As users continue to rely on online hotel reviews for making purchase decisions, the trend of posting deceptive reviews to heap praises and kudos is gradually becoming a wellestablished e-business malpractice. Conceivably, it is not trivial for users to distinguish between genuine and deceptive kudos in reviews. Hence, this paper identifies three linguistic cues that could offer telltale signs ...

Many online entrepreneurs do not realize that they may be held legally liable for keywords they select during their marketing campaigns, especially if they correspond to registered or famous trade marks. The present contribution highlights some of the most important aspects of the Google and eBay cases that illustrate this problem. The European Court of Justice has recently ruled that a search ...

This work discusses how the MPContribs framework in the Materials Project (MP) allows user-contributed data to be shown and analyzed alongside the core MP database. The Materials Project is a searchable database of electronic structure properties of over 65,000 bulk solid materials that is accessible through a web-based science-gateway. We describe the motivation for enabling user contributions...

A preamplifier having 500 electrons noise (rms) has been developed for the detection and location of single electrons in a CRID detector at the SLD. A single channel contains preamp, RC-CR shaper, gain adjustment, driver, and calibration circuitry. Noise and linearity measurements are presented.

This paper provides new approach for nonvolatile Memristor-based Content Addressable Memory MCAM cell using memristor with CMOS processing technology in order to get high speed read/write operations within high packing density and low power dissipation. The proposed cell uses only two memristors as a memory cell and CMOS controlling circuitry which uses latching to decrease time required for wr...

This paper analysed moral panics on the implementation of an ICT sector regulatory system called Consolidated ICT Regulatory Management System (CIRMS). The study focused on how the media reported on the events and opinions of stakeholders on the implementation of CIRMS for the ICT sector of Malawi. Media reports published between 2009 and 2012 were analysed using thematic analysis. The results ...

a r t i c l e i n f o Despite the increasing popularity of viral marketing, factors critical to such a new communication medium remain largely unknown. This paper examines one of the critical factors, namely Internet users' motivations to pass along online content. Conceptualizing the act of forwarding online content as a special case of a more general communication behavior, we identify four p...

In this supplementary material, we first present in detail on collecting our AADB dataset, in Section 2, and analyze the dataset w.r.t its aesthetics attributes in Section 3. Then we carry out the consistency analysis of the dataset in Section 4 to show the annotations are reliable that the raters have consistently labeled the images. Furthermore, in Section 6, we visually demonstrate the effec...

This paper introduces our development of a sales log system for IPTV systems. This log system records all events related to sales including registration of content, distribution contracts, customers' accesses to content, and payments. Billing is one of essential activities of any commercial organization. Our log system provides all necessary information for billing. Sales history and sales amou...
