an interactive heuristic approach can offer a practical solution to the problem of linear integer programming (lip) by combining an optimization technique with the decision maker’s (dm) judgment and technical supervision. this is made possible using the concept of bicriterion linear programming (blp) problem in an integer environment. this model proposes two bicriterion linear programs for iden...

the management of agricultural education faces on-going challenges to deliver current and effective materials in an approach that takes advantage of developments in education technology. in this article the use of blended learning was compared with the traditional approach for the instruction of theoretical materials in agricultural education. this study used a pre-test, post-test experimental ...

recently, lotfi et al. [10] established an equivalence model between the output-oriented dual ccr model and multiple objective linear programming (molp) and used an interactive method for finding target unit on efficiency frontier such that the decision maker preferences can be taken into account. however their method is not applicable for situations in which some outputs are undesirable and ne...

urban space can be the most successful public arena in this century if employ the potentialsfor collective cooperation in creative ways in order to provide further services. the theory of creative city tries tostrengthen the qualities which enhance the image of a city for the citizens and create a dynamic city in terms of cultureand intercultural learning. therefore, the existence of generator,...

background: a combination of teaching modalities instead of a single method may enhance learning. the purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effectiveness of integrating e-learning modules into the syllabi of clinical contents from different clinical majors at different levels. methods: a total of 108 undergraduate students enrolled from various clinical majors, and participated via u...

this study explores the effect of online annotations via interactive white boards (iwbs) on reading comprehension of iranian efl learners. to this aim, 60 students from a language institute were selected as homogeneous based on their performance on oxford placement test (2014).then, they were randomly assigned to 3 experimental groups of 20, and subsequently exposed to the research treatment af...

This paper describes an environment for editing and performing interactive media art/entertainment. The design background is to provide artistic/entertainment pieces, in which multiple people can participate without special sensory equipment. This paper introduces a gesture input function using color tags in the image and some matching functions to be used for writing a piece. This paper shows ...

Automatism will be incorporated in interactive media art, of which the ultimate aim is audience participation, to provide an extended experience for audience to interact with the work in unconsciousness. This thesis suggests that applying automatism of surrealism to Kinect will expand the access to art for audience and avoid being limited to a simple and short-term amusement. Based on surrealis...
