(1) can be uttered as part of a ”strategy of inquiry” (Roberts 1998, 4) where it is under discussion what members of a contextually given set of people wanted to see. It reports on Sandy’s wishes as opposed to those of the other members of the set. The felicity of this sentence under these circumstances can be made to follow from the assumption that the content of What Sandy wanted to see is th...

In this paper we aim to model the relationship between the text of a political blog post and the comment volume—that is, the total amount of response—that a post will receive. We seek to accurately identify which posts will attract a high-volume response, and also to gain insight about the community of readers and their interests. We design and evaluate variations on a latentvariable topic mode...

This paper considers some preliminary evidence about environmental disclosures of Australian gold/copper mining companies with interests in PNG, Indonesia, or both. First, comment is made about the possible importance of the content of annual reports to stakeholders. Second, a framework of expectations about annual report disclosures of multinationals is developed. Third, the technique of conte...

We show that the Comment of Albert et al. [Opt. Lett. 31, 2990 (2006)], although being only marginally relevant to the content of the original paper [Opt. Lett. 31, 1456 (2006)], misinterprets our results and leads to a wrong conclusion: that the rotation of the second crystal in the double-crystal scheme is unimportant. On the contrary, it follows from the Comment itself as well as from our ex...

Creating, placing, and characterizing social media comments and reactions is a challenging problem. This is particularly true for reddit.com, a highly trafficked social media website with thousands of posts per day. Each post has an associated comment thread, and users of Reddit can vote the comments up or down, generating a net score, or ”Karma,” for each comment. Users aspire to collect this ...

In jaggery making furnaces, sugarcane bagasse is used as fuel. Moisture content of bagasse affects its calorific value. So burning of bagasse at suitable level of moisture is essential from the viewpoint of furnace performance. Moisture content can also be used for indirect calculation of fibre content in sugarcane. Normally gravimetric method is used for moisture content determination, which i...

Researchers are beginning to explore how to generate summaries of extended argumentative conversations in social media, such as those found in reader comments in on-line news. To date, however, there has been little discussion of what these summaries should be like and a lack of humanauthored exemplars, quite likely because writing summaries of this kind of interchange is so difficult. In this ...
