Working time reductions (WTR) are a promising strategy to foster both environmental behaviour and individual well-being. It is unclear, however, whether these possible effects more likely due reduced income or discretionary time. Moreover, prior studies have only tested the of WTR cross-sectionally, well-being including wage compensations. We conducted longitudinal three-wave study with Swiss e...

Extraction and validation of multiword expressions (MWEs) thanks to association measures is a very common method. Researchers use it for extraction of MWEs of different lengths or different syntactic structures. However, we never wonder if the association measures collected on an MWE with one particular structure (e.g. Verb-Preposition) is relevant for collecting an MWE with a different one (e....

to effectively design daylight in buildings, daylight availability data are necessary. although there is a great potential for daylight energy in iran, its use has been hampered by the absence of measured data. in this paper the illuminance data on the vertical south facing surfaces of tehran were estimated using the iesna model. for this propose an illuminance measuring set was used in order t...

Various visual cues provide information about depth and shape in a scene. When several of these cues are simultaneously available in a single location in the scene, the visual system attempts to combine them. In this paper, we discuss three key issues relevant to the experimental analysis of depth cue combination in human vision: cue promotion, dynamic weighting of cues, and robustness of cue c...

This paper aims at explaining how intermediaries influence collaborative innovation projects, suggesting a conceptual-theoretical framework about intermediaries’ roles and practices. The qualitative research was developed through the case study of the Orange Service Call and Reward project performed by the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts (NESTA) for Orange Labs, the R&D ...

The purpose of this study was to examine the relation between working memory span and syllogistic reasoning performance. In addition, performance for the reasoning task was compared to predictions made by mental model theory and the probability heuristics model. According to mental model theory, syllogisms that require the use of more mental models are more difficult. According to the probabili...
