Overview Spatial and shape data represented by 3D digital models have become a central component of our archaeological datasets. Immersive visual audio interaction with these offers an intuitive way to use data. The mixing the virtual real world suits work particularly well, technologies augmented reality (AR) mixed (MR) enable this type interaction. Much past on has involved public engagement,...

Abstract Relatively few Native Americans become engineers. The barriers to increasing those numbers are issues such as poverty, poor schools, and a lack of role models. In this article, American engineers talk about their experiences how work stretches across generations.

Conceptual worlds of properties provide a framework for knowledge representation, reasoning, and in particular for conceptual belief revision. However, it is desirable to consider such worlds where relations are not restricted to properties. Firstly, we discuss foundations of the conceptua...

However, knowledge transfer between these groups is challenging, requiring the bridging of their different thought worlds. The problem is even more pronounced for project teams involving external IT consultants with whom t...

The adoption of a visual interface can simplify the query formulation process in DBMSs by enabling naive users to interact with a friendly environment. In this work we propose a visual query language based on a diagrammatic paradigm, used for both data and query representation. The external data model is called vision and is made up of the visual primitives of concept and association. The exter...

This is the second of two papers that examine Charles Peirce’s denial that human beings have a faculty of intuition. In the first paper, I argued that in its metaphysical aspect, Peirce’s denial of intuition amounts to the doctrine that there is no determinate boundary between the internal world of the cognizing subject and the external world that the subject cognizes.
