چکیده

This paper presents an exploratory study that investigates the impact of using a Virtual Reality Environment (VRE) on enhancing creativity in imaginative writing at primary school level. The intervention was to present the pupils with an interactive 3D environment, using Virtual Reality (VR) technology, that provided the setting in which their stories could take place. Numerous interactive features were incorporated into the VRE, giving a sense of adventure, but no human or other animated characters were portrayed. The main aim of the study was to investigate if a VRE could increase motivation and stimulate pupils’ imagination in the context of a writing task that is part of normal school practice and of the National Curriculum (not a special research task). This paper provides a description of the graphical environment and the technology used in the trials, presents the methodology and discusses the outcomes and future work.

$Z_k$-Magic Labeling of Some Families of Graphs

For any non-trivial abelian group A under addition a graph $G$ is said to be $A$-textit{magic}  if there exists a labeling $f:E(G) rightarrow A-{0}$ such that, the vertex labeling $f^+$  defined as $f^+(v) = sum f(uv)$ taken over all edges $uv$ incident at $v$ is a constant. An $A$-textit{magic} graph $G$ is said to be $Z_k$-magic graph if the group $A$ is $Z_k$  the group of integers modulo $k...

The wizards use the latter one to deceive people. The motive for choosing this topic among other ones is that some people resort to the magic for different reasons such as: outbreaking demons for the ...

Mixed cycle-E-super magic decomposition of complete bipartite graphs

An H-magic labeling in a H-decomposable graph G is a bijection f : V (G) ∪ E(G) → {1, 2, ..., p + q} such that for every copy H in the decomposition, ΣνεV(H) f(v) +  ΣeεE(H) f(e) is constant. f is said to be H-E-super magic if f(E(G)) = {1, 2, · · · , q}. A family of subgraphs H1,H2, · · · ,Hh of G is a mixed cycle-decomposition of G if every subgraph Hi is isomorphic to some cycle Ck, for k ≥ ...

A cottage industry of lax extensions

In this work, we describe an adjunction between the comma category of Set-based monads under the V -powerset monad and the category of associative lax extensions of Set-based monads to the category of V -relations. In the process, we give a general construction of the Kleisli extension of a monad to the category of V-relations.
