Student motivation is one of the most important individual characters for explaining student performance in class. Existing researches show that it can be affected largely by social-contextual factors. Rather than focusing on social relationship, in this paper we construct social activity networks for analyzing the impact of collective behaviors on student motivation. We conduct field experiments to compare social activity networks with relationship networks by analyzing the structural characteristics. We also investigate the dynamic of social activities,and validate the effectiveness of social activity network in reflecting social influence on student motivation. Our results show that social activities are important factors affecting student motivation.

Networked controlsystems(NCSs) are facing a great challenge from the limitation of network communication resources. Event-triggered control(ETC) is often used to reduce the amount of communications while still keeping a satisfactory performance of the system, by transmitting the state measurements only when an event-triggered condition is met. However,some network-induced problems would happen inevitably, such as communication delay. The delay can degrade the control performance significantly and can even lead to instability. In this paper, we study an NCS considering both ETC and time-varying delay, which is rare in the literature. We formulate the system as a discretized piecewise linear system with exponential uncertainty. Then the model is embedded in a polytopic approximation with better structure suitable for stability *** conditions are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities(LMIs). Finally, the developed method is illustrated by a numerical example.
Decentralized attitude synchronization and tracking control for multiple rigid bodies are investigated in this paper. In the presence of inertia uncertainties and environmental disturbances, we propose a class of dece...

This paper proposes an iterative evolutionary algorithm with emulating nodes' local movement for searching the best localization accuracy in range-free scenario. All localization methods face a trade-off between the solution quality and computation cost. When sensor network localization in range-free scenario is considered as a constraint satisfaction problem, localization will reach the highest accuracy but with huge computation complexity. To solve the constraint satisfaction, some characteristics that only exist in range-free localization problem are utilized as heuristics in the search of nodes' positions. They are summarized as simple and complex movement to emulate nodes' local movement, and proved to be effective to find a suitable searching direction and jump out of local-minimums existing in the localization. Those emulations are then included in each iteration of a two-objective evolutionary algorithm minimizing the number of node-pairs with violated connectivity, as well as the value quantitating how worse of the violations. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can greatly decrease the reach high-accurate positions within limited iterations.

Inspired by the hunting and foraging behaviors of group predators, this paper addresses a class of multi-player pursuit–evasion games with one superior evader, who moves faster than the pursuers. We are concerned with the conditions under which the pursuers can capture the evader, involving the minimum number and initial spatial distribution required as well as the cooperative strategies of the pursuers. We present some necessary or sufficient conditions to regularize the encirclement formed by the pursuers to the evader. Then we provide a cooperative scheme for the pursuers to maintain and shrink the encirclement until the evader is captured. Finally, we give some examples to illustrate the theoretical results.
When redundant manipulators work in a complex environment, many constraints need to be met. Gradient projection method (GPM) is a typical way to fulfil constraints that does not affect the main task. However it's ...
