According to the rising number of users and the application development that needs fast transfer rates. The main objective behind the development of IEEE 802.11ac was to deliver WLANs with exceptionally very high throughput rates. Significant improvements were incorporated into the PHY and MAC layers to achieve this, leading to enhanced data rates and overall network performance. These enhancements have enabled the standard 802.11ac to support channel bonding schemes. This paper looks at how channel bonding affects the performance of system, especially in terms of delay and amount of throughput. The research paper looks at four different scenarios with different numbers of channel BW 40,80 & 160MHz, and various spatial streams (SS) from 1 to 8. The network simulator (NS-3) version 3.37 is used to simulate these scenarios. The results of the simulation indicate that when Dynamic Channel Bonding (DCB) is applied, the highest throughput and least amount of delay values are acquired. Specifically, for MIMO (8×8) SS and with respect to the Static Channel Bonding (SCB), the best improvement of throughput and delay are obtained with DCB in the highest (48 node number) scenario. The throughput development values are (90.21%, 87.3%, and 42.91%) and the delay improvement values are (47.43%, 46.61%, and 30.03%) for channel BWs 40,80, &160 MHz, respectively.

Objectives: As technology becomes increasingly popular among millennial nursing students, publishers are transitioning towards electronic textbooks (e-books). E-books have advantages for long-term learning and budget control compared to conventional printed textbooks. This cross-sectional descriptive study examined the perceived usefulness, challenges, and satisfaction with e-books compared to printed textbooks, among Omani nursing students. Methods: Data was collected from a convenience sample of 77 students who used e-books in a community health nursing course using a valid and reliable survey in the fall 2020 semester. Results: Results showed that despite reporting more challenges with printed textbooks, the majority of students (74%) preferred printed textbooks. Additionally, 71.4% of students had a low level of satisfaction with e-books. Female students had a higher preference for printed textbooks and lower satisfaction with e-books compared to male participants. Conclusion: More research is needed to understand the reasons behind students' preference for printed textbooks, and to investigate the gender differences observed in this study.

— This paper proposes a new obstacle avoidance method for finding an optimal path passing through wide free space based on the optimized MAX-MIN Ant System (MMAS) algorithm in dynamic environments. The proposed improvement of the MMAS algorithm occurs in two stages. The first stage analyses the environment with two modifications by proposing a new relation of pheromone trail updating to construct the consequence modified (deposited) pheromone trail update in each iteration based on adding a new parameter (clean) to calculate the possible wide empty locations. Another alteration at this level involves checking and identifying the four horizontal and vertical states. Suppose the two nodes on either side of the four diagonal nodes are barriers in the next neighbor locations. In that case, the Tight Tunnel state is then attained, and it is managed by sealing this location to prevent passing through it before the robot movement stage. Another alteration is made to the robot-moving stage by recommending a new relation of tour building probabilities to determine the best option for moving the robot from the start node through a dynamic environment that incorporates dynamic obstacles moving through free space by locating and exhibiting the ideal path via broad free space. The main outcome of the experiment simulation of the new method involves that the robot avoids going through narrow tunnels and chooses the best course through open areas to reach its destination without running into any impediments in various dynamic environments conditions. In addition, the comparison of average time occupied to find the paths by the new method reduces to 54.32% as compared with that required with the method of hybrid the basic D* algorithm with the Lbest PSO algorithm, and to 11.95% in comparison to the time occupied recorded when applying the method of the improved MAX–MIN ACO algorithm.
-提出了一种在动态环境下，基于优化的MAX-MIN Ant System (MMAS)算法，寻找通过宽自由空间的最优路径的避障新方法。MMAS算法的改进分为两个阶段。第一阶段对两次修改后的环境进行分析，提出了一种新的信息素轨迹更新关系，通过增加一个新的参数(clean)来计算可能的宽空位置，从而构造每次迭代后修改(沉积)信息素轨迹更新的结果。这一级别的另一个变化涉及检查和识别四个水平和垂直状态。假设四个对角线节点两侧的两个节点是相邻位置的障碍。此时进入紧隧道状态，通过封闭该位置进行管理，防止机器人在移动阶段之前通过该位置。对机器人移动阶段进行了另一项修改，通过推荐一种新的巡回建筑概率关系，确定机器人从开始节点移动到包含动态障碍物的动态环境的最佳选择，通过在广阔的自由空间中定位和展示理想路径。新方法的实验仿真结果表明，在各种动态环境条件下，机器人避免了通过狭窄的隧道，并在开阔的区域中选择最佳路线到达目的地，不会遇到任何障碍物。此外，与基本D*算法与Lbest粒子群算法混合方法相比，新方法寻找路径所需的平均时间减少到54.32%，与改进MAX-MIN蚁群算法相比减少到11.95%。

— The aim of the current research was to detect how undergraduates from the faculties of medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, and health sciences felt about using electronic assessment at the time of COVID-19. Cross-sectional research was made at the University of Sharjah in UAE between January and April 2021. As a study tool, a questionnaire with 26 items was created using Google Forms and disseminated by the registration department via the learner's E-learning platforms. The study's data were analyzed using SPSS software. The outcomes demonstrated that students had a high level of acceptance of the computerized assessment. The overall arithmetic mean of the students' replies was (3.49) and had a standard deviation of (1.33), indicating that they accepted the electronic assessment to a high degree. Furthermore, there was a discernible difference between the acceptance of the internet-based assessment by male and female students, but the College of Medicine (COM) students benefited significantly from the variation in acceptance of the assessment depending on the variable of college. Students who had inadequate computer capacities, on the other hand, were more receptive to electronic testing. The study's findings may be helpful in developing academic methods, rearranging assessment alternatives, and changing the academic curriculum to address the problems and limitations of electronic assessment.

Research on Vocabulary is prominent, and it helps learners find many diverse ways to learn vocabulary to a greater extent. However, the research on vocabulary in recent years gradually diminishes as students age and get to higher education [1]. Many researchers recommend the effective use of digital tools to motivate students to participate actively in learning [9], and digital gamification makes quite an impact by creating student interest in word learning [1] [12]. At this juncture, our research serves the need for improving the vocabulary of Engineering students through digital gamification using 'Quizizz' in their Practice tests and Google Forms with 'AutoProctor' to preclude their malpractice during their assessment test-taking. This study was carried out based on quantitative research by collecting and analyzing numerical data of a couple of research groups, the control group (n1=45) and experimental group (n2=69), and also through a closed-ended questionnaire using a Likert Scale. The findings demonstrate how this research culminated in the results that brought a subtle difference in the two groups; the control and experimental groups that pursued the traditional and blended methods. The Pooled Standard Deviation (Spooled) (Weighted average of Standard Deviations from both the groups) statistically demonstrated that it had deviated from the control group's Standard Deviation (s1) by 0.286 and from the experimental group's Standard Deviation (s2) by 0.2. This weighted average vindicated the study that the experimental group could perform better than the control group in the post-test.
对词汇的研究是突出的，它在更大程度上帮助学习者找到许多不同的方法来学习词汇。然而，近年来，随着学生年龄的增长和接受高等教育，对词汇的研究逐渐减少[1]。许多研究者建议有效使用数字工具来激励学生积极参与学习[9]，数字游戏化通过培养学生对单词学习的兴趣产生了相当大的影响[1][12]。在这个关键时刻，我们的研究服务于通过在实践测试中使用“Quizizz”和“AutoProctor”的谷歌表格的数字游戏化来提高工程专业学生的词汇量，以防止他们在评估考试中出现不当行为。本研究在定量研究的基础上，通过收集和分析两个研究组，对照组(n1=45)和实验组(n2=69)的数值数据，并采用李克特量表进行封闭式问卷调查。研究结果表明，这项研究的最终结果在两组人中产生了微妙的差异;对照组和实验组采用传统方法和混合方法。合并标准差(Pooled Standard Deviation, Spooled)(两组标准差的加权平均值)统计表明，与对照组标准差(s1)的偏差为0.286，与实验组标准差(s2)的偏差为0.2。这一加权平均值证实了实验组在后测中的表现优于对照组的研究。

Many researchers recommend the effective use of digital tools to motivate students to participate actively in learning [9], and digital gamification makes quite an impact by creating student interest in word learning [1] [12]. At this juncture, our research serves the need for improving the vocabulary of Engineering students through digital gamification using 'Quizizz' in their Practice tests and Google Forms with 'AutoProctor' to preclude their malpractice during their assessment test-taking. This study was carried out based on quantitative research by collecting and analyzing numerical data of a couple of research groups, the control group (n1=45) and experimental group (n2=69), and also through a closed-ended questionnaire using a Likert Scale. The findings demonstrate how this research culminated in the results that brought a subtle difference in the two groups; the control and experimental groups that pursued the traditional and blended methods. The Pooled Standard Deviation (Spooled) (Weighted average of Standard Deviations from both the groups) statistically demonstrated that it had deviated from the control group's Standard Deviation (s1) by 0.286 and from the experimental group's Standard Deviation (s2) by 0.2. This weighted average vindicated the study that the experimental group could perform better than the control group in the post-test.","PeriodicalId":13648,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Interact. Mob.

Currently, mobile learning is an inseparable part of education since students use their mobile devices ubiquitously on a daily basis. This is also true for foreign language learning where smartphones and their applications are used for practicing all four language skills and language structures. The purpose of this article is to survey the needs of university students as far as the functions and content of a mobile app for foreign language learning are concerned. The methodology was based on an online questionnaire survey, which was conducted among 103 students of the University of Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic, in the period between 30 October 2020 and 24 January 2021. The findings reveal that the potential mobile applications for foreign language learning should be tailored to the language needs of students at the University of Hradec Králové; be targeted at their foreign language level between B1 and B2 of the Common European Reference Framework for Languages; be used at smartphones with Android operating system in particular; offer the possibility of repeating exercises and the combination of different teaching approaches; be free of charge and provide the possibility to choose a corresponding language level; be aimed at practicing specific language skills and knowledge; provide gamification features, offline version, online interaction, notifications; and serve as support to the face-to-face classes
