The Art of Co-Creative Media: An Australian Survey by Spurgeon Christina

“…This article describes how - in the processes of responding to participatory storytelling practices - community, public service, and to a lesser extent, commercial media institutions are themselves negotiated and changed. Although there are significant variations in the conditions, durability, extent, motivations and quality of these developments and their impacts, they nonetheless increase the possibilities and pathways of participatory media culture. …”

A Normal Contact Stiffness Statistical Model of Joint Interface considering Hardness Changes by Donghua Yin, Xueliang Zhang, Shuhua Wen, Guosheng Lan, Yonghui Chen

“…., the deformation stage of an asperity is re-divided, and a normal contact stiffness model of joint interface is established by using a statistical theory. The simulation results show that the normal contact stiffness of joint interface is a nonlinear function of the mean surface separation and decreases with the increase of the mean surface separation under different plasticity indexes. …”
