چکیده
The revolutionary innovations in themed entertainment attractions, starting with the Bakken, north of Copenhagen, in 1583 and given modern form by Disney at Anaheim, California in 1955 have spread outwards through successive imitation and adaptation by the amusement park industry. Developments have been slower in the Nordic region due to small populations and seasonality, tending to focus on the refurbishment of traditional parks. This paper reviews some of the historical aspects of theme parks and then, with the aid of case examples, goes on to model key design, economic and financial aspects in developing such attractions in a Nordic context. Concepts of creativity and issues of failure are examined, in order to define the boundaries of what may be currently considered good practice to minimise the downside risks that can result in financial, if not project, collapse. Finally, prospects for the future are discussed.

The aim of the project was to test whether commercially available off-the-shelf components (COTS) could be assembled for a fullyfunctional wearable configuration that would meet the harsh demands of artic field-use. This paper reflects on this process. It points to the notion of m...
متن کاملSubnetwork hierarchies of biochemical pathways
MOTIVATION The vastness and complexity of the biochemical networks that have been mapped out by modern genomics calls for decomposition into subnetworks. Such networks can have inherent non-local features that require the global structure to be taken into account in the decomposition procedure. Furthermore, basic questions such as to what extent the network (graph theoretically) can be said to ...
