Application mapping is one of the most challenging issues in designing Network-on-Chips, playing an important role in maximizing the performance of NoC based systems. This paper presents a novel ...method to map applications onto a targeted NoC architecture using Improved Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization (IDPSO) algorithm. The NOXIM platform has been used to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed method in terms of latency, throughput, and power energy. The obtained results show that the proposed method can help the designers to get better performance for NoC based systems. This information is very useful for designers to decide how they should do in the next steps of designing a real-time system.
STEM has attracted great consideration. The purpose of research is: (1) study STEM education, (2) explore STEM education with the creative and experiential activity, (3) suggest applying STEM ...education by designing technical toys for the middle school student. This study used a qualitative approach to carry out teaching integration for STEM education. The study applied to teaching the technological field in Vietnamese middle schools. The design performed at the Faculty of Technology Education, Hanoi National University of Education, Vietnam in April 2015. This study used the integrated approach to design subjects for STEM education. Two procedures for integration undertook with analysis. A sample of producing technical toy was consistent with developing students competencies. Integrated approach to STEM education through designing technical toys is possible. Recently, there has been a booming interest in Integrated Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education, but the approaches to STEM still remains controversial in diverse educational contexts. This study addressed this issue by exploring STEM education with the use of creative and experiential activities in a Vietnamese educational context. It also proposed a practical model for integrating STEM into teaching technology in secondary schools by designing technical toys. The implementation of the practical model suggests the possibility in using the integrated approach to STEM education through designing technical toys for middle school students in Vietnam. By applying the subject knowledge domains to solve real world problems and settings, the students can experience the benefits of a concrete and active learning in a meaningful and practical context. The multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary integration approaches are consistent with the development of the students competencies.
Domain adaptation methods in machine learning deal with the domain shift issue by aligning source and target data representation. This paper proposes a novel domain adaptation method for semantic ...segmentation that exploits the Fourier transform on chromatic space to improve the quality of style transfer, and generates pseudo-labels for self-training by combining the results from different teachers obtained at different rounds of self-training. Our method also applies class-level adversarial learning to achieve a more fine-grained alignment between the two domains, and a late fusion with a depth-estimation model to improve its segmentation outputs. Experiments show that our method yields superior performance in terms of accuracy compared to other existing state-of-the-art methods.
La soixante-quatorzième Assemblée mondiale de la Santé en 2021 a souligné l'importance d'une coordination solide pour la recherche sur la santé publique et les mesures sociales. Le présent article ...décrit les efforts entrepris par l'Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS) pour élaborer un programme de recherche mondial sur l'utilisation des mesures de santé publique et des mesures sociales lors de situations d'urgence sanitaire. Ce travail comprend un processus en plusieurs étapes qui a commencé par une consultation technique mondiale organisée par l'OMS en septembre 2021. La consultation a réuni des experts du monde entier issus d'un large éventail de disciplines telles que la santé publique, l'éducation, le tourisme, la finance et les sciences sociales. Elle visait à identifier des approches de recherche et de mise en œuvre fondées sur les enseignements tirés de la pandémie de maladie à coronavirus de 2019. Pour se préparer aux futures épidémies et pandémies, il est essentiel d'adopter une approche de recherche plus solide, comparable et systématique en matière de santé publique et de mesures sociales. Cette approche globale permettra de mieux éclairer les décisions de mise en œuvre agiles, équilibrées et adaptées au contexte lors des futures situations d'urgence. Le présent article décrit les méthodes appliquées pour définir les priorités mondiales de recherche en matière de santé publique et de mesures sociales, ainsi que les prochaines étapes à franchir.
