Before the end of class, copy-and-paste your research logbook into a comment made to this blog post. Books that you might find useful also have to be entered into your logbook along with any quotes that you type up from the book resource. Remember to reformat your bibliographic data as an APA Reference entry, and include a parenthetical citation for all material quoted from a text.
If you need to visit the library during class, you may do so only after talking with Professor Ellis at the beginning of class. At the end of class time, even if you are not in class, you will need to post your logbook progress thus far.

âUrban planning is a key role in improving the environmental conditions at the city level as well as on global level. Green building is intended to include all the elements of a space through environmentally sustainable system. Through urban planning we can define the elements that directly impact on the environment, such as: the exterior of the building (facades, roofs), the yard around the buildings, open spaces, parks, streets and utility infrastructure.
Studies dealing with problems of environmental planning and land use patterns show that urban
areas have greater potential to create a sustainable system than rural areas. Sustainable Urbanization is a powerful tool for improving living conditions in cities and ecological capacity.â (MihajiloviÄ et al., 2016, p. 126).

âProject location and transportation are the critical components of a green building project as they affect the ecosystem and human life in many ways. First, a project location has a significant impact on the connection of the building with the surrounding area. A building in developed land or near dense residential areas can make more intensive use of existing infrastructure, increase development density, and conserve construction material and land resources for future use.â (Chen et al., 2017, p.52).

âWhile battery technology is of great interest for mobile robots, but it is not reliable in the time, there are several strategies for the storage of energy (fuel cells and the micro-fuel cell), as well as strategies for harvesting energy from the environment in various ways and energy management using sophisticated control techniques to improve power supply costs. One of these strategies is to use solar energy to power mobile robots. The solar cells appearance is due to the need to supply power spacecraft since not require maintenance for a period of time.â (Shu, 2014, p.96)

âThe contemporary UI paradigm was developed in the era of the PC and its GUI, which emerged in the 1980s. The concept of direct manipulation exposed GUIs’ defining feature: they decrease the perceptual and cognitive distance between a visually presented. object and its computational correspondent. This concept was the key to a number of novel visualizations and interaction techniques. Empirical research produced hundreds of results that were consolidated into heuristics for GUI design. Researchers translated these heuristics into checklist-like rapid-inspection methods developers could use to evaluate designs without expensive empirical studies. Usability engineering repackaged the whole user-centered design cycle for software engineering’s needs. Its centerpiece was usability testingâa streamlined version of experimental methods used in psychology. In parallel, researchers developed sketching methods and tools to boost the quality and rate of design ideation.â(Oulasvirta et al, 2016, p.11)

âIt is increasingly important to assess and ensure the correct behaviour of mobile applications as their importance in everyday life keeps increasing. This paper presents an automatic testing approach combining reverse engineering with testing. The algorithm tries to identify existing User Interface (UI) patterns on a mobile application under test through a reverse engineering process and then tests them using generic test strategies called Test Patterns. The overall testing approach was implemented in the iMPAcT (Mobile PAttern Testing) tool and is illustrated in a case study performed over some mobile applications as a proof-of-concept.â(Morgado, IC et al., 2015 p. 42)

âWhile professional User Interface (UI) designers take into account key concepts like elements, principles and aesthetics of the design [3], there are basic components and their combination that constitute a UI of any recommender systemâ(Guntuku et al., 2016, 1)
âThe problem of personalized UI recommendation involves the following steps: a) understanding users’ content consumption patterns and b) coming up with a personalized UI to suit the users’ behavior.â(Guntuku et al., 2016, 3)

âThe teacher must guide (steer wild inventions away from blind alleys) and challenge (contradict to gently point out illogic) and explain (because the child wants and needs explanation for active understanding). According to Piaget, children do not discover properly or efficiently on their own. Children progress through the same major stages but not at the same rates, depending upon experience and skill of educators, but that is not all that matters.â (Anderman et al, 2008, p. 186)

âThe study of evaluation has remained a central part of the educational psychology and includes techniques for assessing learning, achievement, and behavior, analysis of individual differences, and methods of addressing learning problems. Another relevant area is that of mental health in the classroom (personality integration, adjustment problems, teacher-pupil interaction). In recent years, the trend has been toward a more âholisticâ and humanistic approach that stresses the learner’s affective needs in the context of cognitive processes.â (Longe, 2016, p. 349)

âCryptography helps provide accountability, fairness, accuracy, and confidentiality. It can prevent fraud in electronic commerce and assure the validity of financial transactions. It can protect your anonymity or prove your identity. It can keep vandals from altering your Web page and prevent industrial competitors from reading your confidential documents. And in the future, as commerce and communications continue to move to computer networks, cryptography will become more and more vitalâ (Schneier, 1997, p. 138).
âIn modern cryptography, the random oracle model[1] is widely used as an imaginary framework in which the security of a cryptographic scheme is discussed. In the random oracle model, the cryptographic hash function used in a cryptographic scheme is formulated as a random variable uniformly distributed over all possibility of the function, called the random oracle, and the legitimate users and the adversary against the scheme are modeled so as to get the values of the hash function not by evaluating it in their own but by querying the random oracle. Since the random oracle is an imaginary object, even if the security of a cryptographic scheme is proved in the random oracle model, the random oracle has to be instantiated using a concrete cryptographic hash function such as the SHA hash functions if we want to use the scheme in the real world. In fact, the instantiations of the random oracle by concrete cryptographic hash functions are widely used in modern cryptography to produce efficient cryptographic schemes. Once the random oracle is instantiated, however, the original security proof in the random oracle model is spoiled and goes back to square one. Actually, it is not clear how much the instantiation can maintain the security originally proved in the random oracle model, nor is it clear whether the random oracle can be instantiated somehow while keeping the original securityâ (Tadaki, Doi, 2014, p. 545).
