TL;DR: Policy makers should take into account that e- learning implementation is not simply a technological solution, but they should also address individual differences by considering a set of critical success factors such as social, institutional and individual factors.

TL;DR: An innovative development of the interfaces for providing an AR storybook that enhanced story reading and learning experience for preschool children via mobile AR application and highly interactive physical book interface design of the AR book is highlighted.

TL;DR: The design and evaluation of an AR alphabet book, an Augmented Reality based book for teaching the alphabet to preschool children and the preliminary results indicate the children reacted positively towards the books; most reported they like and enjoy using the AR book.

TL;DR: Extreme learning machines (ELMs) are proposed, known for universal approximation, to model and predict mobility of arbitrary nodes in a mobile ad hoc network (MANET), which uses mobility prediction in location-aided routing and mobility aware topology control protocols.

TL;DR: Important factors and factor relationships in healthcare social sustainability related to patient satisfaction using a system dynamics approach are explored using a systems thinking approach.

TL;DR: A comparative study between two forest fires detection methods (Canadian and Korean) using a real experimental approach is proposed to conclude the effectiveness of the Canadian approach in terms of energy consumption and execution speed, and its suitability to the context of this country.

TL;DR: It is discovered that investing in underground water storage or surface water catchments alone is not sufficient to help achieve self-sufficiency in water, and the need to build water infrastructures well in advance in order to meet Singapore's future water demand.

TL;DR: A dynamic system for feature based summarization of customers’ opinions for online products, which works according to the domain of the product, which can easily be digested by the user.

TL;DR: Augmented reality (AR) offers a key technology to solve the basic elements of logistics and pays special attention to improvement possibilities in packaging, handling, storage and transportation phases where manpower and personnel also play an important role.
