The paper discusses the storytelling formulas of the first season of the German series Dark (2017–2020) by focusing on the key temporal and spatial aspects of seriality in the show, such as the time frame of diegesis (story time), the temporal structure of the story (discourse and narration time) and the unique temporal installation of the series. As argued, the story and visual textuality of Dark not only transcends time and space – thus to provide us with a complex narrative set – but, by atemporal and spatial storytelling jumps, it creates a map of inconsistencies of double discontinuity fairly new to television and serial narration. By focusing on these spatial-temporal aspects of the series, the paper sketches a new approach to postmodern television formulas, while it also offers a possible interpretation to the national characteristics of the production based on the recurring theme of captivity in time.

Abstract What is the life of an idea? How do some ideas result in creative outcomes? People interested in creativity often want to know the answers to these questions. Although there are numerous methods and measures for assessing creative persons and products, there is little by way of methods for documenting and analysing the trajectories of ideas. The purpose of this paper is to address this need by introducing a new approach for tracing and analysing ideational pathways. Ideational pathways refer to the trajectory of ideas in temporal and spatial dimensions. That is, how ideas travel through time and space and whether those ideas end up resulting in creative outcomes. We open the paper by providing a theoretical and conceptual background for ideational pathways. We then introduce an emerging approach for tracing these pathways and apply it to two examples. We close by discussing implications and directions for future research.

The Dead

The concepts of succession and duration are used to identify different temporal aspects of architecture. Typically architecture that is based on duration seeks to persist unchanged within time whilst that based on succession engages with change, transience and rhythm. The organisation of succession and duration, according to different temporal structures, is used to inform a series of design studies. Structures relating to the weather, programmed and unconsidered use, clock time, mechanical time, circadian rhythms, entropy and space-time are examined in a discussion on the architectural chronotope which ‘artistically connects temporal and spatial relationships’.

Paul Giles, “‘By Degrees’: Jane Austen’s Chronometric Style of World Literature” (pp. 265–293) This essay considers how Jane Austen’s work relates to “World Literature” by internalizing a chronometric style. Examining the emergence of the chronometer in the eighteenth century, it suggests how Austen drew on nautical frames of reference to combine disparate trajectories of local realism, geographical distance, and historical time. The essay thus argues that Austen’s fiction is interwoven with a reflexive mode of cartographic mapping, one that draws aesthetically on nautical instruments to remap time and space. This style involves charting various fluctuations of perspective that reorder history, memory, and genealogy, while also recalibrating Britain’s position in relation to the wider world. Moving on from an initial analysis of Austen’s juvenilia and early novels, the essay proceeds in its second part to discuss Mansfield Park (1814) in relation to Pacific exploration and trade. In its third part, it considers Emma (1815) in the context of comic distortions and the misreadings that arise from temporal and spatial compressions in the narrative, a form heightened by the novel’s reflexive wordplay. Hence the essay argues that Austen’s particular style of World Literature integrates chronometric cartography with domestic circumstances, an elusive idiom that also manifests itself in relation to the gender dynamics of Persuasion (1817) and the unfinished “Sanditon,” as discussed in the essay’s concluding pages. This is correlated finally with the way Austen’s novels are calibrated, either directly or indirectly, in relation to a global orbit.

Orthodox quantum mechanics has another implicit postulate stating that temporal and spatial frequencies of the Planck–Einstein and de Broglie formulas can only be linked with the infinite, in time and space, harmonic plane waves of Fourier analysis. From this assumption, nonlocality either in space and time follows directly. This is what is called Fourier Ontology. In order to build nonlinear causal and local quantum physics, it is necessary to reject Fourier ontology and accept that in certain cases a finite wave may have a well defined frequency. Now the mathematical tool to describe this new approach is wavelet local analysis. This more general nonlinear local and causal quantum physics, in the limit of the linear approximation, contains formally orthodox quantum mechanics as a particular case.

This chapter interrogates the notion of the liminal in relation to the virtual and the imaginary through a consideration of the field of art, science, and technology and current creative practices in virtual worlds and avatar-mediated space. In particular, the art project Meta-Dreamer (2009) is considered through the manifestation of the avatar as digital object. In its attempt to explore the experience of “living between worlds,” it reflects the concerns of contemporary arts practice exploration of time and space relationships. The art project is re-examined in light of key arguments in the provocative text Liminal Lives (Squier, 2004) that advocates a new approach to the liminal in light of current biomedicine and the shifting and emergent qualities of contemporary human life.

Abstract The separation of time and space in processing a sample greatly simplifies the design of automation for clinical testing. The efficient spatial arrangement of analytical units and sample manipulators has become a more complex task because of the degree of automation required on today's state-of-the-art analyzer. Minimization of sample volume and the reduction of overall analyzer size further complicate the design problem. We report the development of a proprietary method of decoupling the temporal and spatial elements required for analysis of samples. This process is based on number theory and can be used to optimize the distance between the physical processing stations while allowing these same stations to operate on samples over a substantial range of times. The technique is versatile and can also be used when it is desirable to sequentially move groups of items from location to location.

Abstract A new approach to formulation of asymptotic boundary conditions for eigenvalue problems arising in numerical analysis of hydrodynamic stability of such shear flows as boundary layers, separations, jets, wakes, characterized by almost constant velocity of the main flow outside the shear layer or layers is proposed and justified. This approach makes it possible to formulate and solve completely the temporal and spatial stability problems in the locally-parallel approximation, reducing them to ordinary algebraic eigenvalue problems.

The Relationship

The use of neural networks represents a new approach to how this type of problem can be investigated. The economics and finance literature is full of studies that require the researcher to prespecify the exact nature of the relationship and select specific variables to test. In this study, we use a multistage approach that requires no prespecification of the model and allows us to look for associations and relationships that may not have been considered. Previous studies have been limited by the nature of statistical tools, which require the researcher to determine the variables, time frame, and markets to test. An intelligent guess may lead to the desired outcome, but neural networks are used to produce a more thorough analysis of the data, thus improving the researcher’s ability to uncover unanticipated relationships and associations.

Cultural Connotations

The transition from patriotism and sense of community to the creation of the distinct political community in early twentieth century was through an imaginative interpretation of history in the writing of Dwijendralal Roy (1863–1913), a poet, dramatist and composer of Bengal. Imagination through creative ‘use’ of history had been directed to underline the location of time and space of an emotive community. By this, one could retrieve, criticize and create this emotion through time and space, its definitiveness continuously shifting, evolving, through family, country and community. In the process of creating a nation the notion of the ‘other’ was necessary. This other with all its cultural connotations was found in the stereotypes of ‘Muslim’ and ‘Islam’ in opposition to ‘Rajput’ and ‘Hindu’. It is through these oppositional levels and the interplay of these oppositions that a new nation state could be formed. The notion of Muslim rule as the external enemy was created whose historical function was to provide the occasion for a heroic battle in which virtue could be highlighted. Even within this tradition of writing Dwijendralal brought in a strong note of moderation. There is neither a very powerful tendency to praise everything ‘Hindu’, nor look down upon Islam, which sometimes created apparent contradiction. Where there is valourization of the Rajputs in the ‘Rajputs plays’ it has been placed in the context of the Mughals as the ‘other’. But in the study of the Mughals in the ‘Mughal plays’ there is a concentration on the family and kinship. Both the types are set in about the same time frame yet the values stressed on are different. An analysis of Dwijendralal’s ‘historical’ plays brings into focus an attempt at rewriting history to transcend history as a discipline with its boundaries of time and space, intertwining facts and imagination, through real and created characters to establish the need for a universal ethos.

Maternal Recognition Of Pregnancy

Bovine interferon (bIFN) τ has been implicated as a mediator of maternal recognition of pregnancy in cattle. Ovine (o) and bIFNτ expression show temporal patterns until implantation begins (Farin et al. 1990 Biol. Reprod. 43, 210–218); therefore, the expression peaks of bIFNτ are not well understood. This study aimed to investigate the expression profile of mRNA and protein secretion of bIFNτ in conceptuses obtained from cows on Days 12 to 28 in early pregnancy. Induction of superovulation and recipient synchronization were achieved by previously reported methods (Hirayama et al. 2004 Theriogenology 62, 887–896). Embryos were recovered non-surgically on Day 8 (Day 0 = estrus). Subsequently, recovered embryos were singly transferred to recipients immediately upon evaluation. Bovine conceptuses and uterine flushings were collected non-surgically from embryo-transferred cows on Days 12 (n = 2), 14 (n = 6), 16 (n = 5), 18 (n = 4), and 20 (n = 5) with MEM. On Days 22 (n = 3), 24 (n = 5), and 28 (n = 2), bovine conceptuses were recovered within 30 min after slaughter by flushing the uterus with PBS supplemented with 0.1% BSA. Uterine flushings were also collected from 6 cows in the control group on Day 16 of the estrous cycle. Conceptuses for collection of RNA were processed individually and stored at -80�C until analysis. The flushing was centrifuged at 1800g and 4�C for 30 min to remove cellular debris, and stored at -30�C for subsequent measurement of bIFNτ. Total RNA in conceptuses were reverse transcribed for PCR. Quantification of mRNA abundance was performed by real-time PCR. The expression of each mRNA concentration was normalized to the abundance of GAPDH. BIFNτ contents of the uterine flushings were measured by RIA (Takahashi et al. 2005 Theriogenology 63, 1050–1060). Intra-assay and inter-assay CVs were 11.0 and 8.5%, respectively. Transcripts of bIFNτ were detected in all samples from Days 12 to 28; the expression of mRNA increased remarkably from Day 16 (mean � SEM, 2.15 � 0.66) to Day 18 (9.62 � 4.09), and then declined on Day 20 (3.42 � 0.86). Protein detected on Day 16 was 13.3 � 3.02 �g. An increase of bIFNτ secretion was observed between Day 18 (39.8 � 20.62 �g) and Day 20 (71.9 � 17.36 �g); thereafter it decreased on Day 22 (27.2 � 2.83 �g). BIFNτ displayed a pattern of expression similar to that of oIFNτ, with mRNA expression peaking around Day 18 (ovine, Days 12/13) and protein secretion on Day 20 (ovine, Days 15/16), thereby reflecting the comparatively later time frame of maternal recognition of pregnancy in cattle. These results indicate that the expression and secretion profiles of bIFNτ show temporal and spatial patterns in early pregnancy.
