Summary: This study proposes XAVE, an asymmetric virtual environment that allows users on different devices and platforms to participate together. XAVE aims to provide a new experiential environment for immersive applications and contents. All users can easily interact with virtual environments, objects, and other users through a common interface that considers device characteristics. PC and mobile users interact through GUI-based inputs, VR users use controllers with head-mounted displays, and AR users interact through image targets and GUI on mobile devices. Avatar users using motion capture are also considered to construct asymmetric virtual environments for various metaverse and immersive content fields. Furthermore, an application is created for all users to participate and experience together, and user satisfaction with the interface and presence in the virtual environment is statistically analyzed and examined through surveys.

Summary: Ocean modeling and simulation play a crucial role in understanding dynamic processes in the geophysical system, with the simulation of tidal dynamics being particularly significant. This paper introduces a new longitude-latitude spherical grid coupled with rotated coordinate mapping to address existing problems in global ocean modeling, demonstrating the model's ability to support tidal dynamics simulation in the global ocean. The proposed model utilizes a finite volume method on staggered C grid for spatial approximation and third-order Adams-Bashforth method for temporal integration, showing promising results for simulating two-dimensional tidal waves in the Arctic Ocean and beyond.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns have severely impacted global trade, with different economies experiencing varying degrees of damage and recovery rates. This research evaluates the spatio-temporal vulnerabilities of international trade networks during the current crisis to understand global production resilience and prepare for future crises. Analysis of pre- and post-COVID-19 outbreak trade networks at various scales reveals that countries with effective COVID-19 containment, such as East Asia (particularly Mainland China), and high-income countries with rapid vaccine roll-out (e.g., the U.S.) exhibit greater resilience, while low-income countries (e.g., Africa) show higher vulnerability. The findings emphasize the need for a comprehensive strategy to enhance international trade resilience, including non-pharmaceutical measures, timely vaccine development and distribution, strong governance, robust healthcare systems, and international cooperation.
