2.2 Standardised products While Theodore Levitt's (1983) classic article about the globalisation of markets accepted that there are fundamental disparities across different local contexts that have to be accommodated (for example, Japan's auto exporters had to adjust to the fact that the USA and continental Europe, unlike Japan, drive on the right), he argued that there was an underlying uniformity in human tastes. Levitt's vision of the globalisation of markets was that it created opportunities for firms to offer glo
Conclusion Despite claims made for its potential, wave energy can never make any significant contribution to global energy supplies, although it may find a use in coastal communities. The greatest potential from wave energy exists far from shore, but waves are wind-dependent and so supplies are bound to be irregular.

Maura Dunst of the University of Hull looks at the forgotten 'Queen of Bath' Madam Sarah Grand.
Places of Mind: Implications of Narrative Space for the Architecture of Information Environments
Virtual reality and cyberspace are extended spaces of the mind different from, yet related to, the spaces of fiction and ancient myth. These earlier spaces reveal how electronic media, too, may come to define our selves and our culture. Indeed, a better understanding of how we use space to think can lead to the design of better information environments. This paper will describe a range of traditional narrative spaces, revealing their varied relationships with the physical world. It will demonstr
Electronic Extension: Some implications of cyberspace for the practice of architecture
This white-paper builds upon previous research to present hybrids of electronic and physical spaces as extensions of current design practice. It poses an hypothetical project - a hybrid of physical and cyberspaces - to be developed through an extrapolation of current architectural practice by fully exploiting new information technologies. The hybrid's attributes not only affect the scope of development but the very activities of the design team and client during - and after - deployment. The e
STARS: Shared Transatlantic Augmented Reality System
Since October 2000 the authors have operated a laboratory, the Shared Transatlantic Augmented Reality System (STARS), for exploring telepresence in the domestic environment. The authors, an artist and an architect, are conducting a series of experiments to test their hypotheses concerning mixed reality and supportive environments. This paper describes these hypotheses, the purpose and construction of the lab, and preliminary results from the ongoing collaboration.
Designing Mixed Reality: Principles, Projects and Practice
Mixed Reality is an increasingly prevalent technology that merges digital simulations with physical objects or environments. This paper presents principles for the design of mixed reality compositions. The principles are illustrated by projects and experiments by the author involving architecture and robotics.
3.4 Modular multiplication In the last subsection we stated that, for any integer n ≥ 2, the set
n satisfies the same rules for addition modulo n as the real numbers satisfy for ordinary addition. When it comes to multiplication in Author(s):

The Arts Past and Present: Diva
How do you get to be one of the great operatic divas? Catherine Rogers might just have what it takes to be a famous opera singer, but she still has lots of work to do. This album gives us an insight into the immense effort it requires to become a musical performer. As well as singing, acting, language, and stage skills all need to be honed. Catherine tackles the tragic aria of the Countess in Mozart's Marriage of Figaro and is praised by her tutors. In the audio track Elaine Moohan from the Musi
2.2 Gender categories Young children's gender categories are highly stereotyped. This can lead to assured predictions of an individual's preferences based upon knowledge of their gender, and the kinds of activities that they may typically engage in. Children develop such rigid gender categories in their search for certainty about gender. These categories are essentialist, having a simple in-group and out-group distinction that children use for understanding masculinity and femininity, and for defining their own ge
Learning outcomes After studying this course, you should be able to: describe environmental matters regarding obligation and entitlements from a ‘caring’ perspective appreciate the significance of environmental consequentialist ethics in conversations around developing care identify and compare formal and less formal expressions of environmental responsibility understand ‘accountability’ in the context of environmental issues ide
Docker Overview for .NET Developers | Docker for .NET Developers In this video, you'll get a quick overview of Docker and why it's beneficial. We'll also delve into some of the common questions about containers like what a container is, what's a Dockerfile, Docker images versus containers, how .NET developers can use containers, how deployments work, and how Microsoft is partnering with Docker.
