TL;DR: In this paper, it is argued that focused attention provides spatiotemporal coherence for the stable representation of one object at a time, and that the allocation of attention can be co-ordinated to create a virtual representation.
Abstract: One of the more powerful impressions created by vision is that of a coherent, richly detailed world where everything is present simultaneously. Indeed, this impression is so compelling that we tend to ascribe these properties not only to the external world, but to our internal representations as well. But results from several recent experiments argue against this latter ascription. For example, changes in images of real-world scenes often go unnoticed when made during a saccade, flicker, blink, or movie cut. This “change blindness” provides strong evidence against the idea that our brains contain a picture-like representation of the scene that is everywhere detailed and coherent. How then do we represent a scene? It is argued here that focused attention provides spatiotemporal coherence for the stable representation of one object at a time. It is then argued that the allocation of attention can be co-ordinated to create a “virtual representation”. In such a scheme, a stable object representation is formed...

TL;DR: This study proposes an implementation of the digital twin approach as part of a wider cyber-physical system (CPS) to enable the optimisation of the planning and commissioning of human-based production processes using simulation-based approaches.
Abstract: Production systems empowered by digital simulation tools can be improved in a time and cost-effective approach. The enrichment of digital simulations with sensor data, can enhance their realism and...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a method to provide a user with an interactive virtual representation of a geographic location expressed to the user through a three-dimensional or a two-dimensional representation and combination thereof generated by a system controlled by an operator.
Abstract: A method of the present invention provides a user with an interactive virtual representation of a geographic location expressed to the user through a three-dimensional or a two dimensional representations and combination thereof generated by a system controlled by an operator. The method creates an interactive virtual tour of the geographic location by correlating a two-dimensional map with a three-dimensional representation of an interactive model to allow the user to synchronously navigate through the two-dimensional map and the interactive model in different directions.

TL;DR: The relationship between the MP and the constituency in Britain has become more important in recent years, but the major changes that have occurred in the relationship since the late 1960s have not been matched by extensive scholarly study as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The British House of Commons has entered a period of substantial change, moving from a state of party cohesion and party leadership toward a more individualistic and active policy-making role. In this dynamic look at the British Parliament and its members, Philip Norton and David M. Wood highlight that change to more intensive constituency response and service on the part of individual members. Like members of the U.S. Congress, British Members of Parliament (MPs) are elected to represent geographical districts. The relationship between the MP and the constituency in Britain has become more important in recent years, but the major changes that have occurred in the relationship since the late 1960s have not been matched by extensive scholarly study. Some pathbreaking work has been done on the subject, but it remains overshadowed by the wealth of material focusing on MPs' activities within the legislative chambers at Westminster. This volume seeks to fill the gap by sketching and assessing the electoral significance of the MPs' constituency work and the broader political ramifications for the workings of the British Parliament. Its findings allow the MP to be seen in full. Norton and Wood argue that the constituency role has gained in importance in recent decades as MPs have become more career-oriented than their forerunners in mid-century. But a by-product of greater professionalism and careerism has been an expanded job description that may take MPs' time and energies away from playing a more effective role in helping to shape the broader policy alternatives for the United Kingdom.
