This paper examines the city of Steelport in Saints Row: The Third (Volition, 2011) as a real-and-imagined space that can be described using an urban framework of constitutional, representational, and experiential components. It relates mediated and physical cities through spatial arrangement, processes of representation, and the factors that contribute to a sense of place in both material and ...

Given a sequence of n elements, the All Nearest Smaller Values (ANSV) problem is to nd, for each element in the sequence, the nearest element to the left (right) that is smaller, or to report that no such element exists. Time and work optimal algorithms for this problem are known on all the PRAM models 3], 5], but the running time of the best previous hypercube algorithm 6] is optimal only when...

BACKGROUND The RD(50) (exposure concentration producing a 50% respiratory rate decrease) test evaluates airborne chemicals for sensory irritation and has become an American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard method. Past studies reported good correlations (R(2)) between RD(50)s and the occupational exposure limits, particularly threshold limit values (TLVs). OBJECTIVE The main ...

The paper examined the value system in Philippine firms against the backdrop of Eastern-Western cultural dynamics in East Asia. The Asian milieu presents co-existence of cultural stasis and unease -balance and tension between Eastern values and Western ideas. Successful Asian countries demonstrated their ability to blend conflicting cultures and highlight certain values in order to promote nati...

There are a number of puzzles in Descartes’s metaphysics about the relations between minds and bodies. Among the most famous: How can an immaterial mind move a material body? How can a material body change an immaterial body, by producing sensations? De Rosa sets these puzzles aside to focus on an equally important puzzle: How can immaterial sensations represent material bodies? There are four ...

Bonacich (1987) suggested a family of centrality measures that provide a useful way of modeling questions of power and network constraint. However, the literature offers little guidance regarding the choice of  the parameter which alters the way the measure accounts for the effect of having powerful contacts in ones network. In this paper I explore the way the choice of the  parameter affect...

Social and cultural geographers have long-recognized the power of death to produce spaces, affects values. This special issue explores intersections between social geographies death, more-than-human political ecology. In this introduction, we situate non-human as an everyday phenomenon that is part cultural, material, discursive, organic economic metabolic networks transform space value. We the...
