Blended interaction often is about blending the physical with the digital. In contrast to common discussions of blending that focus on the commonality of the input domains we focus on the unique features of interacting with physical and digital artifacts. We propose PIBADIBA lists (Physical Is Better At – Digital Is Better At) that capture the strengths of using the physical and digital realms ...

This paper presents inductance simulators using the voltage differencing differential input buffered amplifier (VD-DIBA) as an active building block. Three types of simulators, including floating lossless inductance, series inductance-resistance, and parallel inductance-resistance are proposed, in addition to their application 4th order elliptic lowpass ladder filter. The simple design procedur...

soybean mosaic virus (smv) which belongs to the virus family potyviridae, causes a disease in soybean that is present in soybean-growing areas of the world, and is widely distributed in northern iran. detection of smv is very important for disease management. in the present study several serological and molecular (nucleic acid- based) methods of rapid virus detection were compared. serological ...

frangibility and short life of textile in comparison to other cultural inheritances of iran led to disappearance of this precious object through the centuries. hence we must focus on other documents like written documents or visual representations to defining their essence. these records can demonstrate their materials quality, patterns, producing centers. the present research tries to investig...

In this paper, we describe a new fault-tolerant architecture to realize an ethernet layer-2 switch. This architecture includes a memory buffer scheduler to assign memory buffers dynamically to the input ports of the switch. To evaluate this architecture and produce throughput and latency projections, we have developed a switch simulator called NUSIM. This simulation environment has helped us id...

The purpose of this study is to introduce an application of fuzzy centroid-based approach to ranking the customer requirements using QFD with competition considerations for Diba Fiberglass, an Iranian Company. The illustrated approach, not only focuses on the normal fuzzy numbers, but also considers the non-normal fuzzy numbers to capture the true customer requirements. To this end, first, we p...

Caloapenesia Terayama is characterized by having the costal cell very long, the stigma of forewing absent, and the paramere deeply divided into two arms. Three species of this genus were known from Oriental Region. Sixteen new species from Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam: C. ana sp. nov., C. arbeni sp. nov., C. diba sp. nov., C. edas sp. nov., C. heira sp. nov., C. inyara sp. nov., C. jailuna s...
