We examine localised sound energy patterns, or events, that we associate with high level affect experienced with films. The study of sound energy events in conjunction with their intended affect enable the analysis of film at a higher conceptual level, such as genre. The various affect/emotional responses we investigate in this paper are brought about by well established patterns of sound energ...

The participation of the REINA Research Group in WebCLEF 2005 is focused in the monolingual mixed task. Queries or topics are of two types: named and home pages. For both, we rst perform a search by thematic contents; for the same query, we do a search in several elements of information from every page (title, some meta tags, text of backlinks) and then we combine the results. For queries about...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of given-new ordering on word order change and topic marker WA, using a self-paced reading task. The results demonstrated that OACCSNOMV is sensitive to given-new information, but SNOMOACCV, STOPOACCV, and OTOPSNOMV are not. This fact can be explained by the Markedness Principle for Discourse Rule Violation (Kuno, 1987: 212): both SNOMOA...

Worldwide urbanization has significantly changed the landscape in recent decades, which resulted in an urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon. This study quantitatively analyzed the spatiotemporal changes of the urban heat island (UHI) of Zhangzhou estuary city of China, in the context of urbanisation using Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) and Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) thermal images acquire...

The network of excellence HUMAINE is currently making a co-ordinated, interdisciplinary effort to develop a consistent view on emotion-oriented computing. This overview paper proposes a “map” of the research area, distinguishing core technologies from applicationoriented and psychologically oriented work. First results from the ongoing research in the thematic workpackages are reported.

BACKGROUND The inclusion of qualitative studies in systematic reviews poses methodological challenges. This paper presents worked examples of two methods of data synthesis (textual narrative and thematic), used in relation to one review, with the aim of enabling researchers to consider the strength of different approaches. METHODS A systematic review of lay perspectives of infant size and gro...
