Query suggestions (QS) tailored specifically for children are slowly gaining research attention in response to the growth in Internet use by children. Even though QS offered by popular search engines adequately meet the information needs of the general public, they do not achieve equivalent effectiveness from a child's perspective. This is because children's search behaviors, interests, cognitive...
This study examined disease models most indicative of risk of Long QT Syndrome (LQTS) in children. Data mined from electronic health records of children confirmed with (n=248) and without (n=101) a diagnosis of LQTS were used to develop a patient profile for LQTS. The profile consisted of 44 distinct features, 17 of which were enriched in LQTS patients. Notably, 66.9% of subjects with a diagnosis...
Knowledge of English in the Philippines is important not only in the work place, but as well as in education. English is the primary language of instruction in the Philippines, even in public schools. Students who have difficulty understanding English will also have trouble with the other subjects like Science and Math. However, there is a lack of qualified English school teachers, particularly in...
Scooter is a small toy which is driven by users' feet. It's popular among children at different ages. We should take human factors into account during design process. The sizes of scooter must adapt to those of a certain age group of children. In this paper we put forward a methodology on structure design based on human factors, then we build a three dimensional parametric model of a scooter for ergonomic...
This paper investigates and analysis the psychological state and the basic physiological characteristics of children and analysis the situation of children's chair in the domestic and international market; illustrate the type and the advantage and disadvantage of children's chair by mixed forms, focus on the classification of famous foreign brand of children's chair and with this as the baseline of...
Objective: The study obtains gait feature of children with spastic cerebral palsy (SCP) by analysis of temporal and spatial parameters in stable walking and gait initiation (GI). Method: 24 children with SCP and 18 normally-developing (ND) children were tested by three-dimensional gait analysis system with normal walking speed. Velocity, duration, single support phase (SSP), double support phase (DSP),...
The goals of the current study were to investigate relations between children's social behavior, peer relationship, perceived social competence and loneliness, multi-mediation between social behavior and loneliness, and analyze constructs of different levels in peer interaction with a sample of 430 children from Grade 4 to Grade 6. The results showed that: there are significant gender and grade differences...
Constructional ability is a necessary part of everyday functioning for adults and children alike. In children, the need for adequate levels of constructional ability is evident during both recreational and school activities. PlayCubes is a dynamic tool that supports monitoring a variety of the perceptual-motor processes needed while children perform constructional tasks. PlayCubes is based on ActiveCube...
It is an accepted fact that children are easy to impress but hard to content. Unlike adults, children have such a dynamic like and dislike patterns. Even though it is not clear why children cannot cling to one idea for a longer period of time it is obvious that their curiosity tempts to experience a bit of everything. While competing with the dynamic nature of child's mind this research extends the...
Recent studies in education for children with autism demonstrated that computer assisted learning can increase children's narrative understanding. However, software interfaces which include autonomous intelligent agents have yet to be explored in this context. In this paper we investigate how a narrative storytelling environment which is populated with virtual characters may help children with autism...
Virtual reality is a recent technology incorporated in upper extremity therapy programs for children with cerebral palsy. However, the systems currently being used cannot be graded to meet the skill level of children with cerebral palsy who have severely impaired upper extremities. These systems are often expensive, making them impractical for the clinical and home settings. ldquoHands-Uprdquo was...
The recent researches in the realm of virtual learning environments have revealed how children can positively contribute in the design process. Comicboarding is a participatory designed method that involves the use of comic books and drawings to produce believable and engaging scenarios with children. Researchers can elicit ideas from children by leveraging known plot formats, interaction styles and...
The Internet is filled with opportunities for learning, communicating, and sharing information. It is a valuable resource for children and adults alike. Like any large community, however, the online world presents some underlying risks, especially for children. Parents need to be aware of some of the potential problems their children could encounter, and try to take adequate measures to protect their...
The growing significance of the internet in our lives raises many questions for parents, such as access and inequalities, the nature and quality of use, the implications for education, family life and social relationships and the balance between online risks and opportunities, In this paper, data mining will be applied to discover the relationship between Internet, parents and children by classification,...
