Hundreds, if not thousands, of organizations develop standards. While the methods they use might vary, I’ve found commonalities across the world of standardization. Creating standards is interesting and sometimes strange...

This paper reports an early result of an evaluation experiment of emotionally expressive characters for intercultural communication. The experiment was conducted as a series of discussions on a multilingual BBS with expressive characters between China and Japan. The result shows some characters and facial expressions used in the experiment were interpreted completely differently and used for di...

Given the incessant growth of documents describing the opinions of different people circulating on the web, including Web 2.0 has made it possible to give an opinion on any product in the net. In this paper, we examine the various opinions expressed in the tweets and classify them (positive, negative or neutral) by using the emoticons for the Bayesian method and adjectives and adverbs for the T...

We consider the effect of complex Higgs triplets on purely leptonic processes and survey the experimental constraints on the mass and couplings of their single and double charge members. Present day experiments tolerate values of the Yukawa couplings of these scalars at the level of the standard electroweak gauge couplings. We show that the proposed measurement of the ratio R LCD = σ(ν µ e)/[σ(...

The lack of sufficient water quality data in many places hinders the efforts of surface water quality modeling, and therefore affects the process of water quality management. In this paper, the potential of an object-oriented simulation environment for surface water quality management, based on the concepts of system dynamics (OO-SD), is discussed. The characteristics, along with a brief explan...

Let us fix positive real b. We investigate the expected distance to the power b between two identical general random processes (see Assumption 1). Namely, for r = o (
