Previous studies have proved that partial information transmission can be found between intensity and pitch. In our last study, it was demonstrated that the timbre attribute can be transmitted as partial information between timbre and intensity. We manipulated the two attributes of stimulus, namely, timbre (piano vs. violin) and pitch (high vs. low), to find out whether they also have partial i...

MST(c), a standard terminology for gastrointestinal endoscopy reporting, was integrated in the January 2002 UMLS Metathesaurus in order to ease the practical interoperability of clinical data repositories in gastroenterology. The integration required full specification of names, resolution of discrepancies between English, French and Italian versions of MST, appropriate categorization with UMLS...

This work aims at demonstrating the inherent advantages of embracing a strong notion of social embodiment in designing a real-world robot control architecture with explicit “intelligent” social behaviour between a collective of robots. It develops the current thinking on embodiment beyond the physical by demonstrating the importance of social embodiment. A social framework develops the fundamen...

Maintaining a healthy ecosystem is essential for maximizing sustainable ecological services of the best quality to human beings. Ecological and conservation research has provided a strong scientific background on identifying ecological health indicators and correspondingly making effective conservation plans. At the same time, ecologists have asserted a strong need for spatially explicit and te...

Recommender system is a promising technology for companies to present personalised offers to their customers. But this technology suffers from sparsity problem. In addition, most researches are based on explicit rating. But most users do not spend time for rating of products. Therefore, this research proposes an effective recommendation based on user behaviour. Since users express their opinion...

Powerholders may engage in two stereotyping processes: (a) by default, inattention to stereotype-inconsistent information, due to lack of dependency, and (b) by design, effortful attention to stereotype-consistent information, due to explicit control. Study 1 manipulated control (not dependency) over internship applicants; powerful decision-makers increased attention to stereotypic attributes, ...

Many applications see huge demands for discovering relevant patterns in dynamic attributed graphs, for instance in the context of social interaction analysis. It is often possible to associate a hierarchy on the attributes related to graph vertices to explicit prior knowledge. For example, considering the study of scientific collaboration networks, conference venues and journals can be grouped ...

Web extraction is the task of turning unstructured HTML into structured data. Previous approaches rely exclusively on detecting repeated structures in result pages. These approaches trade intensive user interaction for precision. In this paper, we introduce the Amber (“Adaptable Model-based Extraction of Result Pages”) system that replaces the human interaction with a domain ontology applicable...
