A critical issue for scientific investigators is ready access to the large volume of data generated by large scale supercomputer simulations and physical experiments. This paper describes the current status of a collaborative effort which focuses on managing data produced by climate modeling applications. The project is aimed at signifcantly improving the accessibility and ease of use of large ...

We employ hierarchical clustering, strategic diagrams, and network core–periphery analysis to assess visualise the intellectual progress of accessibility research within HCI in past two decades. The study quantifies explains development its thematic evolution based on 1,535 papers published at TACCESS, ASSETS, IJHCS, CHI their respective 3,470 author-assigned keywords. novelty this work is empl...

The study of e-consumer behavior is getting more attention in e-commerce related literature. Acknowledging the importance of e-commerce, this study aims to investigate the influence of e-service quality dimensions (efficiency, requirement fulfilment, accessibility, privacy and responsiveness) on customer satisfaction and customer loyalty as well as to understand the mediating effect of customer...

Accessibility constraints When dealing with anaphora resolution, anaphoric expressions are often considered to have access to a restricted set of discourse referents. The choice of the relevant discourse referent inside this set may depends on various kinds of information (morphosyntactic features, semantic features, salience. . . ). But theories that give a dynamic interpretation of language a...

RaptorX Property (http://raptorx2.uchicago.edu/StructurePropertyPred/predict/) is a web server predicting structure property of a protein sequence without using any templates. It outperforms other servers, especially for proteins without close homologs in PDB or with very sparse sequence profile (i.e. carries little evolutionary information). This server employs a powerful in-house deep learnin...

The assignment of grammatical functions has been a key feature of hierarchical (serial) models of speech production since their inception in the 1970s. This article argues that grammatical function assignment is neither sufficient nor necessary in such models. It reports a study of the effects of the conceptual accessibility of referents on the selection of English dative syntactic frames in pr...

In two experiments, the locus of individual differences in working memory capacity and long-term memory recall was examined. Participants performed categorical cued and free recall tasks, and individual differences in the dynamics of recall were interpreted in terms of a hierarchical-search framework. The results from this study are in accordance with recent theorizing suggesting a strong relat...

We treat in this paper two linked subjects underlying virtual environment description: topological abstraction, and the way its precomputed data can be accessed by autonomous agents. The topological abstraction we propose is composed of three hierarchical layers, the first being the subdivision cells graph, and the two others being successive groupings. Then, we highlight some preprocesses comp...

The unique physical constraints of mobile devices pose significant usability and accessibility challenges, especially to people with vision deficiencies. Adapting existing website content to improve usability and accessibility has become an important issue. This research aims to reduce the difficulties encountered by mobile web users with an integrative adaptation approach, called PRECMAS, impl...
