Abstract This article aims to find out what extent the skyscrapers erected in late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, Shanghai, follow modern program promoted by State city how they play an essential role construction of temporary discourse that this modernization entails. In sense, it describes seeks concrete way designs a temporal discourse. The work finds type narrative expresses co...

Abstract Using ethnographic data gathered in Beijing during 2017 and 2018, this article examines numerous urban population displacement events using the concept of spatial governance order to understand spatialization China. A particular focus are Beijing-wide displacements so-called “low-end population” that followed a fire Xinjian Village 2017. The analysis uses geographic understandings info...

Maintaining a sense of personal connection between increasingly synthetic performers and increasingly diffuse audiences is vital to storytelling and entertainment. Sonic intimacy is important, because voice is one of the highestbandwidth channels for expressing our real and imagined selves. New tools for highly focused spatialization could help improve acoustical clarity, encourage audience eng...

We study functorial properties of the quantale spectrum MaxA of an arbitrary unital C*-algebra A. In particular we show that the spatialization of MaxA with respect to one of the notions of spatiality in the literature yields the locale of closed ideals of A when A is commutative. We study under general conditions functors with this property, in addition requiring that inductive limits be prese...

A calibration method allowing users to customize the loudspeaker layout for 2-, 4-, and 5.1-channel playback, and to steer the “sweet spot” to the position o f the listener’s head is presented. The method, which is applied to a computationally efficient transaural 3D audio system for dynamic spatialization o f multiple sound sources, is based on u ser interaction and auditory feedback. The robu...

My thesis is that modern neurological discoveries overthrow the classical dualism which assigns all the constitutive activity of perception to the mind and leaves the body a purely passive role. The paper is in four parts: first I will present the traditional theory, using Berkeley's concept of activity as the key; then I will summarize the relevant aspects of contemporary neurology; third, the...

Maritime safety and security require a constant surveillance of the traffic at sea, and several human actors are in charge of this control. Potential risks alerts, suspicious vessels and description of the situation are managed by visual surveillance systems. But these systems do not provide real analysis tools for maritime traffic data. Geovisualization and visual analytics have shown to be ve...
