Multiscale Accessibility—A New Perspective of Space Structuration

Informatization of local democracy: A structuration perspective

Academics and researchers face a challenge of making sense of the role e-democracy plays in the democratic process and with what implications. This requires a deeper understanding of the objectives and assumptions that underpin e-democracy innovations, as well as institutional and technology structures that condition their role in democratic engagement. This paper interprets case study data col...

Guiding Situational Applications from a Structuration Perspective

Situational applications are a new breed of software assumed to fit to the types of tasks and contextual requirements encountered in dynamic work environments described as weakly structured, highly diverse and fastchanging. The aim of this paper is to discuss the characteristics of situational applications and how organizations can benefit from them with the help of Structuration Theory. Concep...

Space-time Multiscale Laminated Theory

Multiscale computational techniques in space and time are developed to study the impact response of thin, elastic, laminated composites. The displacement field is approximated using asymptotic expansion in space and time. Using the homogenization procedure in space and time, nonlocal membrane and bending equations of motion are derived. The nonlocal equations are stabilized to filter out the hi...

A New Perspective on Gravity and Dynamics of Space Time

The Einstein–Hilbert action has a bulk term and a surface term (which arises from integrating a four divergence). I show that one can obtain Einstein’s equations from the surface term alone. This leads to: (i) a novel, completely self-contained, perspective on gravity and (ii) a concrete mathematical framework in which the description of space– time dynamics by Einstein’s equations is similar t...
