Improvisational theatre is a unique art form that requires actors to co-construct stories on stage in realtime without the benefits of any explicit communication. All negotiation about the content of the scene, including characters, setting, plot, and relationships, must be done within the context of the performance. This negotiation process is a special form of constructing shared mental model...

The Cover Feature represents a 3-D plot of the loading status battery particle material as function two galvanostatic dimensionless parameters l and Ξ that depend on physical properties (particle size d, diffusion coefficient D, intercalation rate constant k0) Cr. More information can be found in Research Article by Ezequiel P. M. Leiva co-workers.

When it is impractical to perform the experimental runs of a fractional factorial design in a completely random order, restrictions on the randomization can be imposed. The resulting design is said to have a split-plot, or nested, error structure. Similarly to fractional factorials, fractional factorial split-plot designs can be ranked by using the aberration criterion.Techniques that generate ...

The generation of extended plots for melodramatic fiction is an interesting task for Artificial Intelligence research, one that requires the application of generalization techniques to carry out fully. UNIVERSE is a story-telling program that uses plan-like units, "plot fragments", to generate plot outlines. By using a rich library of plot fragments and a well-developed set of characters, UNIVE...
