Measuring and analyzing German and Spanish customer satisfaction of using the iPhone 4S Mobile Cloud service
Full text linkThis paper presents the customer satisfaction analysis for measuring popularity in the Mobile Cloud, which is an emerging area in the Cloud and Big Data Computing. Organizational Sustainability Modeling (OSM) is the proposed method used in this research. The twelve-month of German and Spanish consumer data are used for the analysis to investigate the return and risk status associated with the ratings of customer satisfaction in the iPhone 4S Mobile Cloud services. Results show that there is a decline in the satisfaction ratings in Germany and Spain due to economic downturn and competitions in the market, which support our hypothesis. Key outputs have been explained and they confirm that all analysis and interpretations fulfill the criteria for OSM. The use of statistical and visualization method proposed by OSM can expose unexploited data and allows the stakeholders to understand the status of return and risk of their Cloud strategies easier than the use of other data analysis

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to understand the program planning practices of the College of Psychology and tried to plan an ideal program finally. The qualitative study approach and the questionnaire investigation were adopted to examine the Teacher-Chang College of Psychology program. The program planners were interviewed concerning their beliefs of the program goals, the curriculum design of the programs and their evaluation procedures. Through interviews and questionnaire investigations the findings are as follows:
1. People didn’t know the Teacher-Chang College of Psychology very well.
2. The recruiting of lecturers were mainly inner teachers. The groups and workshops were their main curriculum style. The curriculum contents were almost about self-growth and human relationship. The problem of curriculum design was that the Teacher-Chang College of Psychology didn’t have steady lecturer recruit.
3. The Teacher-Chang College of Psychology didn’t have enough program planners and program planners didn’t have enough ability. However there was a discrepancy between the head of Teacher-Chang and other centers.
4. There were not concrete marketing strategy and experts. Marketing strategy is to use old-fashioned media.
5. The main evaluation was quantitative and interview, while qualitative evaluation and whole program evaluation were being neglected.
Key words: Program planning, Teacher-Chang, adult education,

Studies in the Chang-chu Commentary of the Han Dynasty
No full text漢代解經之作數量繁多，而立名各異，有故、傳、說、章句、微、通、條例、注等名稱。漢代章句著作今雖多不傳，在漢代經解中實具有重要之地位，對後代義疏之興起亦深具影響。本文在前賢研究基礎上，對漢代章句學之相關問題加以論考，全文分為四節： 一、漢代章句之起源。 二、章句學之增繁與刪減。 三、章句學之內容。 四、章句學之評價。經由以上四節之論考，期能對漢代章句之學有較清楚之認識。The commentaries to the Classics in the Han dynasty are voluminous, and are entitled differently, such as ku, chiian, shuo, chang-chii, wei, t'ung, t'iao-li, chu, etc. Although not many chang-chii commentaries are extant, they are important to the interpretative activities of the Han scholars and bear significant influence to the later yi-shu commentary. This article, based on pervious scholarship, explores in four sections issues in the chang-chii commentary. The four sections are: 1.The origins of the chang-chii commentary. 2.The sophistication and simplification of the chang-chii commentary. 3.The content of the chang-chii commentary. 4.The evaluation of the chang-chii commentary. It is hoped that we can reach a better understanding of the Han chang-chii commentary through the discussion in the four sections
Brain Segmentation ? A Case study of Biomedical Cloud Computing for Education and Research
No full textMedical imaging is widely adopted in Hospitals and medical institutes, and new ways to improve existing medical imaging services are regularly exploited. This paper describes the adoption of Cloud Computing is useful for medical education and research, and describes the methodology, results and lesson learned. A working Bioinformatics Cloud platform can demonstrate computation and visualisation of brain imaging. The aim is to study segmentation of brains, which divides the brain into ten major regions. The Cloud platform has these two functions: (i) it can highlight each region for ten different segments; and (ii) it can adjust intensity of segmentation to allow basic study of brain medicine. Two types of benefits are reported as follows. Firstly, all the medical student participants are reported to have 20% improvement in their learning satisfaction. Secondly, 100% of volunteer participants are reported to have positive learning experience
