Labelling strategies in metabarcoding studies & how to ensure that nucleotide tags stay place Metabarcoding of environmental DNA (eDNA) and extracted from bulk specimen samples is a powerful tool ecological interactions, diet biodiversity, as its labelling amplicons allows high-throughput sequencing taxonomically informative sequences many parallel. The backbone the addition sample-spec...

Mobile games now represent the largest sector of the game market when measured by revenue [1]. Ubiquitous smartphones with their wide range of integrated peripherals present designers with opportunities to use the devices in novel ways. Our goal was to build an Android app that turns a smartphone into the equipment to play a game similar to “laser tag”. A two-player game has been implemented as...

maintaining customer interest to repurchase is an important issue in today's competitive market of italian restaurants in tehran. therefore, determining the reasons that caused switching intention in customers, can be leading to arrange marketing purposes. so this research intends to evaluate effect of perceived quality, satiation and satisfaction on switching intention and to examine mode...

Rapidly shaping or refocusing an incident Gaussian laser beam enables a variety of novel local materials processes in pulsed and CW applications. Spatial light modulators and other adaptive technologies have been successfully used for beam sculpting, however in high energy and power materials processing applications their physical size, associated pixelation, slow switching speeds, and incident...

In this paper, a new bidirectional buck-boost dc-dc converter with capability of soft switching and zero input current ripple is proposed. The coupled inductor is used in the proposed converter to eliminate the input current ripple. In the proposed converter, zero voltage switching (ZVS) and zero current switching (ZCS) can be obtained for the main and auxiliary switches, respectively. In addit...

This paper proposes a switching adaptive control for trajectory tracking of unmanned aircraft systems. The switching adaptive control method is designed to overcome the wind disturbance and achieve a proper tracking performance for control systems. In the suggested system, the wind disturbance is regarded as a finite set of uncertainties; a controller is designed for each uncertainty, and a per...

This paper presents a novel control method to improve the efficiency of low-voltage DC-DC converters at light loads. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) converters have poor efficiencies at light loads, while pulse frequency modulation (PFM) control is more efficient for the same cases. Switching losses constitute a major portion of the total power loss at light loads. To decrease the switching losses...

A common method to study the dynamic behavior of macroeconomic variables is using linear time series models; however, they are unable to explain nonlinear behavior of the series. Given the dependency between stock market and derivatives, the behavior of the underlying asset price can be modeled using Markov switching process properties and the economic regime significance. In this paper, a two-...
