Designing learning for tablet classrooms : innovations in instruction
\"The versatile, cost-effective technology of the tablet computer has proved to be a good fit with the learning capabilities of today's students. Not surprisingly, in more and more classrooms, the tablet has replaced not only traditional print materials but the desktop computer and the laptop as well. Designing Instruction for Tablet Classrooms makes sense of this transition, clearly showing not just how and why tablet-based learning works, but how it is likely to evolve. Written for the non-technical reader, it balances elegant theoretical background with practical applications suitable to learning environments from kindergarten through college. A wealth of specialized topics ranges from course management and troubleshooting to creating and customizing etextbooks, from tablet use in early and remedial reading to the pros and cons of virtual field trips. And for maximum usefulness, early chapters are organized to spotlight core skills needed to negotiate the new design frontier, including: Framing the learning design approach. Analyzing the learning environment. Designing learning that capitalizes on tablet technology. Developing activities that match learning needs. Implementing the learning design. Conducting evaluations before, during, and after. This is proactive reading befitting a future of exciting developments in educational technology. For researchers and practitioners in this and allied fields, Designing Instruction for Tablet Classrooms offers limitless opportunities to think outside the box.\"--P.[4].

Educational Research-iPad System vs Textbook System
The aim of article is to find out the benefits between iPad vs notebook and pick out the best between both. In the present world as the technology keeps on growing by introducing innovating iPads, tablets etc, this article is to find whether iPad is helpful for students in education or whether to stick with textbooks for ideal learning. To identify a survey is conducted for 100 students and questions were based on their option, opinion, usage, benefits, merits, advantages, disadvantages, and other ratings related to our topic. The objective of this research is to conduct a survey among the students about the two systems and find the best between them. The technology has been developing day to day which is highly useful in educational aspects for students like introducing the iPad system without carrying heavy textbooks or notebooks, without destroying mammoth trees. Where as iPad are environmentally beneficial still it carries a huge aspect on optic defects. Both the systems have advantages and disadvantages and both the systems above provides students with opportunities to deepen their learning from different techniques. So background of this research is to take survey on students and to find out which system is at its best. The main objective of this topic is to Conduct a survey by questioning the students and to knew which system gets higher ratings and to find out which one wins the battle.

Pathophysiology and probable etiology of cerebral small vessel disease in vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s disease
Vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID) is commonly caused by vascular injuries in cerebral large and small vessels and is a key driver of age-related cognitive decline. Severe VCID includes post-stroke dementia, subcortical ischemic vascular dementia, multi-infarct dementia, and mixed dementia. While VCID is acknowledged as the second most common form of dementia after Alzheimer’s disease (AD) accounting for 20% of dementia cases, VCID and AD frequently coexist. In VCID, cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) often affects arterioles, capillaries, and venules, where arteriolosclerosis and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) are major pathologies. White matter hyperintensities, recent small subcortical infarcts, lacunes of presumed vascular origin, enlarged perivascular space, microbleeds, and brain atrophy are neuroimaging hallmarks of cSVD. The current primary approach to cSVD treatment is to control vascular risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, and smoking. However, causal therapeutic strategies have not been established partly due to the heterogeneous pathogenesis of cSVD. In this review, we summarize the pathophysiology of cSVD and discuss the probable etiological pathways by focusing on hypoperfusion/hypoxia, blood–brain barriers (BBB) dysregulation, brain fluid drainage disturbances, and vascular inflammation to define potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets for cSVD.

Apple LiDAR Sensor for 3D Surveying: Tests and Results in the Cultural Heritage Domain
The launch of the new iPad Pro by Apple in March 2020 generated high interest and expectations for different reasons; nevertheless, one of the new features that developers and users were interested in testing was the LiDAR sensor integrated into this device (and, later on, in the iPhone 12 and 13 Pro series). The implications of using this technology are mainly related to augmented and mixed reality applications, but its deployment for surveying tasks also seems promising. In particular, the potentialities of this miniaturized and low-cost sensor embedded in a mobile device have been assessed for documentation from the cultural heritage perspective—a domain where this solution may be particularly innovative. Over the last two years, an increasing number of mobile apps using the Apple LiDAR sensor for 3D data acquisition have been released. However, their performance and the 3D positional accuracy and precision of the acquired 3D point clouds have not yet been fully validated. Among the solutions available, as of September 2021, three iOS apps (SiteScape, EveryPoint, and 3D Scanner App) were tested. They were compared in different surveying scenarios, considering the overall accuracy of the sensor, the best acquisition strategies, the operational limitations, and the 3D positional accuracy of the final products achieved.

Measurement of Forest Inventory Parameters with Apple iPad Pro and Integrated LiDAR Technology
The estimation of single tree and complete stand information is one of the central tasks of forest inventory. In recent years, automatic algorithms have been successfully developed for the detection and measurement of trees with laser scanning technology. Nevertheless, most of the forest inventories are nowadays carried out with manual tree measurements using traditional instruments. This is due to the high investment costs for modern laser scanner equipment and, in particular, the time-consuming and incomplete nature of data acquisition with stationary terrestrial laser scanners. Traditionally, forest inventory data are collected through manual surveys with calipers or tapes. Practically, this is both labor and time-consuming. In 2020, Apple implemented a Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensor in the new Apple iPad Pro (4th Gen) and iPhone Pro 12. Since then, access to LiDAR-generated 3D point clouds has become possible with consumer-level devices. In this study, an Apple iPad Pro was tested to produce 3D point clouds, and its performance was compared with a personal laser scanning (PLS) approach to estimate individual tree parameters in different forest types and structures. Reference data were obtained by traditional measurements on 21 circular forest inventory sample plots with a 7 m radius. The tree mapping with the iPad showed a detection rate of 97.3% compared to 99.5% with the PLS scans for trees with a lower diameter at a breast height (dbh) threshold of 10 cm. The root mean square error (RMSE) of the best dbh measurement out of five different dbh modeling approaches was 3.13 cm with the iPad and 1.59 cm with PLS. The data acquisition time with the iPad was approximately 7.51 min per sample plot; this is twice as long as that with PLS but 2.5 times shorter than that with traditional forest inventory equipment. In conclusion, the proposed forest inventory with the iPad is generally feasible and achieves accurate and precise stem counts and dbh measurements with efficient labor effort compared to traditional approaches. Along with future technological developments, it is expected that other consumer-level handheld devices with integrated laser scanners will also be developed beyond the iPad, which will serve as an accurate and cost-efficient alternative solution to the approved but relatively expensive TLS and PLS systems. Such a development would be mandatory to broadly establish digital technology and fully automated routines in forest inventory practice. Finally, high-level progress is generally expected for the broader scientific community in forest ecosystem monitoring, as the collection of highly precise 3D point cloud data is no longer hindered by financial burdens.
