In this paper, we study the question of finding a set of k vertex-disjoint cycles (resp. directed cycles) of distinct lengths in a given graph (resp. digraph). In the context of undirected graphs, we prove that, for every k > 1, every graph with minimum degree at least k 2+5k−2 2 has k vertex-disjoint cycles of different lengths, where the degree bound is best possible. We also consider other c...

The museum offers a starting point from which to examine the fundamental nature of collaborative work and interdisciplinary scholarship. This article examines the socio-technological impact of introducing advanced information technology into the Spurlock Museum, a museum of world history and culture at the University of Illinois. It addresses the implementation of such methodologies as computer...

Art museum attendance is rising steadily, unchallenged by online alternatives. However, the psychological value of the real museum experience remains unclear because the experience of art in the museum and other contexts has not been compared. Here we examined the appreciation and memory of an art exhibition when viewed in a museum or as a computer simulated version in the laboratory. In line w...

This paper deals with some characteristics of museum objects within the museological context and it tries to explain reasons why museum information systems are hardly ever covering all aspects of museum work and why it is not always easy to document even the complete physical description of objects in the museum information systems. Semological concepts were used to analyse the museum object an...

Recent developments in museum visitors' guides focus on context awareness, personalization and multimodal and multimedia information presentation to individuals and groups of visitors. However, the modern museum is becoming an "Active Museum", which is a special example of an active environment that interacts with its inhabitants. Since recent museum visitors' guides have focused more on the ap...

In the past few years, museum visualization systems have become a hot topic that attracts many researchers’ interests. Several systems provide Web services for browsing museum collections through the Web. In this paper, we proposed an intelligent museum system for history museum artifacts, and described a study in which we enable access to China and Japan cultural heritage information from two ...

A Museum of Natural Heritage is quite different from a traditional Cultural Heritage museum. In fact, most part of the contents of such kind of Museum are in a natural environment unlike the traditional museum that exhibits the contents present in their building. This kind of museum, managed by Universities, is also devoted to a larger non-expert public and to University students and researcher...
