The information technology’s applications in cyberspace (the internet) are currently dominated by social media. The author investigates and explores the advantages of social media implementation of any political party in Indonesian general legislative elections 2014. There are twelve national political parties participating in the election as contestants plus three local political parties in Ac...

OBJECTIVE (i) To identify determinants of participation in the 'Healthy School Canteen Program', a programme that encourages schools to set up their canteen in a way that promotes healthy dietary behaviour. (ii) To compare food supply and actions between participating and non-participating schools. (iii) To investigate what reasons schools have to increase attention for nutrition in the curricu...

We study the economic aspects of P2P systems. We present a cost-profit analysis of a media streaming service deployed over a peer-to-peer (P2P) infrastructure. We consider the limited capacity as well as the heterogeneity of peers in the analysis. The analysis shows that with the appropriate incentives for participating peers, the service provider achieves more profit. In addition, the analysis...

Fast realistic rendering of objects in scattering media is still a challenging topic in computer graphics. In presence of participating media, a light beam is repeatedly scattered by media particles, changing direction and getting spread out. Explicitly evaluating this beam distribution would enable efficient simulation of multiple scattering events without involving costly stochastic methods. ...

the main purpose of this article is to study comparatively the political participation of young and middle-aged people in noorabad mamasani and its related social factors. to explain the research problem, we have used the theory of political socialization and milbrath’s theory. we distributed questionnaires among 610 young and middle aged people in noorabad mamasani, who were selected through a...

       Undoubtedly, the social world is changing and one of the main factors of transformation in the current world is new and modern technological achievements which are considered as modern media. However, due to their emerging nature of these media, there has been no agreement on their positive or negative effects and there have been different ideas about the effect of these modern media...

Despite their numerous applications, efficiently rendering participating media remains a challenging task due to the intricacy of the radiative transport equation. While numerical techniques remain the method of choice for addressing complex problems, a closedform solution to the air-light integral in optically thin isotropic media was recently derived. In this paper, we extend this work and pr...

An interactive graphic application has been developed to previsualize in 3D volume photon maps. The basic tool used has been VTK. The information to visualize comes from a physically-based render engine developed by the authors as well; This render engine uses the global illumination technique called volume photon mapping that allows to simulate the light transport in participating media and mo...
