Ethics in Law Enforcement
Rating
0.0 stars

In this book, you will examine the moral and ethical issues that exist within law enforcement. This book will also familiarize you with the basic history, principles, and theories of ethics. These concepts will then be applied to the major components of the criminal justice system: policing, the courts, and corrections. Discussion will focus on personal values, individual responsibility, decision making, discretion, and the structure of accountability. Specific topics covered will include core values, codes of conduct, ethical dilemmas, organizational consequences, liability, and the importance of critical thinking. By the end of this book, you will be able to distinguish and critically debate contemporary ethical issues in law enforcement.

An Extension of Class Diagram to Model the Structure of Context-Aware Systems
Rating
0.0 stars

Context-aware systems (CASs) have become a reality thanks to the development of smart software and hardware to assist the users in various real life activities. The proliferation of context-aware services has led to the emergence of environments where services are made available for usage anywhere and at any time. CASs have the ability to capture users’ contexts and use their instance values to provide self-adaptive services in response to context changes. Modelling and documenting the structure of such a system during the design phase is vital for system validation, testing, maintenance and version management. The Unified Modelling Language (UML) is the de facto industrial standard for system modelling and development. The UML class diagrams provide notations for modelling graphically the structure of a system in terms of classes and the relationships between them. However, these notations are insufficient to model the structure of CASs. This paper proposes a new set of notations to represent context and context-awareness and their relationships with classes in class diagrams. Hence, the structure of CASs can be specified, visualized, constructed, and documented distinctively during system development. The proposed approach is evaluated using real-world case studies.

Filtering: Removing Noise from a Distress Signal
Rating
0.0 stars

Students learn the basic principles of filtering as well as how to apply digital filters to extract part of an audio signal by using an interactive online demo website. They apply this knowledge in order to isolate a voice recording from a heavily noise-contaminated sound wave. After completing the associated lesson, expect students to be able to attempt (and many successfully finish) this activity with minimal help from the instructor.

Follow the Light
Rating
0.0 stars

Students' understanding of how robotic light sensors work is reinforced in a design challenge involving LEGO MINDSTORMS(TM) NXT robots and light sensors. Working in pairs, students program LEGO robots to follow a flashlight as its light beam moves around. Students practice and learn programming skills and logic design in parallel. They see how robots take input from light sensors and use it to make decisions to move, similar to the human sense of sight. Students also see how they perform the steps of the engineering design process in the course of designing and testing to achieve a successful program. A PowerPoint® presentation and pre/post quizzes are provided.

From Use Case Diagrams to Executable Context-aware Ambients
Rating
0.0 stars

This paper proposes an approach to translating a use case diagram into an executable context-aware ambients. The requirements of a context-aware system is captured and represented in an extension of UML use case diagrams called context-aware use case diagrams. Then an algorithm is proposed that translates a context-aware use case diagram into a process in the Calculus of Context-aware Ambients (CCA). This process can then be analyzed using the CCA simulator. The proposed approach is evaluated using a real-word example of a context-aware collision avoidance system.

Students are introduced to the idea of electrical energy. They learn about the relationships between charge, voltage, current and resistance. They discover that electrical energy is the form of energy that powers most of their household appliances and toys. In the associated activities, students learn how a circuit works and test materials to see if they conduct electricity. Building upon a general understanding of electrical energy, they design their own potato power experiment. In two literacy activities, students learn about the electrical power grid and blackouts.

Students gain an understanding of the difference between electrical conductors and insulators, and experience recognizing a conductor by its material properties. In a hands-on activity, students build a conductivity tester to determine whether different objects are conductors or insulators. In another activity, students use their understanding of electrical properties to choose appropriate materials to design and build their own basic circuit switch.
