The purpose of this brief paper is to revisit the question of longevity in present experimental practice and coin the term autonomous new media artefacts (AutoNMA), which are complete and independent of external computer systems, so they can be operable for a longer period of time and can be demonstrated at a moment’s notice. We argue that platforms for prototyping should promote the creation o...

Line scratches are a common form of degradation in archived motion picture lm. The automatic restoration of such material has become of increasing interest in the last few years with the rise of consumer digital video applications and the need to supply more programming material of an acceptable quality in a multi-media context. This paper introduces mechanisms for removing line artefacts from ...

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is the modern third dimension applied in the field of oral maxillofacial region. With lower radiation dose compared to conventional CT, its applications in dentistry has increased tremendously. Artefacts can seriously degrade the quality of computed tomographic (CBCT) images, sometimes to the point of making them diagnostically unusable. To optimize image qu...

Artefacts which occur during the processing of small biopsy specimens can cause sufficient tissue distortion to impair interpretation and can be a considerable source of nuisance. Triangular artefacts were noted in renal and liver biopsy specimens which were caused by foam sponges in embedding cassettes. Scanning electron microscopic examination of the sponges showed they comprised a mesh of sc...

This study addresses the mechanisms by which collaboration environments affect design teams’ collaboration via shared artefacts. We collected data by observing design teams consisting of experts and decision makers. The teams utilized (1) a state-of-the-art web conferencing collaboration environment and (2) a three-dimensional virtual world in their collaboration. Our analysis reveals the virtu...

Nowadays, our living environments already provide ubiquitous network connectivity and are populated by an increasing number of artefacts (objects enhanced with sensing, computation, and networking abilities). In addition, people are increasingly using mobile devices as intermediaries between themselves and the artefacts. In order to create, manage, communicate with, and reason about ubiquitous ...

This paper introduces digital scholarship: aprocess inwhich individuals perform all scholarly work electronically, working entirely with digital media. A proposal is made for patron-augmenteddigital libraries (PADLs): a class of digital libraries designed to support the digital scholarship of its patrons. PADLs not only provide facilities for search and retrieval of library artefacts, but also ...
