Schoenberg's ‘atonal’ (i.e. nontonal, pre-serial) music continues to offer stubborn resistance to analysis. The co-existence within the oeuvre of widely diverging, even conflicting, ‘linguistic’ directions has resulted in a theoretical literature inclined to illuminate the individual work or specific technical feature rather than to lay the foundations for useful analytical generalizations.

Virtual playgrounds designed for children 4-12 years-old are among the fastest growing segments of the Internet. These spaces offer the promise of new social, educational, and creative opportunities for young people. These opportunities, however, are associated with new risks due to the nature of online interactions. This article presents a socio-technical investigation of two virtual worlds for children. Informed by Value Sensitive Design, the work highlights the tensions between supporting age appropriate, developmental play and constraining inappropriate behavior to ensure “safety.” This article concludes with implications for the design of virtual spaces for young people. We note in particular that the features of children’s worlds are affected by their framing, specifically by the language and practices that are encouraged by the interaction design. We challenge designers to consider how children may interpret >technical feature in practice, and the long-term implications of features intended to keep children safe.

Abstract Danmu function as an augmented comment feature has been adopted by almost all live streaming platforms to foster interaction between viewers and the streamer in China. However, few studies have been conducted to understand the determinants of users’ Danmu sending behavior on live streaming platforms. This study examines this phenomenon from the lens of effectance theory and the S-O-R framework. We propose that two effectances – Danmu effectance and live streaming effectance – play an essential role in active Danmu participation. In addition, we explore the effects of time-enhanced (synchronicity) and space-enhanced technical characteristic (visibility) of Danmu on live streaming platforms on two effectances. Data analysis of 877 participations from Douyu platform in mainland China indicates that active Danmu participation is positively associated with Danmu effectance and live streaming effectance which are influenced by both time-enhanced technical feature (synchronicity) and space-enhanced technical feature (visibility). In addition, the study finds that demographic characteristics, namely education and income, also affect active Danmu participation.

This chapter examines the workings of extended, Web-oriented communications commodity chains. It begins with a discussion of networks and access devices—an expansive, malleable infrastructure comprised of service, software, and applications powered by other intermediaries, vendors of everything from operating systems, browsers, search engines, and social networks to program content. It then considers how recomposition continued at a frenzied pace across this great range throughout the digital depression, signifying capital's scramble to open and to occupy high-profit boxes. It also explores the ways in which network infrastructures impacted a century-old manufacturing base and describes the apparently neutral technical feature of the emerging system's network engineering that attested to the changes that characterized the transition to the Internet. The chapter concludes with an assessment of the erosion of social responsibility around networks and how telecommunications liberalization induced a growing potential for market turmoil.

The creative thinking of the pressure -continuously-regulating device based on a NC rotary valve is introduced. Its inner structure, operating principle and technical feature are given out. The equation that gas flow and pressure changed with the rotation angle of the valve core is provided too. Stepper motor is used as its actuating device in this creative pressure -continuously-regulating device whose basic component is the specially designed, such as valve body, valve core and some common connections. Orifice area is changed by rotating the valve core controlled with a PC-controlled stepper motor which, and then an accurate adjustment of flow rate is thus ensured. As the change of the rotation angle is continuous, the flow rate also changes continuously, so the change of the pressure must be continuous.

With the development of continuous welded rail (CWR) in China high speed railway, the innovative study has been carried out for the welding technique of track key part. Firstly, the paper introduces the traditional rail welding technique and its problems in China, and then, it proposes the new “SQ” gas welding technique on that basis, finally, it describes “SQ” gas welding technique in terms of technical feature, flow, economic benefit and application, which will be conductive to China railway track welding.
