As a result of the author’s need for help in finding a given name for the unborn baby, the Nameling1, a search engine for given names, based on data from the “Social Web” was born. Within less than six months, more than 35,000 users accessed Nameling with more than 300,000 search requests, underpinning the relevance of the underlying research questions. The present work proposes a new approach ...

Different names may be popular in different countries. Hence, person names may give a clue to a person’s country of origin. Along with other features, mapping names to countries can be helpful in a variety of applications such as country tagging twitter users. This paper describes the collection of Arabic Twitter user names that are either written in Arabic or transliterated into Latin characte...

Identifier names are the principal means of recording and communicating ideas in source code and are a significant source of information for software developers and maintainers, and the tools that support their work. This research aims to increase understanding of identifier name content types — words, abbreviations, etc. — and phrasal structures — noun phrases, verb phrases, etc. — by improvin...

In the 90s, a remarkable number of manuscripts were found in Northern Afghanistan, including economic documents, legal documents, and letters, which have become an important resource for academic studies. This paper aims to investigate the Bactrian pantheon as reflected in the economic documents of this collection. At first, these economic documents and the pantheon mentioned in them are introd...

Event-Related Potential (ERP) studies using delayed match-to-sample tasks have demonstrated the presence of two components, N270 and N400, possibly reflecting the sequential processing of multiple sources of endogenous mismatch. To date, studies have only investigated secondary sources of mismatch between a single cue and target. In this study, we used distractor stimuli to investigate the effe...

BACKGROUND While trying to integrate multiple data sets collected by different researchers, we noticed that the sample names were frequently entered inconsistently. Most of the variations appeared to involve punctuation, white space, or their absence, at the juncture between alphabetic and numeric portions of the cell line name. RESULTS Reasoning that the variant names could be described in t...

A common convention for writing names (identifiers) in mathematical formulas makes poor use of the real estate on the page occupied by those names. Here is a design principle for using space more efficiently. The choice of a suitable notation is a vital part of designing clear and convincing presentations of scientific material. Good notation is precise, concise , and suggestive; poor notation ...
