Creating modern software is a challenging but also a very creative task. Especially in early development phases like requirements engineering or architectural design software engineers use different mediums to manifest their thoughts and to discuss possible ambiguities. These mediums range from analog tools like pen & paper or whiteboards to digital ones like tablet pc’s or smartboards. Whereas...

Abstract In this research topic, two-dimensional tunnels made of different mediums (including the contrast gas-solid condition and solid-solid with or without a bump) are designed to compare how they influence velocity pressure fluid when is flowing through them. The Navier-Stokes momentum equation used guide project set up equations motion for these models. At same time, Newton’s law viscosity...

Over the years, marketing conventions have frequently been changing. This change has resulted in different forms of working more efficiently for certain tasks than others. Using AI or Influencers to market a brand's product shown exponential growth by firms past 5 years. The present study analyses consumer's preference towards mediums. Previous research shows brands shifting from conventional m...

We study electromagnetic wave propagation in mediums in which the effective relative permittivity and the effective relative permeability are allowed to take any value in the upper half of the complex plane. A general condition is derived for the phase velocity to be oppositely directed to the power flow. That extends the recently studied case of propagation in mediums for which the relative pe...

Heterogeneous and hybrid smart grid communication network is comprised of different communication mediums and technologies. Performance evaluation is one of the main concerns for smart grid communication system. In any smart grid communication implementation, to determine the performance factor of the network, a testing of an end-to-end process flow is required. An effective and coordinated tes...

A light ray, incident at about 50 to the normal, io geometrically plotted through the drawing of the cross section of a soybean leaf using Fresnel's Equations and Snell's Law. The optical mediums of the leaf considered for ray tracing are: air, cell sap, chloroplast and cell wall. The above ray is also drawn through the same leaf cross section considering cell wall and air as the only optical m...

In this paper, we present a preliminary evaluation of a text-based and graphical version of an interactive fiction game that we created to look at how the user experience varies across the different mediums and modalities.

Mobile devices have become a popular form of interacting with others, even those in a shared setting. When copresent, communication mediums like SMS and IM also provide channels to engage in discussions that parallel larger, more central discussions, such as lectures and presentations. In the interest of exploring this phenomenon, we present Backchannel, a mobile application for communicating w...

“Tameshi-giri” (or “suemono-giri”), in which corpses were used as mediums to test the quality of swords or the skill of swordsmen, was an unusual cultural practice of the samurai (i.e., warrior) class in feudal era Japan. Although tameshi-giri as a modern martial art jargon referring to “a method of training in the use of a sword by cutting conventional mediums” has already been imported to the...
