ABSTRACT Frequency metrology outperforms any other branch of in accuracy (parts 10?16) and small fluctuations (<10?17). In turn, among celestial bodies, the rotation speed millisecond pulsars is by far most stable (<10?18). Therefore, precise measurement time arrival (TOA) pulsar signals expected to disclose information about cosmological phenomena, enlarge our astrophysical knowl...

We are exploring a new application of virtual and augmented reality for a novel direction in human-computer interaction named ‘cultural computing’, which aims to provide a new medium for cultural translation and subconscious metamorphosis. In this application both virtual and robotic agents are employed as an interactive dialogue figure. The main objective of this project is to create an intera...

An extensive philosophical literature of autonomy has focused mostly on analyses cognition that achieve individual self-governance. But the loosely defined concept used by disability policymakers advocates provides more malleable, so...

This article discusses the opportunities and challenges of applying modern information retrieval techniques to the cultural heritage domain. Although the fi eld of information retrieval is closely associated with computer science, it originally emerged from library science — also one of the main disciplines concerned with access to cultural heritage material. Hence we are, in a sense, exploring...
