The abstract should be a single paragraph in block format (without paragraph indentation) and should not exceed 120 words. See section 1.07 of the APA manual (American Psychological Association [APA], 2001) for additional information. The abstract is simply a summary of the paper. One trick in writing the abstract is to write one summary sentence for each major part of the paper. Then you will ...

Second, because the spiral model is based upon evolutionary software development, the spiral model expects and plans for a specific number of iterations[1] whereas one of the limitations of the iterative model is that it is impossible to know when you have reached the best solution[2]. With that said, the spiral model is also capable of supporting further iterations after the original planned i...

Methods: First, we constructed a questionnaire based on the descriptors collected from various sources in order to elicit university teachers’ views on the importance of these descriptors. A revised version was produced based on the feedback from the initial questionnaire survey. In order to further investigate what level or levels these remaining descriptors would fall into, 35 university teac...

In this paper we briefly review the recently inrtroduced Multifractal Random Walk (MRW) that is able to reproduce most of recent empirical findings concerning financial time-series : no correlation between price variations, long-range volatility correlations and multifractal statistics. We then focus on its extension to a multivariate context in order to model portfolio behavior. Empirical esti...

Discourse incoherence is an important and typical problem with multi-document extractive summaries. To address this issue, we have developed a schema-based summarization approach for query-based blog summaries that utilizes discourse structures. In our schema design, we tried to model discourse structures which are typically used by humans in their summary writing in response to a particular qu...
