A LapBox derivative, the Textural Crossfader is a keyboardbased embedded acoustic instrument, which sits comfortably across the performer s lap and radiates sound out of integrated stereo speakers. The performer controls the sound by manipulating the keys on a pair of mini-keyboard interfaces. A unique one-to-one mapping enables the performer to precisely crossfade among a set of looped audio w...

The formation of atoll garnet in the Ardara aureole, NW Ireland, is discussed using the textural, chemical and Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) data. Textural evidence suggests the possibility of incipient of garnet replacement from the core. In addition, the presence of staurolite and andalusite in the core of small atoll garnets as well as the occurrence of sillimanite in the core of l...

Ternary iron arsenide EuFe2 As2 with ThCr2 Si2 -type structure has been studied by magnetic susceptibility, resistivity, thermopower, Hall, and specific-heat measurements. The compound undergoes two magnetic phase transitions at about 200 and 20 K, respectively. The former was found to be accompanied with a slight drop in magnetic susceptibility (after subtracting the Curie-Weiss paramagnetic c...

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of omega-3 supplementation on young wrestler's pulmonary function during intensive wrestling training. Forty healthy young male wrestlers participated in this study. The subjects were randomly divided into experimental (n=10), placebo (n=10), active control (n=10) and inactive control (n=10) groups. Participants in experimental, placebo and a...

The problems associated with the consumption of high-fat foods have increased the requirement to use new formulations based on fat replacer. Inulin has textural properties and it’s a prebiotic source. Due to the cream’s wide usage in dairy industry, it is tried to make cream with textural and organoleptic characteristics that contains the least amount of calories. Meanwhile, Table cream (30%) w...

This paper describes peculiar qualitative effects occurring in texture appearance, resulting from the manipulation of the amount of textural microelements. Keeping fixed the textural local properties, the increase of microelements’ number produces a texture aspect more homogeneous and denser. Conversely, patterns filled by a small number of elements exhibit a more salient subparts’ articulation...

recently, the finished cost reduction policy-as an efficient economic policy for competitiveness of domestic products beside foreign competitors-has been paying attention by ministry of commerce of iran. at the fist look, the protection of intellectual property such as inventions increases the finished cost of products; but intellectual property protection can be effective in finished cost redu...
