abstract there is interchange of cultures and different kinds of ethnos music in the world between different cultures as acculturation. the economical, trade and political interchange, war and immigration has played a prominent role on acculturation; and obviously most of the time dominant culture has more influence on the other culture. one of the acculturation in the field of music devoted to...

INTRODUCTION High coverage of immunization is one of the indicators of good performance of health system but timely vaccination is another indicator which is associated with protective effect of vaccines. The present study aimed at evaluating the inequity in timely vaccination with a focus on inequities in timeliness by gender, birth order, parents' education and place of residence (rural or ur...

Our description of the cytosolic binding activity and subsequent isolation and characterization of a specific intestinal fatty acid bindingproteus (FABP) have largely withstood the test of time and have generated new questions. One of my coauihors, Joan A. Manning, remains a memberof the research teem; her excellent contributions have played a major role in iii subsequent accomplishments. Altho...

At some historical points, all classes and professions of a society, despite all the differences and disagreements, flow into one single stream to reach a higher goal. Iranians have had this historical experience many times throughout history: during the Constitutional Revolution (1905-1911), and also in the Islamic Revolution in 1979. In the Constitutional Revolution, all classes and professio...

frangibility and short life of textile in comparison to other cultural inheritances of iran led to disappearance of this precious object through the centuries. hence we must focus on other documents like written documents or visual representations to defining their essence. these records can demonstrate their materials quality, patterns, producing centers. the present research tries to investig...

In this paper we present a very fast method for body-cloth animation. The usual bottle-neck in cloth simulation performance is collision detection, which becomes more difficult to solve when a complex geometry, like a human body, is involved. Recent image based methods, that use depth images to detect collisions, usually relays on CPU for collision correction. In our work we implement a GPU bas...

conclusions however, performances of dyslexic group and reading level matched group were different and inconsistent in some cases. results this study found similar spelling error profiles among the dyslexic students and the reading-level-matched group, and these profiles were different from those of the age-matched group. however, the performances of the dyslexic group and the reading-level-mat...

Woven cloth can commonly be seen in daily life and also in animation. Unless prevented in some way, woven cloth usually frays at the edges. However, in computer graphics, woven cloth is typically modeled as a continuum sheet, which is not suitable for representing frays. This paper proposes a model that allows yarn movement and slippage during cloth tearing. Drawing upon techniques from textile...
