Multidisciplinary Science and Advanced Technologies


Book Description

"Multidisciplinary Science and Advanced Technologies form a vast and diverse class of the engineering science and research divisions. This book discusses novel design techniques and smart mechanisms, as well as innovations that might be utilized in the future. Scientific modification can control industrial-scale assembly, a process that ultimately provides specific material function, depending on electronic development for advancements. Furthermore, the combination of supramolecular multidisciplinary technologies allows for the exploration of application-based materials. Smart materials are vital for the in-depth analysis of various morphologies. This book is an international forum for comprehensive soft-condensed matter physics, nanoscience principles, nanotechnology tools, and nanotechnology applications in the environmental, energy, and electronics sector, including a discussion of ethical issues in these fields. This book reviews the applications and market potential of a variety of media, including mirror, glazing, and display products, such as low-information content displays for banners and labels. The physicist, chemical engineer, materials scientist, nanotechnologist, and biologist at all levels, as well as academicians for unique device-based applications in various fields, will benefit from this book. Readers will gain an understanding of the practical and highly sensitive business fields for specific disciplinarians. The goal is to provide readers a broad review from a materials perspective, so that teachers can provide a comprehensive review of this technology to students. This book also highlights the entire gamut of smart engineering technologies and the materials design process of fabrications from past to present and future perspectives. The syllabi of various technical universities and research institutes are examined, explaining the basic perceptions of this emerging field. In science today, the major focus of research and development in synthetic materials and spectroscopic analysis broadly deals with materials on the atomic and molecular scales. The vision for the future is to move beyond these already existing applications and explore new realms of electronic applications"--

Multidisciplinary Methods in Educational Technology Research and Development


Book Description

Over the past thirty years, there has been much dialogue, and debate, about the conduct of educational technology research and development. In this brief volume, the author helps clarify that dialogue by theoretically and empirically charting the research methods used in the field and provides much practical information on how to conduct educational technology research. Within this text, readers can expect to find answers to the following questions: (a) What are the methodological factors that need to be taken into consideration when designing and conducting educational technology research? (b) What types of research questions do educational technology researchers tend to ask? (c) How do educational technology researchers tend to conduct research? (d) What approaches do they use? What variables do they examine? What types of measures do they use? How do they report their research? (d) How can the state of educational technology research be improved? In addition to answering the questions above, the author, a research methodologist, provides practical information on how to conduct educational technology research--from formulating research questions, to collecting and analyzing data, to writing up the research reports--in each of the major quantitative and qualitative traditions. Unlike other books of this kind, the author addresses some of research approaches used less commonly in educational technology research, but which, nonetheless, have much potential for creating new insights about educational phenomena--approaches such as single-participant research, quantitative content analysis, ethnography, narrative research, phenomenology, and others. "Multidisciplinary Methods in Educational Technology Research and Development" is an excellent text for educational technology research methods courses, a useful guide for those conducting (or supervising) research, and a rich source of empirical information on the art and science of educational technology research. Key Questions in Educational Technology Methods Choice are appended. (Contains 13 figures and 13 tables.) [This publication was produced by the HAMK University of Applied Sciences.].




Trends and Challenges in Multidisciplinary Research for Global Sustainable Development


Book Description

Since its beginning the International Conference on Applied Sciences and Advanced Technology (ICASAT) was planned as a multidisciplinary space and as a platform to explore the frontiers of knowledge in different areas such as Machine Vision, Biotechnology, Computer Sciences, Mechatronics and, Sustainability. Also, a multidisciplinary perspective is required in all aspects of science, engineering, and research, moving towards a more complete overview of recent advances. On its third edition, ICASAT received works focused on the Trends and Challenges for Global Sustainable Development. This book is a collection of the works presented during ICASAT 2023.

HCI Models, Theories, and Frameworks


Book Description

HCI Models, Theories, and Frameworks provides a thorough pedagological survey of the science of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). HCI spans many disciplines and professions, including anthropology, cognitive psychology, computer graphics, graphical design, human factors engineering, interaction design, sociology, and software engineering. While many books and courses now address HCI technology and application areas, none has addressed HCI's multidisciplinary foundations with much scope or depth. This text fills a huge void in the university education and training of HCI students as well as in the lifelong learning and professional development of HCI practitioners. Contributors are leading researchers in the field of HCI. If you teach a second course in HCI, you should consider this book. This book provides a comprehensive understanding of the HCI concepts and methods in use today, presenting enough comparative detail to make primary sources more accessible. Chapters are formatted to facilitate comparisons among the various HCI models. Each chapter focuses on a different level of scientific analysis or approach, but all in an identical format, facilitating comparison and contrast of the various HCI models. Each approach is described in terms of its roots, motivation, and type of HCI problems it typically addresses. The approach is then compared with its nearest neighbors, illustrated in a paradigmatic application, and analyzed in terms of its future. This book is essential reading for professionals, educators, and students in HCI who want to gain a better understanding of the theoretical bases of HCI, and who will make use of a good background, refresher, reference to the field and/or index to the literature. - Contributors are leading researchers in the field of Human-Comptuter Interaction - Fills a major gap in current literature about the rich scientific foundations of HCI - Provides a thorough pedogological survey of the science of HCI
