in the modern era and through abstraction, art turns to a path in which the beginning and end of an artwork get closer together than in any other era in an attempt to make the minimum space between the subject and the object, or the work and viewer so that the work is created while receiving the minimum influence from the external world and maximum closeness to the very essence of abstraction a...

poetic analysis involves the explication of a poem by focusing on the process of semiosis in it. through semiosis linguistic meaning is transformed into stylistic meaning. an examination of semiosis brings us to look at the hypersemanticized poetic structures which are none other than the style features of a poem. since style functions in a literary text by conveying meanings other than literal...

The paper first discusses early work that predated internet art and that was concerned with active audience participation in electronic art and describes the path of development of the first author’s artworks that have looked at human to human communication through electronic (computer) systems from 1970 until today. The fundamental concept has been to make artworks that explore human communica...

Random testing (RT) is a basic software testing method. When used to detect software failures, RT usually generates random test cases according to a uniform distribution. Adaptive random testing (ART) is an innovative approach to enhancing the failure-detection capability of RT. Most ART algorithms are composed of two independent processes, namely the candidate generation process and the test c...

The growing scarcity of fresh water is driving the implementation of wastewater treatment and water reuse on an increasingly large scale. Various methods have been developed and used for water reuse from wastewater; however, the membrane distillation (MD) process, as a promising separation technology, has recently gained more attention. The MD process is a non-isothermal membrane-based separati...

Supply chain management is the combination of art and science that goes into improving the supply chain. In some cases of supply chain especially two-stage process, differing weights for the same factors, may not acceptable. The purpose of this paper is a performance evaluation of two-stage using DEA and based on a CSW model and this method for ranking two-stage and could be used to measure the...
