This investigation examined the mixed effects of visual input enhancement, explicit instruction, pushed output, and corrective feedback on noticing and intake of English conjunctive adverbs. Participants included 83 intermediate EFL students enrolled in a grammar and writing course. They were assigned to a control group (n = 22), explicit instruction + pushed output + explicit corrective feedba...

We developed original solenoid actuator units with several built-in sensors, and produced a box-shaped musical interface “PocoPoco” using 16 units of them as a universal input/output device. We applied up-and-down movement of the solenoid-units and user’s intuitive input to musical interface. Using transformation of the physical interface, we can apply movement of the units to new interaction d...

The relative gain array (RGA) and condition number are commonly used tools in controllability analysis. In this paper we present new results that link these measures to control performance, measured in terms of the output sensitivity function with input and output uncertainty.

This is the fourth year for the minitrack on Multimedia Information Systems at the Annual Hawaii International Conference o presence of this minitrack r recent proliferation of multimedia applications. This proliferation has been driven by technological advances resulting in dramatic decreases in price/perfonnance ratios in processing and storage technologies, video and audio input/output devic...
