Retailers regularly target users with online ads based on their web browsing activity, benefiting both the retailers, who can better reach potential customers, and content providers, who can increase ad revenue by displaying more e↵ective ads. The e↵ectiveness of such ads relies on third-party brokers that maintain detailed user information, prompting privacy legislation such as “do-not-track” ...

Conversations are a basic unit of analysis in studies of human interaction. These units are conventionally distinguished by reference to the set of ratified participants who take part, often by appeal to their physical proximity/orientation. We show that within such conversational units there are distinct dialogue contexts which are more fine-grained than this. We present experimental evidence ...

Presence Information Data Format (PIDF) defines a common presence data format for Common Profile for Presence (CPP) compliant presence protocols.

The current multi-stakeholder process to define the Do Not Track standard has considered inputs from many parties, including browser vendors, network advertisers, privacy researchers, and the government. However, we feel that average users, the millions of people who will be directly affected by a Do Not Track standard, have been underrepresented. These are the users whose information is collec...

Scarabaeinae specimens were collected with the use of pitfall traps baited with human excrement, rotten meat and rotting banana, between May 2009 and April 2010, in three forest fragments in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil: 'Morro do Elefante' (MOEL), 'Morro do Cerrito' (MOCE) and 'Campus da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria' (UFSM). A total of 19,699 individuals belonging to 33 specie...

The susceptibility of Aedes aegypti to temefos was evaluated by means of samples of eggs and larvae from four large counties in the state of Ceará (Fortaleza, Barbalha, Juazeiro do Norte and Crato). The technique standardized by the World Health Organization for tests with larvicides was used. The CL50 of eight samples from populations of Aedes was determined, as were their respective resistanc...

Arrays of polymer films embedded with conductive or resistive material have attracted significant attention as “electronic noses”. Sorption of a vapor into the polymer films causes physical swelling, which leads to a change in the DC electrical resistance of the film. Like the receptors of the mammalian olfactory system, each polymer-based detector responds to more than one analyte and each ana...
