Abstract At least since the practical complexity of media landscapes is growing, theoretical communication has to be widened (horizon and frame) deepened (focus) — especially when fulfilling mission quality science: generating on a level logical theory towards subject that not an object by itself but culturally programmed metaphor description: communication, culture, society etc. The or charact...

Several episodic simulation studies have suggested that the plausibility of future events may be influenced by the disparateness of the details comprising the event. However, no study had directly investigated this idea. In the current study, we designed a novel episodic combination paradigm that varied the disparateness of details through a social sphere manipulation. Participants recalled mem...

There are several characteristics of silver agglomerates that are not incorporated in existing models for agglomerate dynamics. These characteristics include particle alignment in the electric field, necking between particles, polydispersity of the primary particles, and variable primary sphere size. Estimates of these features on the agglomerate dynamics were computed as perturbations to the C...

In this paper, we empirically test for the influence of fairness considerations on the willingness to redistribute income in private and in democratic decisions. In contrast to standard explanations of income redistribution, our theory takes into account that prices shift decisively as we move from the sphere of private contributions to politics. At the polls, it is nearly costless to observe s...

We present an eecient 3D meshing algorithm which combines the merits of two popular meshing methods, advancing front and sphere packing methods. In particular , it inherits the practicality and simplicity of advancing front and the size-and-quality guarantee of the sphere packing method. We prove that it generates a well-shaped mesh whose size is within a constant factor of the optimal possible...

The emergence of social media and their wide usage have brought changes in almost all fields of public sphere. Nowadays governmental organizations, agencies and politicians use social media in order to ensure major civil participation, enhance e-dialogue and e-democracy consequently, emphasizing thus in participatory processes through which opinions are co-shaped and decisions are jointly made....

Collections of random packings of rigid disks and spheres have been generated by computer using a previously described concurrent algorithm. Particles begin as infinitesimal moving points, grow in size at a uniform rate, undergo energynonconserving collisions, and eventually jam up. Periodic boundary conditions apply, and various numbers of particles have been considered (N~<2000 for disks, N~<...

a facile co-precipitation method for the synthesis of well-dispersed ndfeo3 nanocrystals is developed in the presence of octanoic acid as surfactant. co-precipitation can produce fine, high-purity, stoichiometric particles of single and multicomponent metal oxides. the product is characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microsc...
