Scholars writing books that are widely used to support teaching in higher education may be undervalued due to a lack of evidence of teaching value. Whilst sales data may give credible evidence for textbooks, it may poorly reflect educational uses of other types of books. As an alternative, this article proposes a method to automatically search for mentions of books in online academic course syl...

We construct sphaleron solutions with discrete symmetries in Yang-Mills-Higgs theory coupled to a dilaton. Related to rational maps of degree N , these platonic sphalerons can be assigned a Chern-Simons number Q = N/2. We present sphaleron solutions with degree N = 1−4, possessing spherical, axial, tetrahedral and cubic symmetry. For all these sphalerons two branches of solutions exist, which b...

Automatic acquisition of inference rules for predicates has been commonly addressed by computing distributional similarity between vectors of argument words, operating at the word space level. A recent line of work, which addresses context sensitivity of rules, represented contexts in a latent topic space and computed similarity over topic vectors. We propose a novel two-level model, which comp...

This paper describes TM/XML, an XML syntax for Topic Maps that is very close to the natural, or colloquial, XML representation of the information in the topic map. It can be used to process Topic Maps data with XML tools, and integrate non-Topic Maps systems with Topic

For real projective spaces, (a) the Euclidean immersion dimension, (b) the existence of axial maps, and (c) the topological complexity are known to be three facets of the same problem. This paper describes the corresponding relationship between the symmetrized versions of (b) and (c) to the Euclidean embedding dimension of projective spaces. Extensions to the case of 2e torsion lens spaces and ...

A teacher must consider many details when planning and organizing a course. This paper shows how the new Topic Map computer technology can help in this process. The developed Topic Map for the CS knowledge domain is used for the analysis of introductory CS courses, but it can be also applied to other courses, including in noncomputer disciplines. Well-structured Topic Maps may become a solid ba...
