We present first experiences from Local Area Artworks, a system enabling collaborative art interpretation on-site, deployed during an exhibition in a local art gallery. Through the system, we explore ways to re-connect people to local places by making use of their personal mobile devices as interfaces to the shared physical space. With a collocated collaborative writing system in the semi-publi...

A new photo-reactive polymer, polyvinylalcohol modified with phenylazido groups, was synthesized as a microarray matrix. The polymer is soluble in water and spin-coated onto glass plate. Aqueous solutions of proteins were micro-spotted onto the coated glass and were fixed by ultraviolet light irradiation. Subsequently, cell adhesion on the photo-immobilized protein microarray was investigated. ...

The essay focuses on an unsighted archive of migration that preserves numerous discarded objects from undocumented into Europe. This “trash” was recovered and stored by the artists Massimo Ricciardo Thomas Kilpper, for whom signify one most urgent societal challenges our time. In installation “Objects Migration—Photo Objects Art History,” introduced some these physical space Photothek Kunsthist...

In this paper, we propose a system to detect event photos using geotagged tweets and non-geotagged photo tweets. In our previous work, only “geotagged photo tweets” was used for event photo detection the ratio of which to the total tweets was very limited. In the proposed system, we use geotagged tweets without photos for event detection, and non-geotagged photo tweets for event photo detection...

Let bd(P ) denote the boundary of a simple polygon P . Points p and q of P are mutually visible if segment pq lies entirely inside P . This notion of visibility gave birth to an extensive literature on art-gallery problems [3], concerned with guarding the floor of a polygonal art-gallery. Chvatal [2] showed that bn/3c point guards are always sufficient and sometimes necessary. Allowing guards t...

This paper investigates a theoretical model for the interaction between electrons and holes (E/H) in elastic non-local semiconductors. When medium is activated by photo-energy because of high temperatures, an optical-elastic-thermal-diffusion (OETD) process occurs described this mathematical-physical model. A study conducted on impact Hall current brought collapse strong magnetic field exterior...

Given the growth of Internet photo collections we now have a visual index of all major cities and tourist sites in the world. However, it is still a difficult task to capture that perfect shot with your own camera when visiting these places, especially when your camera itself has limitations, such as a limited field of view. In this paper, we propose a framework to overcome the imperfections of...
