The availability of mathematical knowledge on the Web changes mathematical practices. In a study of professional mathematicians’ search behavior we identified ten behavioral patterns particular to mathematicians. In this paper, we present a set of design goals for mathematical search interfaces implied by these patterns and insights derived from them.

a r t i c l e i n f o The absence of parents for foster children in residential treatment undermines the known positive effects of parental visits during treatment on children's permanency. To date, little attention has been given to the scope and role of visitation by non-parental adults. This study utilized clinical data from a residential treatment center for children to examine the patterns...

With the continued growth and proliferation of Web services and Web based information systems, the volumes of user data have reached astronomical proportions. Analyzing such data using Web Usage Mining can help to determine the visiting interests or needs of the web user. This type of analysis involves the automatic discovery of meaningful patterns, which represents fine grained navigational be...

This paper is a survey of recent work in the field of web recommendation system for the benefit of research on the adaptability of information systems to the needs of the users. This issue is becoming increasingly important on the Web, as non-expert users are overwhelmed by the quantity of information available online, while commercial Web sites strive to add value to their services in order to...

In this paper, we propose a new version of the topological maps algorithm, which has been used to cluster web site visitors. These are characterized by partially redundant variables over time. In this version, we only consider the input vectors neurons that participate in the selection of the winning neuron in the map. In order to identify these neurons, we use a binary function. Subsequently, ...

This study analyzed the effects of noise levels and number of visitors on the behaviors of a mother puma and her daughter in a zoo environment with respect to the time of day. The study monitored visitation (noise and number) over two 1-week periods (4 weeks between periods) and frequency of various puma behaviors (videorecorded). The study analyzed videotaped behavior of the pumas based on the...
