This paper describes a new hybrid term extraction technique for technical corpora. Our maingoal is to reduce the amount of noise in the list of candidate terms by restricting the lexicalitems that can appear inside candidate terms. In order to do so, we base our term extractionprocess on lexical items selected by a statistical test that targets items that are highly specificto t...

Short term memory is famously limited in capacity to Miller's (1956) magic number 7±2-or, in many more recent studies, about 4±1 "chunks" of information. But the definition of "chunk" in this context has never been clear, referring only to a set of items that are treated collectively as a single unit. We propose a new more quantitatively precise conception of chunk derived from the notion of Ko...

Medium-term modeling of electricity market has essential role in generation expansion planning. On the other hand, uncertainties strongly affect modeling and consequently, strategic analysis of generation firms in the medium term. Therefore, models considering these uncertainties are highly required. Among uncertain variables considered in the medium term generation planning, demand and hyd...

Business information systems provide computer support for decision making across huge data sets. Smart Items are miniaturized computer and sensing systems embedded into physical goods, items and assets. This paper proposes collaborative Smart Items for pushing business relevant computing as close as possible into the real world. Collaboration is enabled through an auction-based negotiation mech...

Here, we aimed to determine the capacity of human short-term memory for allocentric spatial information in a real-world setting. Young adults were tested on their ability to learn, on a trial-unique basis, and remember over a 1-min interval the location(s) of 1, 3, 5, or 7 illuminating pads, among 23 pads distributed in a 4m×4m arena surrounded by curtains on three sides. Participants had to wa...

BACKGROUND For people to be able to access, understand, and benefit from the increasing digitalization of health services, it is critical that services are provided in a way that meets the user's needs, resources, and competence. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to develop a questionnaire that captures the 7-dimensional eHealth Literacy Framework (eHLF). METHODS Draft items were cre...

This data article provides detailed optimization input and output datasets and optimization code for the published research work titled "Dynamic green supplier selection and order allocation with quantity discounts and varying supplier availability" (Hamdan and Cheaitou, 2017, In press) [1]. Researchers may use these datasets as a baseline for future comparison and extensive analysis of the gre...

Most Fortune 500 companies have succession planning processes that have been in place for a number of years. Most Fortune 500 companies report concern over the lack of bench strength in their companies. They are very worried that they lack sufficient “ready now” candidates to replace planned & unplanned losses of key leaders. As a result, the future continuity and performance of the business is...

BACKGROUND Over the past decade there has been a growing body of literature on how the Systematised Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT) can be implemented and used in different clinical settings. Yet, for those charged with incorporating SNOMED CT into their organisation's clinical applications and vocabulary systems, there are few detailed encoding instructions and examples ava...

■ Several recent behavioral studies have shown that the enumeration of a small number of items (a process termed subitizing) depends on the availability of attentional resources and is not a preattentive process as previously thought. Here we studied the neural correlates of visual enumeration under different attentional loads in a dual-task paradigm using fMRI. Relatively intact subitizing und...
