Marching to Different Drum Beats: A Temporal Perspective on Coordinating Occupational Work

Marching to a different drum

Since December 1993, elections have been ‘the only game in town’ for the legitimate transfer of political power in Russia. That has led politicians – and the Kremlin itself – to targeting specifically the military servicemen as an electorate. The large number of people associated with the military in one way or another in Russia makes it reasonable for politicians to consider the military a par...

Sounds from a different drum.

Greifbare Beats: Exploratives Design mit dem Haptic Drum Toolkit

Im Gestaltungsprozess neuer digitaler Musikinstrumente stellt die Untersuchung von Beziehungen zwischen der Manipulation spezifischer SoundParameter und der haptischen Wahrnehmung eine große Herausforderung dar. In diesem Paper stellen wir ein Toolkit für den Design-Prozess von digitalen Rhythmus-Instrumenten vor, das darauf abzielt, eine vielfältige Entwicklung von Musikinterfaces durch haptis...

Marching along to an Offbeat Drum: Entrainment of Synthetic Gene Oscillators by a Noisy Stimulus.

Modulation of biological oscillations by stimuli lies at the root of many phenomena, including maintenance of circadian rhythms, propagation of neural signals, and somitogenesis. While it is well established that regular periodic modulation can entrain an oscillator, an aperiodic (noisy) modulation can also robustly entrain oscillations. This latter scenario may describe, for instance, the effe...

Progressing to the Center: Coordinating Project Work

Project forms of organizing are theorized to rely upon horizontal as opposed to vertical lines of authority, but few have examined how this shift affects progression—how people advance in an organization. We argue that progression without hierarchy unfolds when people assume lateral authority over project tasks without managing people. With a longitudinal study of a mature, collectively managed...
