Tantrum in children is one of the most critical parenting problems and cannot be ignored. If neglected, it can have an impact on the children's unpreparedness in adapting to their environment. Parents must properly do handling tantrums in children. It will happen when parents have good parenting skills. Parents' parenting skills need to be increasing. It is necessary to provide training, a Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) based parenting program with mobile training program assistant. This research is conducted using quasi-experimental analysis. The population in this study is all parents in Malang City who have children with tantrum problems. The sampling technique used is the purposive sampling technique with the criteria of parents who have children aged three years with tantrum problems that show verbal and physical behaviour. The research instrument consisted of a set of parenting skill and tantrum questionnaires for children with the help of the Mobile Training Program and without the Mobile Training Program.

The range of available materials to be used in the field of Smart textile is vast, but not thoroughly analysed in depth. This paper presents analysis and testing of textile materials suitable for tensiometric functioning in Smart textile applications. The research was focused on finding ideal proportions of appropriate materials combinations. Supplied samples differs in carrier fibre and conductive fibre material and its amount in resulting threads. Evaluation of the samples is based on the electrical and mechanical parameters before and during the testing. Samples underwent series of pull-test cycles during which the electrical parameters (4-wire contact resistance and inductance) and physical behaviour (stretchability, cyclic stress resistivity and force necessary for breakage) were observed and recorded. Correlation between material composition of each sample and changes of the aforementioned parameters during testing was evaluated. Impregnation can improve thread structure and physical behaviour. Lycra has proven as extremely flexible and capable of sustaining same level resistance even during cyclic stress. It can be concluded that textile threads with adequate composition can be used as sensoric, heating or monitoring equipment.

A case study centred on a fuel supply system for a small aircraft is presented in Hybrid Event-B, an extension of conventional Event-B that allows for the modelling and verification of hybrid and cyberphysical systems exhibiting nontrivial continuous behaviour. In contrast to many such case studies, which concentrate predominantly on timing issues, the focus in the present work is on nontrivial physical behaviour, and on the effect that this has on various refinement and partition strategies.

An in-depth investigation of oscillation modes in free-running oscillators loaded with multi-resonance networks is presented. It focuses on the mechanisms leading to the coexistence of stable oscillation modes, which may give rise to uncertainty in the physical behaviour. The multiple periodic and quasi-periodic solutions are detected and related to the stability properties of the dc solution and each of the periodic modes. Two different types of Hopf-bifurcation loci enable a global understanding of the circuit operation. The investigation is initially carried out with an analytical formulation and then extended to harmonic-balance simulations. The results have been experimentally validated through their application to a HEMT-based cross-coupled oscillator, at 0.65 and 2.4 GHz. This work has been supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness under project TEC2014-60283-C3-1-R and the Parliament of Cantabria (12.JP02.64069). The authors would like to thank S. Pana, University of Cantabria, for her assistance with the manufacturing process.

The nanometric memristor has emerged as an important device that foresees novel features for analogue and digital systems. As an immediate consequence, there is a strong need for smart models of the memristor that not only handle the Physics of the device but that also result of application for electric circuit simulation. The ultimate goal is to allow the memristor to be incorporated to the design path of hybrid circuits, i.e. circuits that contain traditional devices and memristors. In this work, a memristor model is obtained by solving the differential equation, that governs the physical behaviour, with a special class of homotopy method. The final model is shaped in a closed-form that can be used at functional level for simulation purpouses.

Due to the miniaturization process of the CMOS components metallization structures are becoming more and more complex. Better knowledge to improve via robustness for high current applications is needed. Geometry changes can have a big effect on the physical behaviour. For higher robust metallization systems it is necessary to learn more about overlap design to meet the most economic layout. Slotted high current line layouts do not allow the use of big via areas. Furthermore the number of vias increases the resistance. Investigations have shown the existence of an optimal overlap.

This paper reports on possibilities of simulating electromagnetic micro linear motors to achieve the maximum magnetic and physical performance. Using a finite element method, the force of the motor is calculated and using these characteristic curves, the physical behaviour is simulated. At the end, a comparison with measurements is presented

We consider the problem of giving virtual reality objects physical behaviour. We wish to do this in a way, which allows users to construct new objects from simpler ones and have the correct composite behaviour emerge. Our approach uses a graph structure to model, dynamically, the way one object can influence another. It uses a lightweight message system to cause actions between objects. It has routines to encode each kind of general physical behaviour. Any given object can have multiple independent behaviours and these behaviours can be extended to give a richer range of outcomes. These outcomes arise from the creative use to which the objects are put by the user, rather than from predetermined actions built-in when the VE was designed. In addition, we replace hierarchical geometry modelling with a much flatter structure. We explain the approach, describe the implementation, suggest enhancements and offer a range of tests, which demonstrate the concepts in action

In this paper, a new monolithic integrated device providing the "thyristor dual" function without auxiliary supply and based on the functional integration mode is investigated. The influence of the physical and technological parameters of this new structure upon the main electrical characteristics and the physical behaviour has been analyzed using the ATLAS software tool. An optimized device is proposed and test structures have been fabricated.

Anisotropically Conductive Adhesives (ACAs) have been used in electronics packaging for decades on glass substrate, and recently in contactless smart-card module assembly and for bare chip attach on flexible and rigid substrates. This paper summarises various technologies used in connection with ACA joining. A summary of our understanding on electrical, thermal, physical, chemical, environmental and cost behaviours of ACAs in conjunction with various packaging applications are elaborated. Finally, future research areas and remaining issues are pointed out.

The model presented gives a simple and efficient evaluation of the physical behaviour of a conductor-superconductor joint. The value of the joint resistance obtained for our example is bigger than the optimum value for such joints, which is about 10−8Ω. This is mainly due to our solder thickness of 0.9mm, which is substantially bigger than the better values, down to 0.05mm as reported in [2].

In this paper, we propose a method that allows the robot to adapt its physical behaviour to the human fatigue in human-robot co-manipulation tasks. The robot initially imitates the human to perform the collaborative task in a leader-follower setting, using a feedback about the human motor behaviour. Simultaneously, the robot obtains the skill in online manner. When a predetermined level of human fatigue is detected, the robot uses the learnt skill to take over the physically demanding aspect of the task and contributes to a significant reduction of the human effort. The human, on the other hand, controls and supervises the high-level interaction behaviour and performs the aspects that require the contribution of both agents in such a dynamic co-manipulation setup. The robot adaptation system is based on the Dynamical Movement Primitives, Locally Weighted Regression and Adaptive Frequency Oscillators. The estimation of the human motor fatigue is carried out using a proposed online model, which is based on the human muscle activity measured by the electromyography. We demonstrate the proposed method with experiments on a real-world co-manipulation task with environmental constraints and dynamic uncertainties.
