Ginsburgh and Zang [1] consider a revenue sharing problem for the museum pass program, in which several museums jointly offer museum passes that allow visitors an unlimited access to participating museums in a certain period of time. We consider a cost sharing problem that can be regarded as the dual problem of the above revenue sharing problem. We assume that all museums are public goods and h...

A museum may be defined as an institute that displays a collection of artifacts of scientific or artistic significance to a specific group of visitors [1]. Anatomy museums play a dominant role in educating the community regarding the intricacy and structural organization of the human body [2]. The concept of anatomy museum was first conceived by the Edinburg Surgeons during 1700-1763 A.D. A cab...

Description The IMO may use ‘out-of-market’ sources of reserve in response to an operating reserve shortfall in the real-time constrained sequence.1 Operating reserve shortfalls occur when either the total amount of available MW offered in the market for a class of operating reserve is less than the IMO’s requirement for that class of reserve, or when the total amount of available MW offered fo...

In problems of choosing ‘aspirations’ for TU-games, we study two axioms, ‘MW-consistency’ and ‘converse MW-consistency.’ In particular, we study which subsolutions of the aspiration correspondence satisfy MW-consistency and/or converse MW-consistency. We also provide axiomatic characterizations of the aspiration kernel and the aspiration nucleolus.  2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

The application of artificial intelligence (AI) tools to cultural heritage is acquiring an increasing importance, promoting new technological solutions for museums and art exhibitions. We present a system, called Minerva, able to automatically organize virtual museums, given the set of works of art and the environments in which they must be displayed, and to support the user in the visit and fr...

The article examines the processes by which scientific knowledge is socialized, based on the concepts of museographical/didactical transposition and recontextualization within the realm of science museums. Ways of producing knowledge in museums are analyzed, alongside a discussion of the potential challenges and possibilities involved when applying these concepts to research on dissemination an...

Because the eighteen online university digital museums of China confront a problem that the multi-discipline resources at digital museums are isolated and dispersed without sufficient interconnection, ChinaGrid (China Education & Research Grid) supports a project named UDMGrid (University Digital Museum Grid), which studies a grid application for University Digital Museums using grid technology...

Of the more than sixty papers presented at the Third International Conference on Hypermedia and Interactivity in Museums, those selected for this volume raised particularly profound issues about the implications of multimedia and computing technologies for the representation of knowledge of cultural heritage. Nothing about the proposition that museums should extend their potential audience by d...

Museums need an interactive data collection and visualisation tool for their artefacts. This paper describes a study in which we enable access to Chinese and Japanese cultural heritage information from two history museums, the National Palace Museum in Taiwan and the Tokugawa Art Museum in Japan. Results from these museum databases were used to develop a prototype system to demonstrate advanced...
