The musicbox is a tangible interface supporting remote awareness through the mediums of music and light. The musicbox is linked over the Internet to the music and light levels surrounding a remote piano. The system communicates live music and a sense of physical movement through a luminous physical interface, while also providing browsable access to music previously played by the device.

Citizens’ online participation has gained momentum from voting to activism. Citizens of the United Arab Emirates actively utilize social media platforms and sphere express themselves, despite prevalence state authoritarianism. This study, however, does not deal with citizens’ in political affairs via mediums but, rather, focuses upon migrants – or expats who constitute majority UAE population. ...

British 19th century painters formulated gelled systems often described as ideal paint mediums. These so-called megilps or gumtions are based on common materials like linseed oil, lead acetate, and mastic resin, allowed such J.M.W Turner to improve their paint's properties achieve unprecedented effects in an age of innovation. To propose a structural scheme these hybrid complexity, it is paramo...

The phase velocity of plane waves propagating in an isotropic chiral medium can be simultaneously positive for left–circularly polarized light and negative for right–circularly polarized light (or vice versa). The constitutive parameter regimes supporting this phenomenon are established for nondissipative and dissipative mediums. The boundary between positive and negative phase velocity is char...

With the rising prevalence of autism diagnoses, it is essential for research to understand how leverage technology support diverse nature autistic traits. While traditional interventions focused on medical cure and rehabilitation, recent aims can accommodate each unique situation in an efficient engaging way. Extended reality (XR) has been shown be effective improving attention users given that...

background: in vitro model studies are becoming increasingly popular for experimental research designs. they include isolation and expansion of cells of a particular tissue, such as the nervous tissue which contributes to understanding the underlying mechanisms in many pathologies. it enables  the scrutinization of intracellular signaling pathways responsible for cell death. objectives: in the ...

ABSTRACT: We report on a strategy for achieving negative phase velocity (NPV) in a homogenized composite medium (HCM) conceptualized using the Bruggeman formalism. The constituent material phases of the HCM do not support NPV propagation. The HCM and its constituent phases are isotropic dielectric–magnetic mediums; the real parts of their permittivities/permeabilities are negative–valued wherea...

Zuverlässige Multicast-Kommunikation spielt für viele Anwendungen eine wichtige Rolle. In dieser Arbeit wird das Endsystem-Multicast-Protokoll Narada, das ursprünglich für das feste Internet entworfen wurde, für den Einsatz in MANETs angepasst. Dazu gehört die Berücksichtigung des gemeinsam genutzten Mediums, eine intelligente Suche von Overlay-Nachbarn und eine verbesserte Metrik zur OverlayOp...
