Motivations to engage in retail online shopping can include both utilitarian and hedonic shopping dimensions. To cater to these consumers, online retailers can create a cognitively and esthetically rich shopping environment, through sophisticated levels of interactive web utilities and features, offering not only utilitarian benefits and attributes but also providing hedonic benefits of enjoyme...

There is a rising trend of data analysis and visualization tasks being performed on a tablet device. Apps with interactive data visualization capabilities are available for a wide variety of domains. We investigate whether users grasp how to e↵ectively interpret and interact with visualizations. We conducted a detailed user evaluation to study the abilities of individuals with respect to analyz...

MEOLI, DINA. Interactive Electronic Textiles: Technologies, Applications, Opportunities, and Market Potential. (Under the direction of Dr. Traci May-Plumlee.) The developing area of interactive electronic textiles is generating an abundance of literature within the textile industry. Presently, researchers in this area are working toward the development of interactive touch and voice activated w...

Sparse Voxel Directed Acyclic Graphs (SVDAGs) are an efficient solution for storing high-resolution voxel geometry. Recently, algorithms the interactive modification of SVDAGs have been proposed that maintain compressed geometric representation. Nevertheless, attributes, such as colours, require uncompressed storage, which can result in high memory usage over course application. The reason is c...

abstract for evaluating nacl salinity effect on some physiological and qualitative attributes of five winter canola cultivars, an experiment was conducted in a rcd base factorial in three replicates in greenhouse of east azarbaijan agricultural research center in 2008. five salinity levels as 0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mm nacl treated as first factor on five rape seed (fornax, licord, elite, slm04...

Differences between large-scale historical population archives and small decentralized databases can be used to improve data quality and record connectedness in both types of databases. A parser is developed to account for differences in syntax and data representation models. A matching procedure is described to discover records from different databases referring to the same historical event. T...

In this paper we describe a system where behavior of characters and groups of characters are determined by assigning attributes to groups and individuals hierarchically and by using random values as a default, combined with behavior maps that allow the user or the program to specify conditions that modify the behavior of the characters. Different path selection algorithms are used depending on ...

This paper deals with model transformations based on attributed graphs transformation. Our approach is based on the categorical approach called Single Pushout. The principal goal being to strengthen the attribute computation part, we generalize our earlier approach based on the use of typed lambda-terms with inductive types and recursion to represent attributes and computation functions. The ge...

This paper presents an intelligent diagnostic supporting system – iDiaKAW (Intelligent and Interactive Knowledge Acquisition Workbench), which automatically extracts useful knowledge from massive medical data to support real medical diagnosis. In which, our two novel pre-processing algorithms MIDCA (Multivariate Interdependent Discretization for Continuousvalued Attributes) and LUIFS (Latent Ut...
