We analyze how VJs produce visuals to support DJs in dark and noisy club environments, enhancing the overall experience. We suggest that mobile technologies could improve the interaction between the audience and the VJ. As a first step to the generation of new applications, we tease out some characteristics of VJ production and live performance, which might influence the design of such technolo...

In this paper, crystallographic aspects of ancient, medieval and modern Turkish ornaments are dealt with. Crystallographic patterns (CPs) are considerably different from other patterns. The following are characteristic of CPs: the edge of ornament elements draws the edge of the figure; maximal compactness of the ornament elements; lack of background or transformation of background to ornament e...

mulla sadra has presented four theories on existential propositions which at first glance seem to be completely different from each other. the present article claims that, if we consider these four views from the perspective of the principality of existence and from the perspective of the principality of quiddity we will find that: firstly, these four views are reducible to two, and secondly, t...

this article consists of two sections: 1. the theoretical section, which includes an introduction about aesthetic illustration and chronological order of the earlier critics who have presented beautiful illustrations of the holy qur’ān as well as the beautiful qur’ānic illustrations in modern researches. 2. the comparative section, which includes a brief glance at previous researches on the aes...

since the time of western modernity, knowledge is compartmentalized into differentiated fields. this has however not mitigated the influence of natural science model of theorizing on social sciences. as a result, the discipline of organization theory has grown without the influence of abstract, ephemeral and metaphysical fields such as religion, history, mystic philosophy, arts and literature. ...

We study certain principal actions on noncommutative C-algebras. Our main examples are the Zpand T-actions on the odd-dimensional quantum spheres, yielding as fixed-point algebras quantum lens spaces and quantum complex projective spaces, respectively. The key tool in our analysis is the relation of the ambient C-algebras with the Cuntz-Krieger algebras of directed graphs. A general result abou...
