The Secret Garden is an interactive narrative potential space, which aims to be a hidden rest area in urban space and a site to interrogate and reflect on the human experience. A digital image of the tree with its ‘will’ to grow stands in the space. A spectator’s secret will feed the tree. JeeHee’s The Secret Garden installation suggests a cross-art form. Sound, light and visualisation will des...

This work is an investigation into part of the human sentence parsing mechanism (HSPM). The major test of the psychological val idi ty of any model of the HSPM is that it fail on precisely those sentences that humans find to be garden paths. It is hypothesized that the HSPM consists of at least two processes. We call the first process the syntactic processor, and the second wil l be known as th...

2 The Psychology of Social Dilemmas "I wonder men dare trust themselves with men"-William Shakespeare Every citizen enjoys the benefits of public services, such as hospitals, libraries and the police, but most will be reluctant to pay extra taxes to maintain them. Car drivers generally support the government's plans to promote public transportation. Yet, how many drivers are prepared to volunta...

Als Beispiel einer interaktiven Mixed Reality Umgebung beschreiben wir den „Sensoric Garden“, sieben während eines Festivals gezeigte Installationen. Da solche Ereignisse sich nicht in Bezug auf Benutzbarkeit oder Effektivität bewerten lassen, benötigen wir andere Kriterien, um die Attraktivität der Installationen für Besucher zu erklären. Konzepte aus der Debatte um Interaktionsdesign und Inte...

This paper presents modifications to a standard probabilistic context-free grammar that enable a predictive parser to avoid garden pathing without resorting to any ad-hoc heuristic repair. The resulting parser is shown to apply efficiently to both newspaper text and telephone conversations with complete coverage and excellent accuracy. The distribution over trees is peaked enough to allow the p...

The purpose of this study is to review representative cases of green space development in order to compare the Garden City concept and Green Belt concept as applied and to examine its direction in major Asian and Oceanic cities. The results of previous studies and this study show that there are two major directions in such green-oriented city planning. One direction is toward Multi-Regional Dev...

Neotropical ants in the tribe Attini share the obligatory behaviour of cultivating fungi as an essential food source. Of this complex and well-studied mutualism, little is known about the biological traits of the phylogenetically basal attines, which may offer important clues to the origins and early evolution of this intricate symbiosis. In this paper we focus on the founding of new nests, a k...

Brun., 2012, LX, No. 8, pp. 299–306 The current scientifi c methods describing gardens and landscapes all over the world are not always suffi cient for the purpose of deep understanding of specifi c and close relations between landscape/ garden and its inhabitants/visitors.

We show new results about the garden-hose model. Our main results include improved lower bounds based on non-deterministic communication complexity (leading to the previously unknown Θ(n) bounds for Inner Product mod 2 and Disjointness), as well as an O(n · log n) upper bound for the Distributed Majority function (previously conjectured to have quadratic complexity). We show an efficient simula...
