This article presents two 3D historical enriched models projects; Nantes 1900 and Virtual Leodium. They are both based on mock-ups realised in the early 20th century. They share the same goal; creating participatory and evolutionary historical knowledge models, built on a 3D virtual copy of original mock-ups. Both projects are described and compared with specific highlight on methodological sim...

The digital representation and publishing of human history on the web has so far been stuck at unlocking collections historical items. Those are described by metadata mostly for curation findability that put in manner a library catalog. Usually, there is little ‘aboutness’. This unfortunate, as modern representations knowledge web-based interactive presentation techniques offer ample opportunit...

Evolutionary biologists often wish to explore the impact of a particular historical event (e.g., the origin of a novel morphological trait, an episode of biogeographic dispersal, or the onset of an ecological association) on rates of diversification (speciation minus extinction). We describe a Bayesian approach for evaluating the correlation between such events and differential rates of diversi...

In this study the authors characterize peritraumatic reactions of residents of New York City during and immediately following the September 11th terrorist attacks, identify predictors of those reactions, and identify predictors of PTSD 4 months later. A cross-sectional sample of New York residents (n = 2,001) responded to questions about sociodemographics, historical factors, event-related expo...

A Ms 7.7 earthquake struck the western, equatorial coast of Sumatra in December 1935. It was the largest event in the region since the two devastating giant earthquakes of 1833 and 1861. Historical seismograms of this event from several observatories around the world provide precious information that constrains the source parameters of the earthquake. To more precisely quantify the location, ge...

language and emotion are two related systems in use, in that one system (emotions) impacts the performance of the other (language). both of them share their functionality in communication. since the nature of foreign language classrooms is ideally interactional, emotional intelligence (ei) gains importance. the aim of this study was to find out whether one's total emotional quotient and its com...

The distinction of simple event nominals (SENs) and complex event nominals (CENs) will be ignored: as has been shown (see A. Alexiadou 2001, 2004), the former, as well as the latter, also have aspectual structure; Russian deverbal nominals derived from transitive verbs, from intransitive ones and underived situation-denoting nominals share a lot of properties, and behaviour under negation is on...

There is significant interest in using mobile sensors to protect geographical regions against hazards, in which the sensing resources are distributed according to the varying importance of the sub-regions, such as their numbers of residents exposed to the hazards. The quality of monitoring (QoM) resulting from such proportional-share allocation of the coverage time, in terms of the amount of in...
