Firstly, the 'aesthetic' understood as aesthetic perception of beautiful form. Secondly, the 'aesthetic' recognized as the poietic activity, i.e. the production of an object, in which the recipient also takes part. These perspectives are discussed, in brief,...
The CIPO artwork program are interactive action based installations, that investigate through robot agents, the relationship between subjects, body and space. The interminglements of spectators within the digital framework turn the space into an experimental place. The CIPO program involves the live energy of the human presence, performer; it agitates the spectators to perform in an active relation...
Taking Yanchi County as a case study, the driving factors of desertification had been analyzed. The results show that the remarkable feature of desertification of Yanchi County is the landscape changing from grassland and farmland to desert. At the same time, the fragmentation of grassland landscape is increasing continually, while the farmland is linked up on space with the decreasing landscape fragmentation...
Xijiang River, the main stream of Pearl River Basin, suffered a lot from flood and the frequency and magnitude of flood increased obviously due to intensive human activities in recent years. In order to know the flood evolution law and its mechanism, hydrological variation diagnosis system was applied to analyze variation towards annual maximum peak flow and highest water level in middle reach of...
By in-situ investigation and datum collection, the natural environment, social and economic condition in Changgou county of Zhalong national natural reserve (short for Zhalong N N R) were introduced, and it's influence on habitat that stoped off in Zhalong N N R was analyzed. Results show that food-hunt conflict between local human being living and hooded crane stopped over in Changgou County exists,...
With steel structural system, existing congregated apartments are restricted by the conflicts between quality and economy, technology and humanism, form and function, architecture and environment, so sustainability lies lower level in China. In order to improve the sustainability of 3S Congregated Apartments in China, this paper will discuss the problems how to incorporate the sustainability throughout...
To increase the optimal number of divisions of the pen pressure space and achieve greater pen pressure usability, we present four pen pressure division variations: division according to personal/aggregation pen pressure use distribution with/without visual feedback of uniform level widths and the traditional even division method. Two experiments were conducted to investigate pen pressure use distribution...
Incentive mechanism of public servants a way of action and value by which government leads public servants in order to achieve administrative goals, which has vital influence on motivating and encouraging public servants' enthusiastic and dynamic energy, and increasing efficiency of governmental administration. At present, in incentive mechanism of public servants of China, there exist lots of problems,...
The source of enterprise competitive advantage has continuously been one of the central propositions in strategic management since strategic management discipline was born in 1960s. Human thinks and acts usually according to the routines in reality. It is the same way for enterprise which is made up of people. So enterprise routines play very important role during an enterprise's survival and development...
With the advent of knowledge economy, there is showing a series of new features in the HR Development and Management in Government such as capitalization, strategic-orientation, people-orientation and virtualization etc, in the aspects of concept, ideas, systems and supporting measures, which highlights the weak points of the HR Development and Management in Government including the lag of concept,...
The core competence of firms is built on the bases of imperfectly imitable and non-substitutable heterogeneous resources. The firms get heterogeneous resources relying on the depth mining of knowledge and the flexibility use of knowledge capital. Knowledge capital has three parts: human capital, structural capital and relationship capital, human capital as the creator of knowledge, organizational...
Probability represents a degree of belief or level of confidence we place in a hypothesis. The law of "karma" based on the cause and effect forms the integral part of the Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain philosophy. In statistics, Bayes' theorem was formulated two hundred years ago to re-evaluate probabilities when a new evidence for or against the hypothesis comes to light. Since we are contributing...
This paper adopts the methods of product unity identity design and refinement of brand image foundation strategy to research strategy of uniformly designing for brand image of product, external vivid marking image of product, internal nominal quality image and image characteristic of social symbolic symbol. It reveals that product unity identity design has the characteristics of symbolic, commonality,...
The media environment has become another very important factor in the social environment and has become the most important “modeling power” in modern society. Profit orientation of media and market competitive pressures, as well as the extremely poor public media literacy endows media education with the necessity and urgency. This paper studies on the content of media literacy education and implementation...
The small watershed in Loess Plateau gully region was selected as the starting point to analyze the human settlements there. Jiangjia River was chosen as a typical case, and the intuitive figures and data were obtained according to the analysis in depth by the enhanced features and functionality of digital technology, and more detailed information was also got for the development planning of the human...
Bottleneck between robots and people presents an enormous challenge to the human-robot interaction community. So in addition to robot object learning, task learning, and natural language understanding, this paper proposes designing interfaces that make up for low communication bandwidth by thoughtfully accounting for the constrained capabilities of robots. This approach takes advantage of already...
This paper describes about the effect of social robot's behavior on human performance. The robot behaves based on an artificial mind model, and it expresses emotions according to the situation. In this research, we consider about the case where human and the robot learn cooperatively. The robot emotionally reacts to the joint learner's success and failure. The experimental result shows that social...
This paper introduces the concept of Coactivity as a new focal point for Human-Robot Interaction to address the more sophisticated roles of partner or teammate envisioned for future human-robot systems. We propose that most approaches to date have focused on autonomy and suggest that autonomy is the wrong focal point. The envisioned roles, if properly performed, have a high level of interdependence...
