In this paper we are concerned with the implications of information and communications technologies (ICTs), and the so-called “new economy” with which they are associated, for regional development. As such, we are concerned particularly with examining the ways in which ICTs may “change the balance” between centralising and decentralising dynamics in the space-economy. A number of starkly differ...

The Algorithm Testing and Evaluation Program for Coordinate Measurement Systems (ATEP-CMS) is a Special Test Service offered under the NIST Calibration Program. ATEP-CMS evaluates the performance of geometric fitting software used in coordinate measurement systems. It is a Special Test because it is a new type of NIST service, experimental in nature and unsupported by historical data. This repo...

In this paper we describe recent developments in the Medialogy education at Aalborg University Copenhagen focusing on the role of sound in interactive new media. Furthermore, we describe new educations which have been developed in Medialogy in the last year in which sound plays an important role.

A new type of diffractive optical element for detecting and measuring the power distribution of transverse modes emanating from radially symmetric laser resonators is presented. It is based on a relatively simple straightforward design of a phase-only diffractive optical element that serves as a matched filter, which correlates between specific prerecorded transverse modes with a certain azimut...

We discuss results where the discrete spectrum (or partial information on the discrete spectrum) and partial information on the potential q of a one-dimensional Schrr odinger operator H = ? d 2 dx 2 + q determine the potential completely. Included are theorems for nite intervals and for the whole line. In particular, we pose and solve a new type of inverse spectral problem involving fractions o...

This paper discusses the challenges of preserving art in the digital context. It provides an overview of the broader digital preservation challenge, and then considers new media art within that context. Through several case studies, it illustrates and discusses problems, issues and proposed solutions to digital art preservation. We will see that while work has been done towards digital preserva...

The effect of economic change on the Latino to non-Latino White earnings gap has been well documented; however much of this research has focused on Latinos as a general category with little focus on subgroup variations. Despite varied histories and demographic characteristics Mexicans, Puerto Ricans and Cubans, the largest Hispanic subgroups, have usually been combined in analyses of earnings g...
