Computer supported tools have failed to be of assistance to designers during the early, conceptual phase of design projects. Computer Aided Design applications have been criticised for their output, input, and interfaces, which are unexpressive and overly precise, under-sensitive, and distracting, respectively. In this paper we discuss some aspects of computer-supported tools as whole products ...

With the development of medical research and Human Computer Interaction, Brain Computer Interface (BCI), which is an interesting intersection between these two fields, is becoming a more and more popular topic. Various researches and commercial products have been created to support the applications of Brain Computer Interface. In this paper, a BCI based games is introduced to help people traini...

Despite advances in computer technology, bringing products to market remains a complex activity. In particular, it is within the concept phase of product development where information used for decision making is at its most nebulous. This paper describes research to investigate how computer technologies can be applied to optimise decision making in concept development activities. The study resu...

A computer simulation model for the heat pump dehumidified air drying for garlic and white mulberry leaves was developed. The Modified Page model was found suitable in describing the drying curves. The computer simulation model was verified against heat pump dehumidified drying data of garlic and white mulberry leaves. The results revealed that drying air temperature and relative humidity influ...

This paper presents the need for specific curricula in order to address the training of specialists in the area of Interactive Critical Systems. Indeed, while curricula are usually built in order to produce specialists in one discipline (e.g. computer science) dealing with systems or products requires training in multiple disciplines. The area of Interactive Critical Systems requires deep knowl...

The present work investigates an appropriate way to calculate the 1700 atomic density changes in the reactor operations. To automate this procedure, a computer program has been designed by C#. This program suggests a way to solve this problem which is based on the solution system of differential equations (Bitman) that it is designed according to Runge-Kutta Fehlberg method. The designed softwa...

Over the last few years, role of computers has become a controversial issue in language learning. This study was designed to examine the impact of computer anxiety and computer self-efficacy on the speaking section of the TOEFL iBT test taken by Intermediate EFL learners. The researchers intended to find out, which var- iable i.e. computer anxiety and/or self-efficacy would result in better per...

Computer-based analysis revealed that natural products exhibit a remarkable structural diversity of molecular frameworks and scaffolds that could be systematically exploited for combinatorial synthesis. Natural products offer a rich pool of unique molecular frameworks that complement “drug space”. They possess desirable druglike properties rendering them ideal starting points for molecular desi...

The thermal oxidation of propane in the temperature range 350-425oC was studied in order to elucidate the role of higher aldehydes as degenerate branching intermediates in the oxidation of hydrocarbons. In the slow combustion of propane, the high yield of propylene and methanol as the primary products, the formation of hydrogen peroxide, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, formaldehyde and steam a...

Recently, people pay more and more attention to the healthy lifestyles. And there is an increasing demand for the green agricultural products in real life. With the rapid development of the computer network technology and the electronic commerce, the emergence of e-business provides a new idea to promote the service of agricultural products. A huge supply chain network is established by the new...
