This study investigates the effectiveness of metadata on websites. Specifically, the study investigated whether the extent of metadata use by a site influences the Web Impact Factor (WIF) of the site. The WIF is a Webometric measure of the recognition that a site has on the web. WIFs were calculated for two classes of sites: electronic journals and NZ University Web Sites. The most positive cor...

We describe an event-related potential (ERP) effect termed the "pre-activation negativity" (PrAN), which is proposed to index the degree of pre-activation of upcoming word-internal morphemes in speech processing. Using lexical competition measures based on word-initial speech fragments (WIFs), as well as statistical analyses of ERP data from three experiments, it is shown that the PrAN is sensi...

For many applications (e.g., disaster management, precision farming), it is required to monitor events using multi-date satellite imagery acquired over the same area. This requirement can be best met with a set of satellites whose radiometric characteristics are fully modelled. Even though there is a gamut of satellites with identical or near-identical radiometric characteristics, systematic di...

Since 1996, hyperlinks have been studied extensively by applying existing bibliometric methods. The Web impact factor (WIF), for example, is the online counterpart of the journal impact factor. This paper reviews how this linkbased metric has been developed, enhanced and applied. Not only has the metric itself undergone improvement but also the relevant data collection techniques have been enha...

The aim of the study presented herein is to use multisensor / multi-channel satellite images to compute meso-scale surface currents in the Northern and Central Baltic Proper. The images were acquired by the Thematic Mapper (TM) aboard Landsat, the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) aboard ERS-2, the Wide-Field Scanner (WiFS) aboard the IRS satellites, and the Seaviewing Wide Field-of-View Sensor (S...
