JVTOS, the “Joint Viewing and Tele-Operation Service”, is an advanced teleservice allowing distributed users to work in a collaborative fashion with multimedia. JVTOS offers services for multimedia collaboration across high-speed networks and is primarily aimed at running in heterogeneous workstation environments comprising different hardware platforms and also different operating and window sy...

Many retailers often partner with one supplier in each product category, referred to as the “category captain”, and work closely with this supplier on consumer-centric, demand-enhancing initiatives within the store. While the promise of joint growth has spurred many such initiatives, some suppliers and retailers are unclear about the true returns from collaboration. Regulators, at times, are wo...

This paper proposes a way of using scenario planning within joint interdisciplinary research programs, i.e. where industry and academia collaborate on a set of projects, to create a common mental platform which improves the understanding and collaboration within the program, gives management support and in addition results in an appealing description of the research idea from different perspect...

This official FAO document is the result of the joint effort of many contributors. Its preparation was coordinated and the text of the draft document finalized by Andrea Sonnino, Senior Agricultural Research Officer in FAO's Research and Extension Division, in collaboration with John Ruane from the ABDC-10 Secretariat. Lead consultant for drafting of the document was Charles Spillane from the N...

We present a lattice computation of the first moment of the kaon's leading-twist distribution amplitude. We use ensembles with 2+1 dynamical flavours of domain wall fermions and the Iwasaki gauge action from the RBC and UKQCD joint dataset. We observe the expected chiral behaviour and obtain ξ (2 GeV) ≡ 3/5 a 1 K (2 GeV) = 0.032(3), which agrees very well with other results obtained using QCD s...

This paper describes the joint submission of Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya and Universitat de Barcelona to the Metrics MaTr 2010 evaluation challenge, in collaboration with ELDA/ELRA. Our work is aimed at widening the scope of current automatic evaluation measures from sentence to document level. Preliminary experiments, based on an extension of the metrics by Giménez and Màrquez (2009) ...

This article describes the S.H.A.R.E. model for collaborative programming that evolved from the joint Clarion, Edinboro, and Slippery Rock Universities graduate nursing programs. The five components of the model--students, administrative support, resources, educational technology, humor--are presented in relation to current organizational and leadership concepts that serve as their basis. The a...

This paper is dedicated to Gabriele Veneziano on his 65th birthday. Most of the results reported here are known results, due to Gabriele, or obtained in collaboration with him, or inspired by our joint work on string cosmology. A few new results are also presented concerning the duality invariance of a non-local dilaton coupling to the matter sources, and its possible cosmological applications ...

This article is an attempt to discuss the establishment of joint use libraries as something more than just administrative collaboration. It focuses on joint use solutions between public libraries and university college libraries. Normative institutionalism is used as a theoretical framework for the discussion, which draws from studies on and experiences of the establishment of two joint use lib...

Background The COVID-19 pandemic has brought interdisciplinary academics and research students many uncertainties challenges in adapting to new communication styles. Compared with other the same field, might face more transitioning from traditional face-to-face virtual communication. Objective This study aimed explore pain joy of using Western Chinese localized channels experienced ( N = 10) yo...
