(Taylor & Francis, 2018-03)The aim of this study was to examine relationships between activPALTM-determined sedentary behavior (SB) and physical activity (PA) with academic achievement. A total of 120 undergraduates (N=57 female; 20.6 ± 2.3 years) ... -
Adaptive comparative judgement: a mechanism to enrich and enhance assessment practices to support teaching and learning.
(2017)One of the most fundamental and challenging aspects of pedagogical practices is assessment of student learning. Assessment mechanisms are adopted in response to a variety of agendas, such as providing a summative ‘grade’ ... -
Adaptive intent realisation (AIR) - inductive intent realisation through NLOP enabled intent matching
(Technological University of the Shannon: Midlands Midwest, 2023-09)There is a strong interest in designing systems that can simplify the interactions between humans and complex digital systems. Network Operators want more straightforward mechanisms to engage with their networks and ... -
Adaptive perceptual block compressive sensing for compression.
(Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers, 2016-06)Because the perceptual compressive sensing framework can achieve a much better performance than the legacy compressive sensing framework, it is very promising for the compressive sensing based image compression system. In ... -
An adaptive policy approach to video quality assurance.
(IEEE, 2018-12)Video in all its forms is probably the most important service carried on networks today and few would argue that video quality assurance is one of the most daunting network management challenges. Quite often, video ... -
