Various endeavours into semantic web technologies and ontology engineering have been made within the organisation of cultural data, facilitating public access to digital assets. Although models for conceptualising objects have reached a certain level of ma ...
In a geotechnical excavation, back analyses are routinely performed using the measured field responses to derive the material parameter values for the different soil layers present at the site. For the purpose of back analyses, the engineers will usually m ...
With the crisis of Fordist capitalism and the rise of “cognitive capitalism”, the ‘knowledge worker’ became a crucial figure in contemporary cities. In such a context, once away from the sphere of the family, after concluding the university studies, for th ...
The essential aspects of drawing cannot be taught theoretically. They can only be learned through practice by creating a certain intimacy with the work. The action of hand drawing initiates a transformative bodily experience generating intensities, frictio ...
Formalised knowledge systems, including universities and research institutes, are important for contemporary societies. They are, however, also arguably failing humanity when their impact is measured against the level of progress being made in stimulating ...
This paper discusses and analyses two domain decomposition approaches for electromagnetic problems that allow the combination of domains discretised by either Nédélec-type polynomial finite elements or spline-based isogeometric analysis. The first approach ...
Social media (SM) platforms have demonstrated their ability to facilitate knowledge sharing on the global scale. They are increasingly often employed in educational and humanitarian domains where, despite their general benefits, they expose challenges pecu ...
Humanitarian organisations provide invaluable work to improve the lives of individuals impacted by natural and anthropogenic hazards. While humanitarian organisations are highly knowledge intensive, they often fail to manage knowledge effectively. Providin ...
Transnational research partnerships are considered fundamental for supporting research and creating shared knowledge for sustainable development. They enable the acquisition and global sharing of high-quality information and create shared knowledge and cap ...
Based mainly on sensors, flow optimization and algorithms, the smart city model has revealed its limits. The city’s smart citizens are scarcely included in the planning process, even though they occupy a key position to produce and share valuable knowledge ...
