Rhythm Action Games [RAG] are designed specially for musical and physical interaction. The experience of the RAG genre encourages each player have the ability to participate the virtual world in the game. No matter whether in RAG games or the KTV experience, we all share the human desire to extend our powers and, by coping with and adapting to the technology, escape from the reality of social structure and jump into the aesthetics of the screen imagery, the virtual world. As famous scholar, Jody Berland claims "The technical reconstruction is instrumental in the changing topography of social, cultural and political space."[7] Through the common cultural codings exchange in the practice of games, the aesthetic has been established and recognized. Just like singing in KTV, where the users share the collective aesthetic and cultural values through their interaction in the cubicles, here they share playing the games.
This study was to assess the metal contamination in oyster tissue grown in the Ann-ping mariculture ground in Taiwan. The information generated from this work also revealed general metal pollution problem for Taiwan's oyster farmers. Oysters, Crussosireu gigus, and surficial sediments collected from ten locations in Ann-ping mariculture ground in Taiwan for metals concentration (Cu, Zn, Pd, Cd, Fe and Mn) were performed. Analytical results indicated that the yearly averaged oyster copper concentrations (pg g-I , wet weight) in oyster soft parts from Ann-ping increased from to 43.9f23.1 pg g-', wet weight, in the 1996 raising season. The mean oyster copper concentration reached a level of 50pg g . I , wet weight, in December 1996. This increasing trend of metal concentration in oyster tissue indicates a potential pollution source which may pose a potential disaster as green oyster incidence, which occurred on the Charting coast in 1986, in Taiwan. Sediment samples in Ann-ping mariculture ground were also collected and examined. The seasonal variation of the copper concentration in surficial sediment from Ann-ping did not show an increasing trend as observed in oyster tissue.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
