...A Case Study on the Effects of Playing DotA (Defense of the Ancients) on the Academic Performance of the Students of UCLM CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND INTRODUCTION Playing games is a part of growing up. It aids in cognitive development and social skills, and can even act as a stepping stone into the world of integration, which can be a very stressful process. Basically, children play outdoors. But the world we are in today, they are more into computer and online games. Though it is safer than playing outside, with the touch of modern technology, it becomes more than just a play. These games become an addiction. Undeniably, internet shops are full of students, playing. The most popular and most-discussed free, non-supported game mod in the world for the past 30 years up until today is DoTa (Defense of the Ancients). It is a multiplayer online battle arena mod for the video game Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and its expansion, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, based on the "Aeon of Strife" map for StarCraft. The scenario objective is for each team to destroy the opponents' Ancient, heavily guarded structures at opposing corners of the map. Players use powerful units known as heroes, and are assisted by allied heroes and AI-controlled fighters. As in role-playing games, players level up their heroes and use gold to buy equipment during the mission. Today millions of students have been playing DotA games and become their habit that it is so hard for them to avoid...

... "Responsible gaming is an attitude we need if we are engage into Computer Game. Developing this attitude is not a personal choice alone, it requires the participation of society (parents, school, and game developer and government)." As a computer game user, player and fan, it has led me to study the effects of playing computer games such as DOTA, KHAN, and other highly innovative and competitively graphical games. The purpose of the study was to establish an understanding of to what extent is the effect of playing online games, network games and other types to the studies of the students in the university where I graduated. While it was difficult to set a parameter of classifying games according to types and quality since I and my friend believed that the characteristics of the games have something to do with the addiction of students to playing, we thought that it would be safe to just assume games as if have the same characteristics even though these games are under of different types and of the different level of complex graphical presentation, level of real-time experiences, the plot of story it is trying to project and a lot more qualities. Thus, if we quantify the effects then assumption holds that each game that we have studied has a relatively the same impact to students considering its character/quality. However, the extent of its impact is relatively different when we talk about the degree of variation to students experiences towards gaming. This shows therefore that...

...CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND INTRODUCTION Defense of the Ancients (DOTA) is a custom scenario for Warcraft III, based on the "Aenon of Strife" map for StarCraft. The objective of the scenario is to destroy the opponents' "Ancient". The two teams' ancients are heavily guarded structures at opposing corners of the map. Players use powerful units known as heroes, and are assisted by allied heroes and AI-controlled fighters called "creeps". With successive versions, features, heroes, items, abilities, and graphics are added to updated and bugs are fixed. 0n the DOTA’s, All-stars, forum, users can be post ideas, for new heroes or items, some of which are added to the map. Ice frog recently added anew hero based off submission for a “Model to hero” context or his site. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM The foregoing study is about the influence of playing computer games to the students above 16 yrs. old, specifically the researchers tried to find out the answers to the following problems: 1. Is there a positive effect in playing DOTA? 2. How does DOTA affect the performance of a student? 3. Are they aware of what it can do to them? SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY Nowadays, DOTA game is one of the most popular games here in our country. Millions of youth and children really want to play their favorite games at the computer shops. Because of the large number of youth who patronize the mentioned computer games, the researchers conducted a study on...

Originally developed for Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos (and wildly popular) by Eul, the map was later ported onto Frozen Throne (the expansion pack for Warcraft 3), was released. Currently the most popular ports of DOTA are Allstars, CHAOS and Classic 2.0 Background of the story * DOTA pits two teams of players against each other: the Sentinel and the Scourge. Players on the Sentinel team are based at the southwest corner of the map, and those on the Scourge team are based at the northeast corner. Each base is defended by towers and waves of units which guard the main paths leading to their base. In the center of each base is the "Ancient", a building that must be destroyed to win the game. * Each human player controls one hero, a powerful unit with unique abilities. In DOTA, players on each side choose one of 112 heroes * This research aims to find effects of DOTA into Collage Poly-Tech MARA students (male), especially in their learning. In particular it aims to describe the impact of mass on student learning, identify the reasons why they like to play DOTA, Identify the factors affecting the Collage Poly-Tech MARA students about DOTA, and recognize the importance of learning to balance and DOTA. 3.0 Statement of problem * When their playing DOTA their will miss the class...

Indeed, the youth is the hope of the people for they will be the next generation to cradle the responsibility of leading our nation whilst educating the minds of generation to come. Although, big responsibility of the youth they still need time for them to unwind, relax, to act like the children that they are. And one of ways for them to do that is through playing games. Through the years, games have evolved from ideas crafted from children’s imagination, to simple toys, to the present gadgets and consoles which might require the use of the internet and cost a hefty sum of money.

...SYNTHESIS AND RELEVANCE OF THE REVIEW A general synthetic route to two DOTA-linked N-Fmoc amino acids (DOTA-F and DOTA-K) is described that allows insertion of DOTA at any endo-position within a peptide sequence. Three model pentapeptides were prepared to test the general utility of these derivatives in solid-phase peptide synthesis. Both DOTA derivatives reacted smoothly by means of standard HBTU activation chemistry to the point of insertion of the DOTA amino acid, but extension of the peptide chain beyond the DOTA-amino acid insertion required the use of pre-activated C-pentafluorophenyl ester N-alpha-Fmoc amino acids. Three Gal-80 binding peptides (12-mers) were then prepared by using this methodology with DOTA positioned either at the N terminus or at one of two different internal positions;the binding of the resulting GdDOTA-12-mers to Gal-80 were compared. The methodology described here allows versatile, controlled introduction of DOTA into any location within a peptide sequence. This provides a potential method for the screening of libraries of DOTA-linked peptides for optimal targeting properties This report describes the synthesis and structural characterization of the indium complex of 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid mono(p-aminoanilide) (DOTA-AA), a model compound for 111In-labeled DOTA-biomolecule conjugates. In(DOTA-AA) was prepared by reacting DOTA-AA with 1 equiv of InCl3 in 0.5 M ammonium acetate buffer (pH ∼ 6). It was characterized...

It simple because of the different languages used during the game or what we called “Trash talks”. Trash talks such as foul languages can really lose their temper and values. As a result, the both sides will fight against each other. Gamble is also present in the game, the highest bet is 5,000 pesos and the lowest is 300 pesos. Again, money for them is not that important anymore. Many players says that “Dota is the best past time ever,” so it’s Ok for them to waste their money.
