This paper presents results of previous investigations involving 1D and 2D resistivity imaging linear geological structures with varying traverse orientations relative to the structure azimuth a view determining effect such variation on resolution structures. It observed that orientation fault significantly determines while alignment vertical electrical sounding (VES) defines form VES curve lea...

INTRODUCTION There is increasing international interest in universal, health promoting services for pregnancy and the first three years of life and the concept of proportionate universalism. Drawing on a narrative review of literature, this paper explores mechanisms by which such services might contribute to health improvement and reducing health inequalities. OBJECTIVES Through a narrative r...

BACKGROUND The question of whether children and infants have memory capabilities similar to adults has long been of interest. Until recently, it was thought that compared to adults, infants have very limited memory processing abilities. Knowledge about factors affecting a child's memory abilities can help families (specifically mothers) behave in a manner that best benefits their children in la...

Computer games can involve narrative and story elements integrating different forms of interactivity and using different strategies for combining interaction with non-interactive story and narrative elements. While some forms of interactive narrative involve simple selection between fixed narrative sequences, computer games more typically involve the integration of narrative with game play base...

The IRIS Network of Excellence (NoE) started its work in January 2009. In this paper we highlight some new research directions developing within the network: one is revisiting narrative formalisation through the use of Linear Logic and the other is challenging the conventional framework of basing Interactive Storytelling on computer graphics to explore the content-based recombination of video s...

The Australian debate over AUKUS, and its strategic policy more generally, has been notable for disjointed incoherent nature. This article seeks to explain why, arguing that Australia the beneficiary of a remarkably benign situation nearly 80 years, something distorted our understanding underlying landscape.

In this paper, we briefly introduce the Narrative Information Linear Extraction (NILE) system, a natural language processing library for clinical narratives. NILE is an experiment of our ideas on efficient and effective medical language processing. We introduce the overall design of NILE and its major components, and show the performance of it in real projects.

This document describes how to re-purpose an existing agent technology called Virtual Institutions as a mechanism to define new “quest” elements in Massively Multiplayer Online Games based on MultiAgent Systems. Quests are a very important part of most Massive Online Games as they wield to flow and narrative of the game in a linear or non-

In video games the player’s actions shape the narrative of their personal experience, molding what otherwise would be a linear course. This emergent narrative is in a state of constant transformation, dependent on how the player influences it. This paper explores how the players traverse ergodic media such as video games and how narrative emerges from the interactions between them and the syste...
