We give a fast algorithm for computing the canonical basis of an irreducible highest-weight module for Uq(ŝle), generalising the LLT algorithm.

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of a problem-based hypermedia learning environment on sixth graders’ performance and attitudes. We were interested in finding the ways hypermedia technology could be used as cognitive tools to share the responsibilities of teachers to provide necessary scaffolding to support students’ learning in a problem-based learning (PBL) environment. Of ...

In recent years, research on IT usage has increasingly focused on post-adoption usage, rather than initial acceptance of a technology regarded as new. Consistent with this recent trend, we seek to understand what factors influence employees’ ongoing IT use and processes they rely on for expanding their knowledge and skills within organizational workgroups. Based on recommendations by Jasperson,...

A segmentation algorithm based on the Jensen-Shannon entropic divergence is used to decompose longrange correlated DNA sequences into statistically significant, compositionally homogeneous patches. By adequately setting the significance level for segmenting the sequence, the underlying power-law distribution of patch lengths can be revealed. Some of the identified DNA domains were uncorrelated,...

This paper describes an ongoing research work on developing methods for effective visualisation support for situation analysis, decision making, and communication in the course of disaster management. The major goals are to reduce the information load of the analyst, decision maker, or information recipient without omission of anything important and to ensure quick and accurate comprehending of...
