The present paper investigates the gender perspective of flipped classroom. In particular, it considers how the collaborative setting of in-class group-work affect the female population of students. The paper draws on an in-depth analysis of the interview with one such student. The focus of this interview was on interactional collaboration between peers during group work activities in a ...

It has been a paradigm shift for the aquaculture industry in the current parallel era of circular economy, green shift, and Industry 4.0. As one of the world’s largest industries with a long-lasting and significant influence on global prosperity, national economy, food safety, and public health, the importance of sustainability of the aquaculture industry cannot be underestimated. One of the challenges ...

Reverse logistics is believed to be one of the most promising solutions for capturing the remaining values from used products and has been extensively focused by both academics and practitioners during the past two decades. Conceptual framework, mathematical programming and computational algorithms have been developed for decision making at strategic, tactical and operational levels of a reverse ...

This thesis discusses the process of implementing and testing of a creative web element design system using a combination of genetic algorithms and K-nearest neighbor classification. Classification will be used as a learning mechanism to give the system the ability to absorb quality measures in regards to visual aesthetics, and utilize this knowledge to evaluate generated designs. In addition, some ...

In applications for technical problems, Geometric modeling and sensor technology are key in both scientific and industrial development. Simulations and visualization techniques are the next step after defining geometry models and data types. This thesis attempts to combine different aspects of geometric modeling and sensor technology as well as to facilitate simulation and visualization. It includes ...

The concept of Green Building refers to environmentally friendly constructions with the target of minimizing the impact on the natural environment through sustainable and efficient use of resources over their life cycle. Since modern buildings are large contributors to global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, policies and international strategies intended to reduce the carbon footprint ...

Green Buildings are defined as environmental-friendly buildings aimed at minimizing the impact on the natural environment through a sustainable and efficient use of resources over their life-cycle. This is, perhaps, a recently-introduced building concept that is increasingly gaining attention due to the policies and strategies intended to reduce the carbon footprint of conventional buildings, which ...
