Modes of Interaction: Categorizing Collaboration in the Creation of New Music
The creation of new music is shaped by an array of influences that affect how a piece is composed and performed. The majority of new music is created, modified, and amended over time and the collaborative interactions between the composer and the performer are a key factor in the creation of new …

Musical swarm robot simulation strategies
… explore algorithmic composition as well as new modes of human robot interaction. This work outlines a strategy for making music with a robotic swarm constrained by acoustic sound, rhythmic music using sequencers, motion causing changes in the music, and finally human and swarm interaction. Two …

The use of English requests by native Spanish speakers and its relation to politeness values
There are different modes of interaction between speakers. Some of these differences reflect an individual style of speech behavior but very often, variation in interaction is deeply rooted in the sociocultural norms of speaking of the speaker and the hearer. Universal pragmatic principles, such as …

Regulation of membrane fusion by Tlg2p & Vps45p through the endosomal system of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
SNARE proteins are essential components of the machinery that facilitates membrane fusion in eukaryotic cells. SNARE proteins are subject to multiple levels of regulation, one of which is imbedded in the syntaxin (Qa-SNARE) molecule. It has been demonstrated that some syntaxins adopt a closed …

Exploiting biological pathways to infer temporal gene interaction models
… goal in genomic research is the reconstruction of the complete picture of temporal interactions among all genes, but this inference problem is not tractable because of the large number of genes, the small number of experimental observations for each gene, and the complexity of biological …

Taking Turns: A Conversational Approach to Ecological Design
Better integration of human cultures and ecological communities is needed to sustain the health of people and the land. The inherent difference between concepts and things themselves, and the cultural disconnection between intellectual-conceptual and physical-material work, are implicated in …

EFFECTS OF USING VIDEO, AUDIO, OR MIXED CHANNELS FOR VICARIOUS LEARNER INTERACTIONS IN A SYNCHRONOUS E-LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
Technology changes often force teachers, trainers, instructional designers, and administrators to make instructional design and delivery decisions that ideally should be based upon pedagogy research. In many circumstances, however, a foundational pedagogy question is only recognized when a …

Testing the limits of civil society in Jordan
Civil society is either considered as a motor of democratization or stabilizer of authoritarian rule. This dichotomy is partly due to the dominance of domains-based definitions of the concept that reduce civil society to a small range of formally organized, independent and democratically oriented …

Surface Gesture & Object Tracking on Tabletop Devices
In this thesis, we are interested in the use of tabletop surfaces for interactive manipulations. We focus on the implementation of Image Processing algorithms and techniques in two projects exploiting a horizontal surface: "Tangram Project" and "MirrorTrack". The "Tangram Project" studies …

Using high-bandwidth input/output in interactive art
Are we making the best use of commonly available high-bandwidth input/output ( I/O) devices on our computers? How would research on this subject be affected if it were driven by a purely artistic mandate? The bandwidth in question refers specifically to video input and output devices, the only …

The Materiality of the Self: A Multimodal, Communicative Approach to Identity
The purpose of this dissertation is to propose a multimodal approach as an alternative way of theorizing and researching identity. The multimodal approach utilizes four modes of interaction--multidirectional interpellation, spatiality, temporality, and corporealit--to explore the processes of …
