Some extensions of computational aesthetic measures are proposed for a domain of evolutionary art in order to be embedded in a simulated breeding system, SBArt. In our experiences of the combination of breeding and evolution, it is effective to reduce the time for producing interesting abstract images and animations.

The field of neuroaesthetics has gained in popularity in recent years but also attracted criticism from the perspectives both of the humanities and the sciences. In an effort to consolidate research in the field, we characterize neuroaesthetics as the cognitive neuroscience of aesthetic experience, drawing on long traditions of research in empirical aesthetics, on the one hand, and cognitive ne...

for companies operating in the age of convergence of the quality of the products, differentiation is inevitable. packaging as a differentiation tool can be a remedy in this way. one of the differentiating ways in packaging is to design a kind of packaging that possesses some aesthetic aspects by which the product and even the brand of it can be recognize. previous researches showed that having ...

Despite growing scholarly interest in aesthetic dimensions of organizational life, there is a lack of literature expressly engaging with the methodological mechanics of ‘doing aesthetics research’. This article addresses that gap. It begins with an overview of the conceptual idiosyncrasies of ‘aesthetics’ as a facet of human existence and maps out the challenges these pose for empirical researc...

To meet future global oil and gas demands, unconventional gas resources will play an important role in the U.S and world energy supply. To develop unconventional gas resources, we must first identify their occurrences and quantify their potential. The analog methodology that provides supplementary analysis to characterize the less accessible reservoirs has been employed in the oil & gas industr...

The weight of the evidence indicates that unconventional monetary policy (UMP) shocks had persistent effects on yields. To make this point, paper illustrates most influential SVAR model UMP effects, which implies transient exhibits structural instability, sensitivity to specification and single observations render conclusions unreliable. Restricted models limit asset return predictability are m...
