No Place, New Places: Death and its Rituals in Urban Asia
Urban Studies, 2011 In many land-scarce Asian cities, planning agencies have sought to reduce space for the dead to release land for the living, encouraging conversion from burial to cremation over several decades. This has caused secular principles privileging efficient land use to conflict with symbolic values invested in burial spaces.

Multisensory Omni-directional Long-term Place Recognition: Benchmark Dataset and Analysis [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Recognizing a previously visited place, also known as place recognition (or loop closure detection) is the key towards fully autonomous mobile robots and self-driving vehicle navigation. Augmented with various Simultaneous Localization and Mapping techniques (SLAM), loop closure detection allows for incremental pose correction and can bolster efficient

Node and Place, a study on the spatial process of railway terminus area redevelopment in central London [PDF]
, 2003 Bertolini and Spit (1998) have argued that any significant transport node should ideally also be a significant place in the city. However, this rarely seems to be the case, and the resolution of this disparity, which they refer to as the 'node-place ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.In this study, Merkoçi and his research group present a polymer‐based synthesis to enhance the stability of Prussian blue (PB) nanoparticles. The resulting PB‐infused catalytic hetero‐interface architecture (PB‐CHIA) achieves complete two‐dimensional (2D) and three‐dimensional (3D) substrate coverage (glassy carbon and laser‐induced graphene electrodes)

Unsupervised Place Discovery for Place-Specific Change Classifier [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 In this study, we address the problem of supervised change detection for robotic map learning applications, in which the aim is to train a place-specific change classifier (e.g., support vector machine (SVM)) to predict changes from a robot's view image.
