In the field of city-governance urban labs are being constructed as experimental spaces knowledge production, innovation and governance. This perspective is mirrored in majority literature engaging with lab. However, empirical evidence shows that ‘urban labs’ also constituted through imaginative work practices remain unexplored theory practice. order to address this gap delineate how these matt...

This paper reports useful observations made during the design and test of a crowdsourcing task with a high “imaginative load”, a term we introduce to designate a task that requires workers to answer questions from a hypothetical point of view that is beyond their daily experiences. We find that workers are able to deliver high quality responses to such HITs, but that it is important that the HI...

Participants generated lists of exemplars from the categories of animals, tools, and fruit, and their lists were used to determine the relative accessibility of individual exemplars. Measures of accessibility included output dominance (the number of participants who listed an exemplar), rank (how early instances were listed), and two scores that reflect their combination-output precedence and d...

This paper describes the design and development of an interactive narrative for the ‘Experimenta Vanishing Point’ media arts exhibition in 2005. The Cocktail Party Effect tells the story of the imminent extinction of Great Apes in the wild using touch and sound in the absence of visual elements. The narrative is driven by haptic-audio exploration of a virtual cocktail glass which functions as a...

In this article, we propose an adaptive grid based on mesh equidistribution principle for two-parameter convection-diffusion boundary value problems with continuous and discontinuous data. A numerical algorithm based on an upwind finite difference operator and an appropriate adaptive grid is constructed. Truncation errors are derived for both continuous and discontinuous problems. Parameter uni...

BACKGROUND There is evidence that the addition of current medical student interviewers (CMSI) to faculty interviewers (FI) is valuable to the medical school admissions process. This study provides objective data about the contribution of CMSI to the admissions process. METHOD Thirty-six applicants to a 4-year medical school program were interviewed by both CMSI and FI, and the evaluations com...
