What could it mean to take a designerly perspective of robotic eating aid get more holistic understanding meals as social and embodied experiences? In this article, we provide new bodily experiences assisted feeding. We apply “designerly framing” in the context Human Robot Interaction (HRI) contribute with insights for researchers backgrounds other than design into how can foreground aesthetic ...

There has been a lack of discussion concerning virtual reality as an expressive medium. It is essential to emphasise the aesthetic dimension of virtual reality in order to develop the medium as a powerful artistic mode of expression. This thesis examines how head-mounted display-based virtual reality can be used for artistic expression, focussing on the aesthetic pleasures of the medium. Pionee...

Large-scale data policies easily may have unplanned effects of ‘’homogeneity” on the available data supply. A narrowing of the scope of the data supply tailored to established research paradigms could limit the opportunities for unconventional, but also adventurous, new research directions with the risk of slowing down scientific progress. A systematic assessment of data portfolios not only on ...

In this paper, we propose the use of Alpha-Beta associative approach as an Unconventional Computing method in the pre-diagnosis of malignant tumors of breast cancer, obtaining an accurate result in a simple way; trying to avoid invasive diagnostic methods like biopsies, as far as possible. This proposal provides for the Alpha-Beta Support Vector Associative Machine created in 2008 and tested fo...

Membrane systems are parallel and bioinspired systems which simúlate membranes behavior when processing information. As a part of unconventional computing, P-systems are proven to be effective in solving complex problems. A software technique is presented here that obtain good results when dealing with such problems. The rules application phase is studied and updated accordingly to obtain the d...

Restoring volume in the middle and lower portions of the face is becoming an indispensable component of modern facial rejuvenation. Radiesse (BioForm Medical, San Mateo, Calif.) is an injectable filler material composed of synthetic calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres (30 percent) suspended in an aqueous carrier gel (70 percent). At present, Radiesse is indicated in the United States for corre...

The article is devoted to a special, emphasized experimental trend in modern Belarusian drama, controversial aesthetic terms, but extremely indicative as an intention of literary development, which will save literature with the experience world (post)avant-garde art. A new approach consciously unconventional texts that implemented it proposed, provides for taking into account concept artistic m...

This is the fourth in a series of 5 articles providing a contemporary overview and introduction to unconventional dentistry (UD) and its correlation to unconventional medicine (UM). Several common UD and UM practices are described to familiarize practitioners with a variety of theories, practices, products and treatments that specifically apply to dentistry. This brief review is not intended as...
