In lectures and writings in the decades following publication of Studies Ethnomethodology [1967], Harold Garfinkel, founder ethnomethodology, developed what he called a “misreading” phenomenological Aron Gurwitsch, Maurice Merleau-Ponty others. Garfinkel’s included selective creative treatment themes that Gurwitsch drew from Gestalt psychology, such as figure-ground, contexture, phenomenal fiel...

On the so-called Web 2.0, numerous Social Networking Sites (SNS) have known a tremendous success as they brought new ways to communicate, interact, learn about people, and share content with them. Besides improving informal social ties, transposing Awareness to the enterprise is very promising for promoting collaboration. However, it can easily lead to information overload, which means producti...

The Embryonics project is inspired by some of the basic processes of molecular biology, such as the embryonic development of living beings. Transposing these processes in to digital electronic integrated circuits, we design artificial organisms endowed with properties typical of to the living world, such as self-repair and self-healing. In order to illustrate the original features of the Embryo...

In the offline list update problem, we maintain an unsorted linear list used as a dictionary. Accessing the item at position i in the list costs i units. In order to reduce access cost, we are allowed to update the list at any time by transposing consecutive items at a cost of one unit. Given a sequence of requests one has to serve in turn, we are interested in the minimal cost needed to serve ...

This study provides an insight into the difficulties companies encounter in transposing basic science into commercially viable healthcare technologies, focusing on the issue of establishing a dominant supply model within a highly regulated market. The core issue is how to scale-up customized scientific processes into products able to supply wider and possibly mass, markets. In tracing the devel...

Matrix transpose in parallel systems typically involves costly all-to-all communications. In this paper, we provide a comparative characterization of various efficient algorithms for transposing small and large matrices using the popular symmetric multiprocessors (SMP) architecture, which carries a relatively low communication cost due to its large aggregate bandwidth and lowlatency inter-proce...

BACKGROUND The question of how the brain encodes letter position in written words has attracted increasing attention in recent years. A number of models have recently been proposed to accommodate the fact that transposed-letter stimuli like jugde or caniso are perceptually very close to their base words. METHODOLOGY Here we examined how letter position coding is attained in the tactile modali...
