In education, instructors adopt different instructional modes that correspond to their preferred teaching style: some focus on principles and others on applications; some present the material in a logical progression of small incremental steps, others proceed from the big picture to the detail and so on. On the other side, students are characterized by different learning styles: preferences or ...

We propose a practical iterative remeshing algorithm for multi-material tetrahedral meshes which is solely based on simple local topological operations, such as edge collapse, flip, split and vertex smoothing. To do so, we exploit an intermediate implicit feature complex which reconstructs piecewise smooth multi-material boundaries made of surface patches, feature edges and corner vertices. Fut...

This document supports the main paper by providing further explanations, results, a worked example, and detailed pseudocode for our optimization techniques. Section 1 explains our lens optimization in detail, which determines optical aspherical lens shapes and complementary focal surfaces given an input lens width size in pixels and the field of view. Section 2 presents our discrete light field...

Given a set of N such shape samples {s, . . . , s}, a parametric statistical subspace of the object’s shape variance can be retrieved by first applying Generalised Procrustes Analysis on the shapes to normalise them with respect to the global similarity transform (i.e., scale, in-plane rotation and translation) and then using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The returned shape subspace is fu...

Proof. Base case: The messages in the path w1 → w2 are correct. This is trivially true since all the incoming messages to w1 and to the nodes in the path M(w1 → w2) have been correctly evaluated during initialization. Therefore, after we absorb the measurement in the potential of Xw1 , propagating from w1 → w2 will give us the correct messages. Induction step: We will assume now that the messag...

in today’s dynamic market, organizations must be adaptive to market fluctuations. in addition, studies show that material-handling cost makes up between 20 and 50 percent of the total operating cost. therefore, this paper considers the problem of arranging and rearranging, when there are changes in product mix and demand, manufacturing facilities such that the sum of material handling and rearr...

Formulaic language and sequence as the core characteristic of real-life language and native-like fluency, has been a subject of inquiry in recent decades. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of two extensive reading text types, i.e., adaptive and authentic, on Iranian EFL learners’ development of lexical bundles. To this aim, 20 intermediate EFL learners were chosen to pa...
