Advantages and disadvantages of relational databasesSanthiNivas
The document discusses the key characteristics of a relational database. It notes that a relational database organizes data into tables with rows and columns, and establishes relationships between tables using primary and foreign keys. This allows data to be non-repetitive and accurate. Users can query any table and combine related tables using joins to retrieve the required data. Relational databases also support data integrity, easy expansion to handle more data and changes, access control through user permissions, and flexible insertion, deletion and updating of records. However, performance may be impacted if there are many tables or complex joins, and extracting meaning from hierarchical data can be slower compared to hierarchical databases.
The document discusses traditional file systems and database management systems (DBMS). It provides an overview of traditional file systems, including their advantages and limitations. It then discusses DBMS, including its components, advantages like reduced data redundancy and improved data integrity, and limitations such as increased complexity. The document uses examples to illustrate key differences between traditional file systems and DBMS.
This document discusses database system concepts and architecture. It covers data models, schemas, and instances. There are three categories of data models: high-level conceptual models, low-level physical models, and representational models. Schemas describe the database design while instances represent the actual data. The three schema architecture separates the internal, conceptual, and external schemas. Database languages include DDL for design, DML for manipulation, and others. DBMSs provide various interfaces and operate in an environment alongside other software.

Improving student learning through assessment for learning using social media...Gihan Wikramanayake
This document summarizes a study on improving student learning through assessment using social media and e-Learning 2.0 on a distance education degree program in Sri Lanka. Specifically:
- The study examines the Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT) program at the University of Colombo School of Computing, which has high failure and dropout rates.
- Currently exams focus on factual recall through multiple choice questions, encouraging rote learning. Language barriers also negatively impact some students' performance.
- The program aims to improve learning and reduce failure/dropout rates by designing new assessment methods using social media and e-Learning 2.0 to promote higher-order thinking. Data on student experiences will inform the redesign.

This paper proposes an approach for indexing multimedia clips by speaker using audio segmentation, speaker recognition, and metadata indexing. Segmentation is done using Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) and silence detection. Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) are trained for each speaker using Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) as features. An ensemble of 3 GMMs is used to reduce errors from stochastic GMM training. Indexing utilizes sampled MFCC features from segments as metadata linked to speaker models.
