Facilitated by emerging technologies, the immersive digital museum reflects disruptive innovation in today’s tourism experience and offers a multidimensional experience different from traditional museums. To better understand how visitors respond to this innovative form of digital tourism, the current research investigates visitor experiences at the digital museum and achieves a threefold goal. First, this research delineates a three-dimensional digital museum visitor experience, namely, joviality, personal escapism, and localness. Built on this experiential framework, the present research further affirms that visual and auditory cues are the most powerful multisensory cue combination in enhancing a holistic visitor experience at the digital museum. This study also finds that emotional state and sense of presence mediate the relations between the multisensory cues and visitors’ digital museum experiences. This research contributes to the conceptualization of a digital museum experience, and provides a foundation for the future research endeavor of the new generation of digital tourism.

Abstract The Japanese traditional fan, which is a form of origami originating in Japan with a folding culture, has a variety of three-dimensional expression that differs from two-dimensional expression. The image painted on the fan deforms when the fan is folded. In this study, we create a digital fan model for clarifying the deformation on the fan face according to parameters such as length of the bamboo bones. We then validate the digital model with an actual fan. Furthermore, we obtain the original plan view from images of the folded fan as a reverse problem. Because folding fans are made of paper and bamboo and held in the hand, old traditional folding fans are more or less damaged; for example, many culturally valuable folding fans have lost their bones and have damaged edges, have been stretched flat, and have been framed like paintings. Reproducing the original fan without information of the original form is difficult. In the present study, we provide a digital fan model for examining the original fan shape. Old valuable folding fans are treasured by museums and collectors around the world. In future research, we would like to capture such precious folding fans in three-dimensional space applying our digital fan model and to exhibit these fans in a digital museum, providing opportunities not only to enjoy the value of the fans but also to encourage the research of Japanese traditional culture.

Within education, the importance of creativity is recognized as an essential 21st-century skill. Based on this premise, the first aim of this article is to provide a theoretical integration through the development of a framework based on the principles of complex dynamic systems theory, which describes and explains children’s creativity. This model is used to explain differing views on the role of education in developing children’s creativity. Our second aim is empirical integration. On the basis of a three-dimensional taxonomy, we performed a systematic review of the recent literature (2006–2017, 184 studies) on primary school students’ creativity. Our results show that creativity is most often measured as a static, aggregated construct. In line with our theoretical model, we suggest ways that future research can elaborate on the moment-to-moment interactions that form the basis of long-term creative development, as well as on the mechanisms that connect different levels of creativity.

Disruptive innovations have radically transformed many industries at a time of information and communication technology and fourth industrialization. Salient examples such as Apple, Google, and Facebook reveal how disruptive innovations often emerge at the ecosystem or system level rather than individual firms. Unfortunately, there has been little attention in the academic literature about the role of ecosystem development and the evolution of disruptive innovations. To overcome the chasm, this study introduces the concepts of disruptive innovation ecosystems and clarifies how the financial technology (FinTech) ecosystem has transformed the financial service industry. Finally, this study discusses the evolution of the FinTech ecosystem and proposes a future research agenda on disruptive innovations and ecosystems. Our study shows that disruptive innovation ecosystems are deserving of further attention.

APA (aminopeptidase A; EC 3.4.11.7) is a membrane-bound zinc metallopeptidase, also activated by Ca2+, involved in the formation of brain angiotensin III, which exerts a tonic stimulatory action on the central control of blood pressure in hypertensive animals. In the present study, in the three-dimensional model of the ectodomain of mouse APA, we docked the specific APA inhibitor glutamate phosphonate, in the presence of Ca2+. The model showed the presence of one Ca2+ atom in an hydrophilic pocket corresponding to the S1 subsite in which the lateral chain of the inhibitor is pointing. In this pocket, the Ca2+ atom was hexaco-ordinated with the acidic side chains of Asp213 and Asp218, the carbonyl group of Glu215 and three water molecules, one of them being engaged in a hydrogen bond with the negatively charged carboxylate side chain of the inhibitor. Mutagenic replacement of Asp213 and Asp218 with a conservative residue maintained the ability of mutated APAs to be activated by Ca2+. However, the replacement by a non-conservative residue abolished this property, demonstrating the crucial role of these residues in Ca2+ binding. We also showed the involvement of these residues in the strict specificity of APA in the presence of Ca2+ for N-terminal acidic residues from substrates or inhibitors, since mutagenic replacement of Asp213 and Asp218 induced a decrease of the inhibitory potencies of inhibitors homologous with acidic residues. Finally, this led to the rational design of a new potent APA inhibitor, NI926 (Ki=70 nM), which allowed us to precisely localize Asp213 at the entrance and Asp218 at the bottom of the S1 subsite. Taken together, these data provide new insight into the organization and functional role of the APA S1 subsite and will allow the design of pharmacophore of the inhibitor, helpful for the development of a new generation of APA inhibitors as central-acting antihypertensive agents.

Using Data

The connective potentials of digital media have been positioned as a key part of a contemporary museum visitor experience. Using a sociology of translation, we construct a network of visitor experiences using data from a digital media engagement project at a large and multi-sited museum in the United Kingdom. These experiences relate to (dis)connections with the museum, museum objects and other visitors. Through this analysis, we disclose the often contradictory roles of the non-human, including and going beyond the digital, as contributors to the success and failure of attempts to change museum visitor experiences through engagement activities rooted in narratives of participation and connectivity.

Electromagnetic Crystal

A three-dimensional electromagnetic crystal is employed as a directivity-enhancing superstrate for planar antennas. The crystal is a woodpile made of alumina rods. In a shielded anechoic chamber, the performance of a patch antenna covered with the woodpile is measured. The superstrate is positioned at different distances from the antenna and its orientation is varied in the 8–12 GHz frequency range. The return loss, gain and radiation pattern in the E- and H-planes are measured. The electromagnetic behavior of Fabry-Perot cavities with woodpile mirrors, equivalent to the compound radiator, is also studied. The main effect of the crystal on the antenna performance is an enhancement of about 10 dB in maximum gain. A rather complete series of experiments is presented, highlighting the role of the periodic structure in the directivity enhancement and allowing a deeper understanding of the electromagnetic phenomena involved in EBG resonator antennas. Benefits and disadvantages of this kind of antennas are discussed and ideas for future research are given.

ABSTRACT We present a series of images of different fetal intracranial, intrathoracic and intra-abdominal anomalies reconstructed using HDlive. It is a novel three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound modality that can provide the operator with naturally realistic features of any fetal anomalies. HDlive and its inversion mode are applied in several cases and two-dimensional (2D) sonographic images of different anomalies are also presented clearly to compare the advantages of HDlive in this article. This review focuses on the role of HDlive in the presence of such anomalies. HDlive should be a very useful aid in adjunct to other ultrasound modalities, specifically in cases that warrant detailed information. It can also be useful for the antenatal surveillance of anomalies, such as cystic lesions that may progress to complications. This innovative tool offers many promising advantages in clinical practice and future research on fetal anomalies. How to cite this article Cajusay-Velasco S, Hata T.

Insight Into

Visitation to the dark past of history is growing where more tourist is confronting concepts of mortality. Still, it appears to have minimal research on dark tourist experiences in the context of prison museums, particularly the Old Melbourne Gaol. The aim of the research is to analyse visitors’ experiences and provide recommendation for improvement. The relevance of the research is understanding dark tourist experiences will give insight into how service offerings can be improved in prison museums. The researcher conducted a qualitative study using thematic analysis to understand visitor experiences better and provide recommendation for future visitation. Purposive sampling was used to explore mixed reviews from the widely used platform called TripAdvisor. One of the key findings is that most visitors are international tourists accompanied by family or friends visiting towards the end of the year, which means that service offerings should be geared towards this group. Furthermore, the overall visitor experience is positive, and emerging themes narrates the authenticity of carceral life, interactive experience and exciting reenactments at the Old Melbourne Goal. Lastly, the findings reveal the need to reconsider the role of customer service as it influences the overall satisfaction of visitors and strengthen substantial aspects of service offerings to increase visitation and enhance the visitor experience.

Convolutional Neural Networks are a very powerful Deep Learning algorithm used in image processing, object classification and segmentation. They are very robust in extracting features from data and largely used in several domains. Nonetheless, they require a large number of training datasets and relations between features get lost in the Max-pooling step, which can lead to a wrong classification. Capsule Networks (CapsNets) were introduced to overcome these limitations by extracting features and their pose using capsules instead of neurons. This technique shows an impressive performance in one-dimensional, two-dimensional and three-dimensional datasets as well as in sparse datasets. In this paper, we present an initial understanding of CapsNets, their concept, structure and learning algorithm. We introduce the progress made by CapsNets from their introduction in 2011 until 2020. We compare different CapsNets series to demonstrate strengths and challenges. Finally, we quote different implementations of Capsule Networks and show their robustness in a variety of domains. This survey provides the state-of-the-art of Capsule Networks and allows other researchers to get a clear view of this new field. Besides, we discuss the open issues and the promising directions of future research, which may lead to a new generation of CapsNets.
