120 words) A tidal wave of recent research purports to have discovered that higher-level states such as moods, action-capabilities, and categorical knowledge can literally and directly affect what we see. Are these truly effects on perception, or might some instead reflect influences on judgment, memory, or response bias? Here, we exploit an infamous art-historical reasoning error (the socalled...

Jointing is used in a wide variety of harsh environments ranging from coastal waters out to extreme deep water. A number of factors affect jointing product capabilities and features including: system types, cable types, regions of the world, geophysical issues, politics, and capabilities. While jointing has improved markedly in its long journey and is now quite mature and well-suited to perform...

SAS has a robust set of tools that provide business analysts many capabilities ranging from statistics and data mining to data integration and business intelligence. In the early years, prior to version 9, typical analysts would simply use the SAS programming language and write code to obtain the desired results. Support had two aspects: one from the systems administration team where the SAS so...

This paper reports on new agile approaches and methods for design modelling of collaborative networked enterprises, ranging from small manufacturing supply-chains to major public service organizations. Use-cases in selected fields have been implemented by agile modelling and holistic design of collaborative networking capabilities, and active knowledge architecture driven solutions. The active ...

NASA is developing a "tool box" that includes a number of advanced structural analysis computer codes which, taken together, represent the comprehensive fracture mechanics capability required to predict the onset of widespread fatigue damage. These structural analysis tools have complementary and specialized capabilities ranging from a finite-element-based stress-analysis code for twoand three-...

The ability to let a mobile device determine its location in an indoor environment supports the creation of a new range of mobile information system applications. The goal of my project is to complement the data networking capabilities of RF wireless LANs with accurate user location and tracking capabilities for user needed data prebuffering. I created a location based system enhancement for lo...

The EB-eye is a fast and efficient search engine that provides easy and uniform access to the biological data resources hosted at the EMBL-EBI. Currently, users can access information from more than 62 distinct datasets covering some 400 million entries. The data resources represented in the EB-eye include: nucleotide and protein sequences at both the genomic and proteomic levels, structures ra...

a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t In this paper, we show that the Fast broadcasting scheme (L.-S. Juhn and L.-M. Tseng, 1998 [4]), abbreviated the FBR scheme, is also suitable for heterogeneous clients of different communication capabilities although it is originally designed for homogeneous clients of the same bandwidth. Given α channels of total bandwidth α · b Mbps to deliver a video of ...

In order to develop and use shared libraries of problem-solving methods, it is of paramount importance to provide adequate descriptions of their capabilities and competence. Methods must be indexed and organized based on their capabilities so that they can be retrieved when their capability is adequate for the task at hand. This paper describes the approach taken in EXPECT for representing meth...

Gossip-based protocols are now acknowledged as a sound basis to implement collaborative high-bandwidth content dissemination: content location is disseminated through gossip, the actual contents being subsequently pulled. In this paper, we present HEAP, HEterogeneity-Aware Gossip Protocol, where nodes dynamically adjust their contribution to gossip dissemination according to their capabilities....
