This paper describes the collaborative participation of Trinity College Dublin and Dublin City University in the Log Analysis for Digital Societies (LADS) task of LogCLEF 2009 track. An analysis of multilingual search logs was carried out with the objectives of investigating how users from different linguistic or cultural backgrounds behave in search, and how the discovery of patterns in user a...

Descriptions of four proposals submitted to eRENA by three artists. These proposals form a basis for activities in eRENA years 2 and 3, especially in the “open” Work Package 7. In the proposals links with and aesthetic expressions of the themes in work packages 4, 5 and 6 have also been considered and promoted. The proposals strongly connect to the production themes of work package 4, the crowd...

The study of Hamiltonian graphs began with Dirac’s classic result in 1952. This was followed by that of Ore in 1960. In 1984 Fan generalized both these results with the following result: If G is a 2-connected graph of order n and max{d(u), d(v)}≥n/2 for each pair of vertices u and v with distance d(u, v)=2, then G is Hamiltonian. In 1991 Faudree–Gould–Jacobson–Lesnick proved that if G is a 2-co...

When introducing the metadata standard LOM, objectives such as the ability to find or to reuse learning objects were followed. These objectives are actually achieved in LOM only to a limited degree, despite the designation as de-facto standard for description of electronic learning content: Based on the complexity of the standard a high theoretical potential faces rejection in practice. One rea...

Athlete burnout has been a concern to sport organizations, the media, and researchers because of its association with negative welfare and performance outcomes (Gould, Udry, Tuffey, & Loehr, 1996; Smith, 1986). Conclusions drawn in existing cross-sectional studies (e.g., Cresswell & Eklund, 2006c; Gould, Tuffey, Udry, & Loehr, 1996) are limited because they are not based on data sensitive to th...

The Social Web Cockpit integrates different services that have been developed in the Social Web research programme at GMD-FIT to support a knowledge sharing community. This includes a web-search based on recommendations, a concept index to develop a community vocabulary, shared workspaces for knowledge sharing, and an

Nevertheless humans are trained to extract the specific featur...

(Nov/03 draft, forthcoming in " Pacific Philosophical Quarterly " , comments to [email protected]) abstract In this paper I argue that questions about the semantics of rigid designation are commonly and illicitly run together with distinct issues, such as questions about the metaphysics of essence and questions about the theoretical legitimacy of the possible-worlds framework. I discuss in depth t...

Consumers are very concerned in "Protected Designation of Origin" (PDO) products, namely meat, since they associate these products to quality and healthy foods. Thus, it is necessary to implement analytical methodologies that could assure consumers about the products they purchase. Since this kind of meat is usually sold with no information concerning cattle sex, age and slaughter season, these...

Increasing to dependency on information infrastructures involves various threats to cyber incidents. Most of nations or organizations work on protect to not only infrastructure but also information infrastructure. Korea established Critical Information Infrastructure Protection Act in 2001 that include 5 evaluation criteria for designation of National CII. This research makes a suggestion that ...
