In this research, a combination of passive and active methods is used to design a nearly zero energy building in four major climatic regions of Iran, including cold, mild, dry-warm, and wet-warm ones. The annual energy consumption analysis is performed using DesignBuilder® software. The passive strategies include Trombe Wall, blue roof, and thermochromic windows, and the active methods are usin...

This paper introduces four new resistorless circuits of first-order current-mode all-pass filter (CMAPF) based on dual-X current conveyor transconductance amplifier (DXCCTA). All the four circuits use a single DXCCTA and a capacitor for their realization. The main features of the proposed CMAPFs are: use of minimum active and passive components, resistorless realization, electronically adjustab...

Proprioception is essential for joint function and through which individual can detect body parts movement in space. Aim of present study is to investigate effect of balance training on unstable platform with tilting, translation and combined motion on knee joint position sense in active young males. 39 healthy active male divided in to three training and control (n=9) groups. Training on unsta...

A colour design tool targeted at both unskilled consumers and professional designers is currently under development, on the basis of psychophysical studies into semantic associations of colour, the cultural influences and colour harmony. From experimental results for single-colour associations, 3 underlying factors were identified: “warm-cool”, “heavy-light” and “active-passive”, which were fou...

As is well known, in order for the Einstein–Hilbert action to have a well defined variation, and therefore to be used for deriving field equation through the stationary action principle, it has to be amended by the addition of a suitable boundary term. It has recently been claimed that, if one constructs an action by adding this term to the matter action, the Einstein field equations can be der...

Given a property of Boolean functions, what is the minimum number of queries required to determine with high probability if an input function satisfies this property? This is a fundamental question in Property Testing, where traditionally the testing algorithm is allowed to pick its queries among the entire set of inputs. Balcan et al. have recently suggested to restrict the tester to take its ...

Regardless of the specific electromagnetic discipline involved, an understanding of basic filter design techniques and applications is essential for reducing emission (and resulting radiation) problems. Passive or active filters are used to reduce conducted emissions on powerlines, signal lines, and control lines, as well as for decoupling protection between noisy circuit components. Therefore,...
