The entry of on-demand ridesourcing digital labour platforms (OR-DLPs) in Kolkata, India, restructured the local taxi-cab service industry's economic geography and spatial practices. Notably, they eroded the significance of the spatial fixity of taxi ...

Animation, in the classical sense, is all about timing and spacing. While many tools exist to aid in spatial manipulation, the Time Filter unlocks manipulation of time and offers new dimensions of control to the animation workflow.

This study is identifies semantic features of space-related topics and continues a major study of the coverage of space-related issues in Russian media resources. In this context, space-related topics are understood as a set of words associated ...

Emerging technologies are rapidly changing and transforming spaces within academic libraries, giving rise to the implementation of distinctive services. The study sought to identify technology and space changes and the distinctive services introduced in ...

The current article explores the affects of space-time discrete stochastic competitive neural networks. In line with a discrete-space and discrete-time constant variation formula, boundedness and stability are addressed to the space-time discrete ...

In order to deal with the huge threat posed by anti-radiation missiles, it is an effective measure to use active decoys to antagonize anti-radiation missiles. Focusing on the three-point source decoy system, this paper first analyzes the basic principle ...

Previous research on the genesis of industrial clusters has focused on macrolevel (e.g., agglomeration economies and institutions) or mesolevel explanatory factors (e.g., serial entrepreneurship, spin-offs). Less studied are the microfoundations of ...

A continuation of an investigation of issues of space in domestic media discourse is presented using the leading federal socio-political newspapers Komsomolskaya Pravda, Rossiyskaya Gazeta, and Kommersant as examples, as well as the online ...

The author’s original concept of the illusion of time is presented and discussed. In this concept, time is considered as a product of social activity, i.e., a product used as an instrument for understanding the physical world in its informational ...

We present a design fiction, which is set in the near future as significant Mars habitation begins. Our goal in creating this fiction is to address current work-life issues on Earth and Mars in the future. With shelter-in-place measures, established ...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a major technological development likely to have a profound effect on all aspects of society. Among other things, it promises smooth and personalized interactions between people and the spaces they inhabit and visit. ...

The 3D graphic score space created for this study is a non-immersive virtual reality space for creating musical scores utilizing graphic notation. This project involved two main aspects; developing the graphic score space followed by a two-part user ...

We study subspace codes with nonmaximum code distance. As opposed to spreads, i.e., codes with the maximum subspace distance, we refer to them as nonspreads here. We consider families of nonspreads based on using the Silva–Kötter–Kschischang (SKK) ...

The amount of autonomy in software engineering tools is increasing as developers build increasingly complex systems. We study factors influencing software engineers’ trust in an autonomous tool situated in a high stakes workplace, because research in ...

By informing mass audience about scientific, engineering, and technological achievements, modern media contribute to the growth of the prestige of scientific and innovative activities and increase society’s susceptibility to scientific and ...

This paper introduces a doctoral project on personal wearable light spaces. The topic combines textile material design with somaesthetic interaction design, investigating possible socio-cultural implications when humans become light sources. The project ...

Virtual reality (VR), as the experience simulated by electronic system which is similar to or completely different from the real world, will hopefully achieve fully practical use in the near future. Virtual reality has the characteristics of multi-...

Emerging 3D printing technology has enabled the rapid development of physical objects. However, 3D-printed objects are rarely interactive and adding interactivity to printed objects is inherently challenging. To boost 3D printing for a wider spectrum of ...

Many mobile games are designed to be placeless, so that mobile device owners could play anytime, anywhere. But does such design erase the sense of place in mobile gaming? To investigate the spatiality of mobile gaming, we conducted an ethnographic study ...

This paper explores the everyday practices, forms, and means by which employees mobilize national identity as a tool of resistance in opposing managerial demands of their dual, global/Western and local/Japanese, organizational identity. Drawing on an ...
