The use of computers to conduct examinations is more effective than traditional paper-based examinations in terms of immediate availability of results and long term cost effectiveness. This however is faced with identifying and authenticating the real identities of the examinees so as to reduce impersonation. The study examined the existing authentication method available on the Computer-based test system of Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT), Kaduna, Nigeria and proposed the fingerprint biometric technique as an additional method to authenticate the examinees. The fingerprint biometric authentication was developed using FlexCode SDK and implemented on DigitalPersona 4500 fingerprint reader – the recommended scanner by JAMB for fingerprint enrollment. The system was developed using PHP scripting language on XAMPP local server and MySQL database system. The results obtained showed that there is no need for a middleware to link the authentication module with the CBT because of the Single Sign-On technique implemented. This result thus improved the level of authentication and access to the CBT. This will therefore reduce impersonation and increase the level of awareness of CBT by academic stakeholders.

In the late 1980s, the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) investigated the use of computer-based technology to improve diagnostic troubleshooting methods. One such technology was demonstrated in an Interactive Fault Diagnosis and Isolation System (IFDIS) that was produced by Competitive Advantage Technology Pty Ltd under direction from the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO). This paper describes a new design which aims to improve the long-term supportability of such diagnostic systems by making the maximum use of commercial software, producing clear separation of technical information from any software elements, writing all non-standard software using defined standards and generally making the most possible use of the advances in computing over the last ten years. The system is now in field trial with the aim of developing procedures and specifications for production.

Paper presents the possibilities of computer-based data recording system, constructed and maintained in the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) Division for Avionics, used among others to manage the operational readiness of the integrated communication system ZSŁ. It was shown that the data collected in the database can be used to determine and evaluate operational parameters, including reliability and operational readiness, which is one of the necessary element when it comes to an effective operation of the ZSŁ system, built on board Polish Armed Forces helicopters.

Abstract Date Presented 04/22/21 Computer-based programs, conventional cognitive rehabilitation, neurologic music therapy, and noninvasive brain stimulation are effective in improving memory and learning, processing speed, language, executive function, or general cognitive skills. However, the retention of treatment effects and the generalizability of the cognitive improvement to the daily occupations are not clear. Including a predetermined single outcome, functional and long-term outcomes are needed in future studies.

AbstractVisual memory for faces has been extensively researched, especially regarding the main factors that influence face memorability. However, what we remember exactly about a face, namely, the pictorial content of visual memory, remains largely unclear. The current work aims to elucidate this issue by reconstructing face images from both perceptual and memory-based behavioural data. Specifically, our work builds upon and further validates the hypothesis that visual memory and perception share a common representational basis underlying facial identity recognition. To this end, we derived facial features directly from perceptual data and then used such features for image reconstruction separately from perception and memory data. Successful levels of reconstruction were achieved in both cases for newly-learned faces as well as for familiar faces retrieved from long-term memory. Theoretically, this work provides insights into the content of memory-based representations while, practically, it opens the path to novel applications, such as computer-based ‘sketch artists’.

Abstract This article presents laboratory test rig with a miniature turbojet engine (MiniJETRig – Miniature Jet Engine Test Rig), that was built in the Air Force Institute of Technology. The test rig has been developed for research and development works aimed at modelling and investigating processes and phenomena occurring in full scale jet engines. In the article construction of a test rig is described, with a brief discussion on the functionality of each of its main components. Additionally examples of measurement results obtained during the realization of the initial tests have been included, presenting the capabilities of the test rig.
