360◦ panoramas are a rich medium, yet notoriously difficult to visualize in the 2D image plane. We explore how intelligent rotations of a spherical image may enable content-aware projection with fewer perceptible distortions. Whereas existing approaches assume the viewpoint is fixed, intuitively some viewing angles within the sphere preserve high-level objects better than others. To discover th...

further and linked the process to performance appraisal and succession planning, This article describes our research findings on the 360 feedback process. We have discovered six critical factors, or best practices, to help leaders in organizations get the most from their investment in the process. Additionally, we have found that organizations that derive the most benefit from the 360 feedback ...

Since IBM's introduction of the System/360 and its operating system OS/360, probably no other aspect of that vast collection of programs and publications-the IBM OS Bibliography alone runs to 100 pages-has caused more heated discussions or been as poorly understood by its users as the job control language JCL. It is the one feature of the operating system that all users must employ: it is the g...

In recent years there has been a significant interest in Virtual Reality applications, including 360° videos. 360° video streaming via the network typically consumes a lot of bandwidth due to the file size of these kind of videos being up to 6 times larger than traditional videos. Due to the nature of 360° videos, a user only utilizes about 20 % of the transmitted data; that is, the part of the...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the perceived usefulness to participants of a particular 360-degree leadership survey process to assist an understanding of how ratees receive and respond to 360-degree feedback. Design/methodology/approach – The paper includes a sample of eight new and emergent leaders at one university in Australia who complete a 360-degree feedback survey. Th...

Ewes fed 360 ARG had greater serum arginine concentration than CON, 90 ARG, and 180 ARG on d 11 (175.5 vs. 153.2, 132.3, and 145.4 ± 8.6 nmol/mL, respectively; P = 0.01) and d 12 (166.4 vs. 142.7, 121.7, and 128.2 ± 7.4 nmol/mL, respecti...
