Spatial Behavior of Individuals and Groups: Preliminary Findings from a Museum Scenario
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to better understand human navigation, way-finding, and general spatial behavior, we are conducting research into the effects of social interactions among individuals within a shared space. This paper describes work in the integration of instrumentation of active public areas, macroscopic modeling, microscopic simulation, and experimentation with human subjects. The aim is to produce empirically grounded models of individual and collective spatial behavior. We describe the challenges and lessons learned from our experience with data collection, construction of tractable models, and pilot experiments.

Preliminary report on a late Tortonian/Messinian balaenopterid cetacean (Mammalia, Mysticeti) from Sistan and Baluchestan Province (Iran)
In this study we present the first description of a mysticete skeleton from the late Tortonian to Messinian greyish-green marl of the Coastal Makran, south of Negour in Chahbahar County, Sistan and Baluchestan Province. This specimen is neither completely excavated, nor completely prepared, and therefore all our findings are preliminary. The identifiable components of this fossil thus far consi...

Introduction: Primary stress can impair the nervous structure including the hippocampus and behavioral functions such as memory; therefore, paying attention to neutralizing the destructive effects of stress on the body has been one of the debatable topics among researchers. Considering the role of physical activity in reducing stress in previous studies, this study aimed to investigate the effe...
متن کاملUsing multivariate generalized linear latent variable models to measure the difference in event count for stranded marine animals
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The classification of marine animals as protected species makes data and information on them to be very important. Therefore, this led to the need to retrieve and understand the data on the event counts for stranded marine animals based on location emergence, number of individuals, behavior, and threats to their presence. Whales are g...
متن کاملInfluence of initial spatial layout on seismic behavior of masonry buildings with curved roof systems
Early design decisions made on building configuration and spatial design affect seismic behavior of buildings. Therefore introducing design guidelines and empirical methods implemented to assess seismic behavior of buildings have been proposed as an appropriate approach. Such concept helps architects to take into the consideration that how their preliminary design decisions influence downstream...
