Number of Papers published in peer-reviewed journals: Photon-Limited Information in High Resolution Laser Ranging Final Report Report Title This project is an effort under the Information in a Photon (InPho) program at DARPA\DSO. Its purpose is to investigate experimentally and theoretically the fundamental physical and information theoretic limits to laser ranging and imaging using bits of inf...

Peer involvement has been supporting people experiencing mental health and other psychosocial problems for over a hundred years. As the influence of peers increases in primary secondary care as well within organisations, there is need to evaluate effectiveness using deliver support range conditions. This paper reviews emergence peer from United Kingdom’s social welfare American justice movement...

METHODS Participants (N = 176) were randomly assigned to read a vignette of an overweight peer in one of three conditions, which varied in the explanatory information provided for the aetiology of the peer's overweight conditio...

We examined the influence of accountability on the consistency of peer ratings and quality of peer feedback by comparing three conditions: only rating accountability, only feedback accountability, or both rating and feedback accountability. From a large undergraduate course, 287 students’ peer ratings and peer feedback were coded for rating consistency, comment helpfulness, amount of feedback, ...

The early peer-to-peer applications eschewed commercial arrangements and instead established a grass-roots model in which the collection of end-users provided their own distributed computational infrastructure. While this cooperative end-user approach works well in many application settings, it does not provide a sufficiently stable platform for certain peer-to-peer applications (e.g., DHTs as ...

In 1998, the Canadian government introduced a new child tax credit. The innovation in the program was its integrationwith social assistance (welfare). Some provinces agreed to subtract the new federally-paid benefits from provincially-paid social assistance, partially lowering the welfare wall. Other provinces did not integrate benefits, providing a quasi-experimental framework for estimation. ...

This paper delivers a case study on the properties of metadata provided by a folksonomy. We provide the background about folksonomies and discuss to which extend the process of creating meta-data in a folksonomy is related to the idea of emergent semantics as defined by the IFIP 2.6 Working Group on Data Semantics. We conduct experiments to analyse the meta-data provided by the del.icio.us folk...
