In today's history museums, the past is communicated through many other means than original artefacts. This interdisciplinary and theoretical article suggests a new approach to studying the use of audio-visual media, such as film, video and related media types, in a museum context. The centre of interest is how history and authenticity is mediated at history museums and how museum visitors perc...

Agent-based models (ABMs) provide a number of advantages relative to traditional continuum modeling approaches, permitting incorporation of great detail and realism into simulations, allowing in silico tracking of single-cell behaviors and correlation of these with emergent effects at the macroscopic level. In this study we present BSim 2.0, a radically new version of BSim, a computational ABM ...

Two previously independent approaches to investigating intuitive interaction in Australia and Germany are described and compared. Both definitions are based on the literature and so agree very closely, involving the non-conscious use of prior knowledge for intuitive interaction. Models have been devised by both groups: a continuum of intuitive interaction and a continuum of prior knowledge. Alt...

Elastic and proton–dissociative photoproduction of ρ, φ and J/ψ vector mesons (γp → V p, γp→ V N , respectively) have been measured in ep interactions at HERA up to −t = 3 GeV, where t is the four-momentum transfer squared at the photon–vector meson vertex. The analysis is based on a data sample in which photoproduction reactions were tagged by detection of the scattered positron in a special-p...

In a paper of 1929, Banach and Kuratowski proved—assuming the continuum hypothesis—a combinatorial theorem which implies that there is no nonvanishing σ-additive finite measure μ on R which is defined for every set of reals. It will be shown that the combinatorial theorem is equivalent to the existence of a K-Lusin set of size 20 and that the existence of such sets is independent of ZFC + ¬CH.

In this paper, a continuum model is proposed so that a Stone-Wales (SW) defected carbon nanotube (CNT) is replaced by an initial circumferential crack in a continuum cylindrical shell. For this purpose, the critical energy release rate and then the fracture toughness of a defected CNT are calculated using the results of an existing atomistic-based continuum finite element simulation. Finally, t...

extract   when you are faced with a diabetic person that has been numbness, lethargic or confuse condition and likely to enter into a diabetic coma what nursing interventions should be done?   the answer of question is related to complete review of symptoms by nurses. typically, in the most cases hypoglycemia can cause coma. the next cause of coma is diabetic ketoacidosis that occurs with hyper...

a new type of backbone robot is presented in this paper. the core idea is to use a cross shape mechanism with the principle of functioning of the scissors linkages, known as a pantograph. although this continuum arm acts quite similar to tendon-driven robot, this manipulator does not include any tendon in its structure. this design does not suffer from the weaknesses of the continuum design suc...
