Self-efficacy mechanism in human agency.
This article addresses the centrality of the self-efficacy mechanism in human agency. Self-per- cepts of efficacy influence thought patterns, actions, and emotional arousal. In ...
A new optimizer using particle swarm theory
The optimization of nonlinear functions using particle swarm methodology is described. Implementations of two paradigms are discussed and compared, including a recently develope...
Interpretation of Raman spectra of disordered and amorphous carbon
The model and theoretical understanding of the Raman spectra in disordered and amorphous carbon are given. The nature of the G and D vibration modes in graphite is analyzed in t...
A Multi-Modal Distributed Real-Time IoT System for Urban Traffic Control (Invited Paper)
Traffic congestion is one of the growing urban problem with associated problems like fuel wastage, loss of lives, and slow productivity. The existing traffic system uses program...
