In this paper we consider how to evaluate whether a design or other artifact is creative. Creativity and its evaluation have been studied as a social process, a creative arts practice, and as a design process with guidelines for people to judge creativity. However, there are few approaches that seek to evaluate creativity computationally. In prior work we presented novelty, value, and surprise ...

ion The Meaning of Abstraction Abstraction is one of the fundamental ways that we as humans cope with complexity. Hoare suggests that "abstraction arises from a recognition of similarities between certain objects, situations, or processes in the real world, and the decision to concentrate upon these similarities and to ignore for the time being the differences" [42]. Shaw defines an abstraction...

I listen to the Book of Mormon almost every day and often find what consider be interesting correlations with other goings-on in life. Most recently, am struck by similarities between Nephites’ attitudes regarding defending themselves against Lamanites, Moroni's preparations for war, Moses brazen serpent, development COVID-19 vaccines President Nelson's emphatic encouragement vaccinated.In Alma...

Photographs help people illustrate the stories of their lives and the significant stories of their society. However, photographs can do more than illustrate events; in this article, we show that photographs can distort memory for them. We describe the course of our ‘‘falsememory implantation’’ research, and review recent work showing that photographs can sometimes increase—while other times dec...

Résumé / Streszczenie Abstract This work is devoted to the studies of spin dynamics of magnetic Mn ions embedded in low-dimensional CdTe-based nanostructures. The particular emphasis is focused on the system of single CdTe quantum dots with single Mn ions, which give an insight into unperturbed interactions of magnetic ion with its semiconductor environment. A method of all-optical manipulation...

The present study examined excessive Internet use of Taiwan adolescents and a psychological aspect of users, sensation seeking, thus to differentiate motivation of Internet dependent and non-dependent adolescents. Seven hundred and fifty three Taiwan high school students were selected using cluster sampling and 88 of them were categorized. Results demonstrated that the Internet dependents spent...

Viewing stereoscopic 3D content is typically enabled either by using polarizing or active shutter glasses. In certain cases, some viewers may not wear viewing glasses and hence, it would be desirable to tune the stereoscopic 3D content so that it could be simultaneously watched with and without viewing glasses. In this paper we propose a video post-processing technique which enables good qualit...
