two kinds of card clothing for the licker-in and the main cylinder with spatially morphological features on their teeth. They are designed to reduce the fibre damage and improve the fibre carding efficiency by setting their teeth with a preset-inclination angle (W-R) or a misaligned arrangement (M-CC). We conducted experiments to explore their respective functions and found that they have potential applications when combined. We also performed experiments to verify this hypothesis. To evaluate the carding performance, we proposed a carding evaluation system that includes the energy consumption, fibre utilization and the quality of slivers and yarns. According to the individual experiments on W-R and M-CC, they both showed good performance on sliver neps and short fibre removal, and yarn properties. And their improvements on yarns show well complementarity. When compared with the control group (the traditional card clothing combination, labelled as W0M0), their combination (W1M1) performed better at relatively higher output speeds. It helped to reduce nep number, short fibre content (6–10%) in slivers, with significantly higher carding forces (reflected by energy consumption) and higher fibre utilization ratios (1.02–1.60%). In yarn quality, the W1M1 had improvements on evenness (0.47–0.55%), yarn faults (including thin and thick places of ±50% and +200% neps), hairiness values (0.19–5.73%), strength (5.91–7.82%), which verify the compounding effect of these two kinds of card clothing.

Double air suctioned carding process: A method for achieving improved quality ring-spun carded yarn

This study aims to maximize yarn realization by minimizing hard waste generation. A new method has been evaluated in a conventional carding machine for this purpose by adding extra air suction units immediately above the doffer and in the brush roller above the stripping roller. Various yarn samples were spun using the double air suction carding (DASC) method and the traditional carding process, and the yarn quality parameters were compared. The results indicated that the DASC yarn had considerable technical improvements in all yarn characteristics (U%, CVm%, thick place, thin place, neps, hairiness) and mechanical properties (breaking strength and elongation). The number of classimat faults in the DASC yarn has also significantly decreased. Even though the DASC technique produced more droppings-1, it generated less pneumafil and hard waste, resulting in improved yarn realization. This research also examined cost analysis, advantages, and limitations. Overall, the findings indicate that the newly introduced DASC yarn has the potential to be a superior product in terms of both quality and cost.

Interactive Somatosensory Games in Rehabilitation Training for Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment: Usability Study.

BackgroundIn aging societies, dementia risk increases with advancing age, increasing the incidence of dementia-related degenerative diseases and other complications, especially fall risk. Dementia also escalates the care burden, impacting patients, their families, social welfare institutions, and the social structure and medical system.ObjectiveIn elderly dementia, traditional card recognition rehabilitation (TCRR) does not effectively increase one’s autonomy. Therefore, from the usability perspective, we used the Tetris game as a reference to develop an interactive somatosensory game rehabilitation (ISGR) with nostalgic style for elders with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Through intuitive gesture-controlled interactive games, we evaluated subjective feelings concerning somatosensory game integration into rehabilitation to explore whether the ISGR could improve the willingness to use and motivation for rehabilitation among elders with MCI.MethodsA total of 15 elders with MCI (7 males and 8 females with an average age of 78.4 years) underwent 2 experiments for 15 minutes. During experiment 1, TCRR was performed, followed by completing the questionnaire of the System Usability Scale (SUS). After 3-5 minutes, the second experiment (the ISGR) was conducted, followed by completing another SUS. We used SUS to explore differences in impacts of TCRR and ISGR on willingness to use among elders with MCI. In addition, we further investigated whether the factor of gender or prior rehabilitation experience would affect the rehabilitation willingness or not.ResultsThe novel ISGR made the elderly feel interested and improved their willingness for continuous rehabilitation. According to the overall SUS score, the ISGR had better overall usability performance (73.7) than the TCRR (58.0) (t28=–4.62, P<.001). Furthermore, the ISGR individual item scores of “Willingness to Use” (t28=–8.27, P<.001), “Easy to Use” (t28=–3.17, P<.001), “System Integration” (t28=–5.07, P<.001), and “Easy to Learn” (t28=–2.81, P<.001) were better than TCRR. The somatosensory game was easier to learn and master for females than for males (t13=2.71, P=.02). Besides, the ISGR was easier to use (t12=–2.50, P=.02) and learn (t14=–3.33, P<.001) for those without prior rehabilitation experience. The result indicates that for elders with no rehabilitation experience ISGR was easier to use and simpler to learn than TCRR.ConclusionsRegardless of prior rehabilitation experience, the ISGR developed in this study was easy to learn and effective in continuously improving willingness to use. Furthermore, the adoption of a nostalgic game design style served the function of cognitive training and escalated interest in rehabilitation. The ISGR also improved user stickiness by introducing different game scenarios and difficulties, increasing long-term interest and motivation for rehabilitation. For future research on the adoption of interactive somatosensory games in rehabilitation, additional rehabilitation movements can be developed to benefit the elderly with MCI.

Multi-Scale Normalization Method Combined With a Deep CNN Diagnosis Model of Dynamometer Card in SRP Well

There are more than 20 types of dynamometer card measured of sucker rod pumping (SRP) wells in oil fields, and some working conditions are very complicated. The common diagnosis model of SRP well based on dynamometer card recognition has low accuracy and recall rate of complicated working conditions. In order to improve the accuracy and recall rate of multi-condition diagnosis of SRP well and solve the problem of inseparable data attributes caused by traditional dynamometer card normalization methods, a new dynamometer card preprocessing method is proposed, which uses a clustering analysis algorithm to obtain multiple normalized dynamometer cards of the original dynamometer card and at the same time, adds a set of time-series dynamometer cards to enhance the separability of data. The dynamometer card preprocessing method combined with four deep convolutional neural networks are used to build a diagnosis model. Experiments are conducted under 24 different working conditions, the accuracy of our method is up to 95.8%, and the average recall rate of complicated working conditions is up to 93.1%, which is 13.6 and 35.3% higher than that of the model (AlexNet) built by the traditional preprocessing method. In addition, the preprocessing method of dynamometer card proposed is applicable to all deep learning models and machine learning models. Field applications show that our method is very effective for recalling abnormal working conditions, which is of great significance to the real demand for intelligent diagnosis of SRP well.

A Conservative Metric of Power Creep

Collectible card games are taking up more space in popular culture with traditional paper card games even embracing e-sports. However, longevity in such games is not as common, with some suspecting power creep as a culprit behind why some of these games fail. Yet, Magic: the Gathering has not just survived but thrived for over 25 years with the game’s designers publicly stating their aim to keep curbing power creep. Therefore, it is of interest to determine the rate of power creep in the game. Herein, we formally define a conservative metric power creep and calculate its occurrence in the game of Magic: the Gathering. Although having an increasing rate, power creep appears low with an average of 1.56 strictly better card faces released per year.

A Digital Cash Paradigm with Valued and No-Valued e-Coins

Digital cash is a form of money that is stored digitally. Its main advantage when compared to traditional credit or debit cards is the possibility of carrying out anonymous transactions. Diverse digital cash paradigms have been proposed during the last decades, providing different approaches to avoid the double-spending fraud, or features like divisibility or transferability. This paper presents a new digital cash paradigm that includes the so-called no-valued e-coins, which are e-coins that can be generated free of charge by customers. A vendor receiving a payment cannot distinguish whether the received e-coin is valued or not, but the customer will receive the requested digital item only in the former case. A straightforward application of bogus transactions involving no-valued e-coins is the masking of consumption patterns. This new paradigm has also proven its validity in the scope of privacy-preserving pay-by-phone parking systems, and we believe it can become a very versatile building block in the design of privacy-preserving protocols in other areas of research. This paper provides a formal description of the new paradigm, including the features required for each of its components together with a formal analysis of its security.

Lively Roots: How the Grand Rapids Public Library Found Its Footing in the Early Years

Lively Roots:How the Grand Rapids Public Library Found Its Footing in the Early Years Colleen Alles A few days before Christmas, on December 21, 2021, the Grand Rapids Public Library will celebrate a big birthday: its sesquicentennial—150 years of providing a library free to all. Few things can last a century and a half without being open to change. This public library, established in a city that, in the 1870s, was in some ways a rival to Detroit, survived in part due to the inclusion of one key idea: a willingness to grow—changing and adjusting its operations to fit whatever the community needed at the time, and in how it could best serve its patrons in the face of logistical constraints and realities.1 Founded in 1871, the Grand Rapids Public Library (GRPL) has been a beacon in a west Michigan city with its own rich history and place as the second largest city in the state. The idea for the GRPL began several years after the end of the Civil War, when members of the Grand Rapids Board of Education agreed to combine their book holdings with those of two other organizations—the Ladies Literary Association (known then as the Ladies Library Association) and the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA).2 A library committee hired the first librarian, Miss Frances Holcomb, at an annual salary of $500, and the library was born.3 The history of the GRPL involves a number of evolutions—everything from introducing the Dewey Decimal System and eschewing traditional card catalogs for online platforms, to streaming audiobooks directly to patrons' devices. Julie Tabberer, the current head of the GRPL History & Special Collections department, notes how "the things that [End Page 127] Click for larger view View full resolution An entry from the 1872-73 Grand Rapids city directory shows the first appearance of the Grand Rapids Public Library, humbly listed among residents and businesses in the "L" section. Source: J. D. Dillenback, ed., Godfrey's Annual City Directory of Grand Rapids, Mich, 1872-3 (Grand Rapids: Daily Eagle Steam Printing House, 1872), 157. we've provided access to have changed over the years, but [access is] a constant."4 The story of the GRPL as told through its branches makes it clear that above all—and despite many types of circumstances—the library has demonstrated a commitment to growing and changing along with its city. What began above a dry goods store downtown evolved into a large institution that serves thousands of patrons annually. The library piloted branches early in the twentieth century when the idea of branches was new. It embraced traveling branches and bookmobiles when budget concerns made operating hours tricky in the 1950s. Through two world wars, the Great Depression, pandemics, economic hardships, and tumultuous social change—hallmarks of the twentieth century—the GRPL opened new branches, closed branches when circumstances dictated, and, overall, ensured its citizens access to a free library, guaranteeing a legacy of inclusion that the city hopes will endure for years to come. Impermanent Spaces In the early years, the GRPL called several downtown spaces home, changing locations every few years. Those spots included a room above a dry goods store, space in the prominent Ledyard Building, and several rooms inside city hall. [End Page 128] Click for larger view View full resolution This was the first home of the Grand Rapids Public Library. The library was on the second floor of H. Leonard and Sons dry goods store, seen here as the second building from the left. Source: Collection 18, George E. Fitch Collection, box 3, folder 3, image 248, Grand Rapids Public Library History & Special Collections, Grand Rapids Public Library (hereafter GRPL). The population of Grand Rapids when the library opened its doors in 1871 was approximately 16,000. "Like other cities across the nation, Grand Rapids had a hodgepodge of libraries and book collections, but the system stood in unconnected pieces, awaiting the glue that would fit them together," noted former city historian Gordon L. Olson.5 Print books were, of course, in addition to being more precious than perhaps they are today, available via school libraries and through the Grand...

И.А. Бунин в межвоенной Польше. Несостоявшееся турне

The following paper explores the reception of Ivan Bunin’s literary legacy in the interwar Poland. The question of how The Nobel Prize in Literature influenced the writer’s popularity in Poland. The main aim of this article is to analyze and characterize those circumstances, which became the reason for Bunin’s failure to visit Poland during his literary tour to the Baltic countries in 1938. Selected materials were taken from traditional card and online catalogues in the National Library of Poland and the University of Warsaw Library. They embrace the period from 1920 to 1940. The analysis, on the one hand, shows the problem of political relationships between the revived Polish state and young Soviet Russia and its role in the development of literary contacts in the interwar period. On the other hand, it allows us to draw conclusions about the political and literary dimensions of I. Bunin’s failed tour to Poland.

Картографирование оползней и оползневых процессов Узбекистана методом пластики рельефа (на примере Чирчикского бассейна)

Combating the effects of landslides involves finding low-cost solutions to prevent damage from landslide processes. One of the effective and inexpensive methods to reduce the negative impact of landslides is to compile maps of the susceptibility of the territory to landslides. Mapping areas at risk of massive landslide displacement contributes to informed decisions about investments and permits for the construction of industrial facilities and residential buildings in such areas, reducing future losses. An analysis of published materials on landslide processes and phenomena shows the variety of methods used to study, evaluate and predict them. However, despite the many methods used, most studies boil down to the application of traditional landslide data processing methods. To study landslide processes, we propose a relief plastic method. This method allows, based on the conversion of contour lines of topographic maps in combination with field research materials (geological, geomorphological, geophysical, etc.), to identify the boundaries of “lithodynamic flows”, i.e. outline the spatial boundaries of the formation, transit and accumulation of landslide process products. The aim of our research was to show the possibility of using a relief plastic map in detailing the nature of the movement of a landslide-slope and establishing localization sites for landslide plots. Mapped material in combination with field routes to the landslide support areas of Chimgansaya, located in the upper part of the Chirchik river valley, confirmed the contours of the development of landslide processes. On the basis of a thorough analysis and transformations by the method of second derivatives of the contours of the topographic maps, the convexity and concavity of the relief were identified, which together form lithodynamic flows that create a spatial heterogeneity of the relief forms. The map also shows the direction and spatial boundaries of landslide flows. The information received is new, which is not detected by traditional cards.

An Emphasis of Digital Wallets for E-Commerce Transactions

Payment is one of the main parts of the business. Since from the last decade, the use of mobile devices for electronic payment has increased significantly. The current generation of individual payment systems that is replaced the traditional smart cards by mobile devices supplied with E-wallet and M-wallet functions. The spread of such E-wallet systems will depend on their security, functionality ease of use and the effectiveness of realization. E-wallet is a utility which offers users to save their money and make payments anywhere and all time. Many banks and nonbanks organizations are contesting to develop new on this filed. As customers adopt E-wallet and M-wallet. As customers adopt E-wallet and M-wallet, they becoming a cybercrime target. E-wallet provides a monetary action through smartphones which is fruitful freedom for electronic crimes. Quality of the system, quality of service and quality of information has to improve by the mobile wallet service providers for their M-wallet applications.

Creating algorithmic audio-visual narratives through the use of augmented reality prints

Abstract This article investigates the hypothesis of creating non-linear audio-visual narratives, through an unanticipated use of traditional print-based games, enriched with videos, via augmented reality (AR) possibilities. A ludic system has been created and presented. Based on a traditional card game, a non-linear cinematic narrative occurs. We attempt to examine the following questions: in which way can we bring together different forms of visual communication, such as graphic design and video? Can the above forms create a complex narrative whole and what kind of rules will be needed for this? How can we enrich traditional forms of gaming with the potentials of AR? Gaming itself demands a set of rules. Can these rules play the role of algorithms in the combined universe that we have designed and created? In which way can the designer on the one hand and the user on the other influence the overall output of the system? What will the user experience be like? The printed card system chosen for this is Tarot and more precisely the Great Arcana, which makes use of the 22 fundamental Tarot figures.

Three-dimensional numerical simulation of air flow and fiber dynamic in carding region in carding machine

Regular cylinder metallic card clothing has a limited carding efficiency. As a result of the limited dimensions, any measurement between the cylinder and flat area is difficult to make. In this study, an approach is first proposed to simulate the flow field and a fiber finite-element model on the moving surface of the teeth and produce a new design of misaligned-teeth card clothing, with the aim of improving the carding efficiency. A comparison is made between regular and misaligned-teeth card clothing types with respect to flow field simulation and fiber mechanical properties. The results show that the force resulting from the tangential velocity between the cylinder and flat is as great as 1.86 × 10−3 N, sufficient to pull fiber out of tufts, and that the tangential velocity (from 3880 to 2500 mm/s) plays a major role in this area, as opposed to the axial velocity (from 0 to 190 mm/s). Through this comparison, the misalignment design can result in a different tangential velocity distribution from that of traditional card clothing, which helps fibers between two lines of teeth move into neighboring lines of teeth, thereby increasing the likelihood that fibers will be carded. For fiber mechanical analysis, different air forces are loaded on fibers. This comparison shows that for fibers in the channel, the misalignment can help fibers move toward the teeth. Therefore, this misaligned-teeth card clothing is thought to prove more effective in practice.

Using interactive maps as a newest approach in the organization of teaching geography at modern school

The purpose of this article is to highlight some aspects of the introduction of interactive maps into the educational process as a means of learning, as well as means of managing the educational process and ensuring professional activity of teachers. The lack of a common approach to the development of methods of teaching geography, practical courses based on interactive maps, can be considered as the main methodological problem of teaching this discipline. Editorial preparation of interactive maps with its own characteristics requires additional research along with the traditional works of preparation of maps for publication. The main material. In recent years, the question of the use of new computer technologies and electronic means of education in General education institutions has become more and more common. A high degree of clarity of the presented material, the relationship of various components of courses, complexity and dialogue make interactive geographical maps indispensable helpers of the teacher. Interactive maps allow you to increase the level of geography teaching at the expense of better information of maps while ensuring simplicity and ease of cartographic material perception. When creating interactive maps, developers need to take into account some prerequisites: available software for the development, updating and operation of interactive maps; analysis of the volume of cartographic and text information, the number of layers, possibility of combining thematic information of different topics. Any cartographic guide requires the inclusion of illustrative material in the content. Interactive maps are sometimes called substitutes for paper wall maps and predict their dominance in the classroom. Demonstration and functionality of them is much higher than that of paper. The interactive map provides cartographic information, the content of which is presented in layers with the ability to manage different layers of thematic information and minor content editing. Conclusions and further research. Modern educational trends show that there is a main and quite interesting task before teachers-geographers: to increase the interest of pupils to study their subject through the activation of cognitive activity in the classroom. And it is possible only when the teacher competently builds teaching, using new information technologies. In the development of interactive maps, the main problem is great complexity, the need to attract highly qualified specialists. Using interactive maps in geography lessons is a significant step forward. They not only facilitate the work of the teacher, but also encourage schoolchildren to better study the subject. But we must not forget about the traditional paper cards. It is desirable to combine paper and interactive maps, which will develop a harmonious cartographic competence or geographic literacy among those who study.

Comparative Study of OPAC, Web-OPAC and AIRPAC: Next Generation of Online Library Catalogues

The Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC) changed the traditional card cataloguing trends in libraries. In the latest trend, library cataloguing information can be entered into the library integrated software and then the essential library information can be searched directly by OPAC system in the standard format. Nowadays, user can search for information on web via WEBOPAC and most recently, search in palm devices through AIRPAC anytime (24x7), during the day-night and from anywhere in the world. This study describes current trends, as well as the possibilities of the future library online public access catalogue and illuminated comparative study i.e. features, advantages, capabilities, requirement, development, limitation and many other things between OPAC, Web OPAC and Airpac library catalogues.

РАСШИРЕНИЕ ИНФОРМАЦИОННОЙ ЕМКОСТИ ТРАДИЦИОННЫХ КАРТ С ПОМОЩЬЮ QR-КОДОВ

Despite a good enough degree so traditional printed maps, however you can still find new ways to increase information card capacity and thus partially resolve the existing contradiction between the clarity and readability of the maps. One such way is to use QR code technology. The article describes the basic features of QR codes, to ensure that the interest in this technology. The research identified a number of advantages of using QR codes when creating traditional cards. Technology research with the use of QR codes in cartography has both scientific and practical value in terms of creating traditional cards for various content and destination.

A METHODOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK FOR MEASURING THE LEVEL OF CONVENIENCE OF TRANSPORT TICKETING SYSTEMS

Public transport sustainability is becoming a major driver for public transport development. Public transport ridership represents one of the key performance indicators of sustainability in the sense of balancing the economic, social and environmental aspects of public transport. There are various methods for improving the attractiveness of public transport for passengers by reducing resistances, which discourage potential and existing passengers to use public transport. Transport ticketing is one of the methods. This article presents a methodological framework for evaluating transport ticketing technologies with the use of a transport ticketing convenience model developed by the authors as well as some survey results through the application of the developed framework on traditional smart ticketing and contactless payment card ticketing technologies. First, a methodological framework for modelling ticketing convenience based on end-to-end passenger experience is presented. Second, a ticketing convenience model for barrier-free and double-sided validation baseline ticketing systems is developed. Third, the ticketing system based on contactless bank payment cards is compared with traditional smart ticketing systems in terms of convenience. It is shown that a contactless payment cards ticketing system has greater convenience or a better, more seamless travel experience than traditional smart systems. Finally, some research perspectives on enhancing the ticketing convenience model by using mobile smartphones with NFC, BLE and GPS technology, as well as the inclusion of technologies related to ticketing such as passenger information systems into the model, are contemplated.

Effects of response options on the mathematics performance of secondary students with emotional or behavioral disorders

ABSTRACTThis study examined the effects of three response options (traditional responding, response cards, and response systems) on the mathematics performance, participation, and time on-task of secondary students with emotional or behavioral disorders (EBD). A three-way crossover design was utilized to evaluate the efficacy of response options in secondary mathematics classrooms. Thirty-three students with EBD attending an urban high school and their teachers served as participants. Results indicated that the use of response cards (white boards) or response systems (ActivResponders) significantly increased students’ mathematics performance, participation, and time on-task when compared to traditional responding. Further, the use of response cards resulted in significant increases in performance and response accuracy over the increases found when using response systems. Social validity data indicated that students and teachers felt they benefited from the use of response cards and systems. Limitations, discussions, and implications for practice and future research are presented.
