“Clusters” or “communities”? Analysing the spatial agglomeration of video game companies in Australia

In this paper, I question whether agglomerations of video game companies in Australia function as clusters (spatially bound) or rather as communities (not spatially bound). The two case studies included in the analysis are the main agglomerations of video companies in Australia—Brisbane and Melbourne. The data have been collected through 21 semi-structured interviews performed between 2012 and 2014. The main findings are as follows: (1) the primary reason that video game companies come together is to share tacit knowledge and skilled labour; (2) these agglomerations do not have the attributes of “creative clusters”; and (3) new technologies enable experienced game developers to operate at the geographic periphery of the main agglomeration of developers. Therefore, to paint a more accurate picture of why some video game companies are successful—beyond simply positive externalities associated with co-localization—I propose the term “networked communities.” This recognizes that social networks at varying scales (local, national, international) are being developed by video game firms in order to thrive and reach a global audience.     

深空探测科学仪器研究进展

深空探测是对宇宙中地球以外的行星、卫星、小行星和彗星等星体或空间环境的探测活动.合理选择深空探测科学仪器,了解被测星体的物理及化学性质、地表地貌、动态特性以及有机物和水的存在,对人类了解地外水和生命信息、认识太阳系的起源和演化有着重要意义,是深空探测的重要任务.本文总结了深空探测的科学目标,介绍了近50年来典型深空探测任务中探测器所搭载的科学仪器及其特点,包括质谱仪、光谱仪、探地雷达和磁力计等,整理了其性能参数及面向的探测功能任务,最后讨论了深空探测科学仪器目前呈现出的小型化、低功耗、更强的环境适应能力和多仪器联合使用的发展趋势.     

Integration of Sparse Geologic Information in Gold Targeting Using Logistic Regression Analysis in the Hutti–Maski Schist Belt,Raichur, Karnataka,India—A Case Study

Logistic regression has been used in the study to integrate indicator patterns for estimation of the probability of occurrence of gold deposits in a part of the auriferous Archaean Hutti–Maski schist belt. Data used consist of categorical and continuous variables obtained from a coded lineament map and geochemical anomaly maps of the pathfinder elements of gold in soil and groundwater. Main effects and interactions of the variables studied were used in formulating the logistic regression model. Regression models using lineament-proximity data, combined with soil and groundwater geochemical anomalies were tested on parts of the schist belt with data not used in estimation of model parameters. Predicted probabilities greater than 0.9 identified known deposit locations in the area.
