Sledge dogs are still widely used as draught animals on polar expeditions despite the increasing use of mechanical transport. They live and thrive whilst kept continuously out of doors in all but the most extreme conditions. At the bases they are fed on a diet of seal or other raw meat, but during sledging journeys, when fresh meat may not be available, all dog food must be carried on the sledg...

Collaborative Web Search (CWS) proposes a case-based approach to personalizing search results for the needs of a community of like-minded searchers. The search activities of users are captured as a case base of search cases, each corresponding to community search behaviour (the results selected) for a given query. When responding to a new query, CWS selects a set of similar cases and promotes t...

"PERMISSION TO REPRODUCE THIS MATERIAL HAS BEEN GRANTED BY TO THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER (ERIC)." In two experiments, subjects haptically examined braille symbols and judged tne number of dots each contained. Subjects who were informed as each symbol was presented during the study interval about the number of dots it contained (Prompting Condition) were more accurate (in Exper...

In sentiment analysis of reviews we focus on classifying the polarity (positive, negative) of conveyed opinions from the perspective of textual evidence. Most of the work in the field has been intensively applied on the English language and only few experiments have explored other languages. In this paper, we present a supervised classification of French movie reviews where sentiment analysis i...

Application of computational linguistics, i.e., language translation by computer, has been proposed as a means of producing readable translations of technical English-to-Vietnamese. This report is about an experimental study of the readability of translations that could be used for training or equipment maintenance. The experiments involved assessing the readability of Vietnamese that had been ...

When crystalline 20-methylcholanthrene (MC) and the cells of tar-induced mouse papillomas (paps.) are injected together into the thigh muscles of mice the carcinogen exerts a marked promoting and chemotactic influence upon the cells while it is dissolving in the tissue fluid. Under such circumstances it strongly stimulates and attracts them, with result they surround and include the scattered c...

− The building of remote laboratories for laboratory experiments in mobile robots requires expertise in a number of different disciplines, such as Internet programming, telematic and mechatronic systems, etc. Remote laboratories offer students access to complementary experiments, not available at their own university, as support to lectures. An intuitive user interface is required for inexperie...

3X, which stands for eXecuting eXploratory eXperiments, is a software tool to ease the burden of conducting computational experiments. 3X provides a standard yet configurable structure to execute a wide variety of experiments in a systematic way. 3X organizes the code, inputs, and outputs for an experiment, records results, and lets users visualize result data in a variety of ways. Its interfac...

Our intention is to present Q. Majorana (1871–1957) further documents, experimental manuscripts and results on the hypothetical physical effect of gravitational absorption. Majorana carried out his experiments thanks to two main apparata, the first at the Polytechnic of Turin (1918-1919; 1919-1921), the second at the Institute of Physics of Bologna University (1922-1924). A comparison of the re...
