Information has always had geography. It is from somewhere; about somewhere; it evolves and is transformed somewhere; it is mediated by networks, infrastructures, and technologies: all of which exist in physical, material places. These geographies of information about places matter because they shape how we are able to find and understand different parts of the world. Places invisible or discou...

Singer, 1994). The basis for this argument is that it is necessary to " tag " each visual neuron to signify the object to which its activity relates. Each neuron therefore has to carry two distinct signals, one that indicates how effective a stimulus is falling on its receptive field, and a second that tags it as a member of a particular cell assembly. To make these signals distinct, von der Ma...

What are the necessary and sufficient conditions to experience pleasure in interpersonal communication and dealing with art, science, and philosophy - this is what the theory of informational needs (TIN) suggested eleven years ago is about. At the same time, at the beginning of this century, several lines of research have emerged. Neuroaesthetics has been established; the discovery of the mirro...

INTRODUCTION Clinical trials of new vaginal products require careful communication with participants about trial requirements. Most microbicide trials have been multi-site studies conducted among women in sub-Saharan Africa, where literacy levels and understanding of scientific methods differ from those designing and conducting the trials. Microbicide trials require women to insert objects in t...

The research focus on the relationship among community social capital, perceived value and loyalty with taking alumni as an object. partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) is to adopted analyze data by using SmartPLS 3.2.9. results show that capital has contribution informational value, significantly affect loyalty, while insignificant impact loyalty.

A possible extension of the theory of categories to the structural-phenomenological domains of science is presented. Notions like phenomenological categories with phenomenological objects and morphisms and structural-phenomenological categories with objects formed both of structural and phenomenological parts are introduced. Concerning the functors, the most important are those between structur...

There is an increasing amount of content relating to the history of medicine appearing online and many of our journals are adding 'media' or 'digital humanities' review sections. Yet, unlike book reviews, it remains unclear how scholars should go about writing a peer-review of a website. This review of Brought to Life: Exploring the History of Medicine makes an attempt to outline the criteria b...

Detection of object motion by moving observers and perception of velocity by stationary or moving observers ordinarily require information about object distance. It might be expected that object motion could be obtained without distance by use of a combination of optic flow and binocular disparity information. We describe how object motion could, in principle, be derived this way. The analysis ...

We describe the distributed, object–oriented architecture of TREVI, a system designed to help overcome the information overload problem. TREVI provides a comprehensive framework for the processing and dissemination of documents coming from news streams and other external sources. TREVI is designed to perform a variety of linguistic and text processing tasks, according to the informational needs...

O3CASE is an approach for software development which emphasizes the use of operational models throughout the life cycle. Software development consists, therefore, in building, testing and refining models within a seamless process that leads the analyst/developer from analysis to design and finally to the implementation of the system. This approach is characterized by two key factors: the modeli...
