(Re-)Positioning the Senses: Perceptions of Space in 3D gameworlds
Introduction In his chapter titled ‘Allegories of Space’ Espen Aarseth states that, “[c]omputer games are essentially concerned with spatial representation and negotiation” (Aarseth 2001, 154). By playing a videogame, the player has to move their character or objects through space. This happens in two-dimensional platform games, first-person shooters, and even puzzle games such as Tetris or Bej...
متن کاملDeceptions in Quasicrystal Growth
We discuss a new general phenomenon pertaining to tiling models of quasicrystal growth. It is known that with Penrose tiles no (de-terministic) local matching rules exist which guarantee defect-free tiling for regions of arbitrary large size. We prove that this property holds quite generally: namely, that the emergence of defects in quasicrystal growth is unavoidable for all aperiodic tiling mo...

However, I take issue with certain arguments offered by Jennifer Jackson in support of the same conclusion. In particular, I challenge her claim that to deny that there is such a moral difference makes sense only within a utilitarian fram...

Expecting a book about porphyria, rabies, and other possible sources of vam-pire myths, I was quite surprised to instead start reading about inbreeding.

A survey of over a thousand 8–11 year-old children in primary schools indicated that children in the more senior classes showed a marked decline in their enjoyment of school science. Older children found certain science topics – such as parts of the flower and evaporation – difficult, chiefly because of the complex terminology involved. There were clear differences between boys and girls: girls...
