Objective – The present study was designed to compare online self-disclosure between Polish and Indonesian Facebook users. We expected that Need for Popularity (NfP), Collective Self-Esteem (CSE), perceived network size and diversity, as well as controlling accessibility, will influence online selfdisclosure in both countries. Furthermore, we examined the differences in privacy issues. Methodol...

OBJECTIVE To define a physician classification system based on practice settings and to analyze the service provision associated with those classifications. DESIGN A cross-sectional, retrospective study. SETTING Province of Quebec. PARTICIPANTS All GPs in Quebec in 2002 who had been practising for at least 2 years. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Practice setting variables were based on physician...

Recently the concept of hierarchical zeolites invoked more explicit attention to enhanced accessibility of zeolites. By realizing additional meso-/macroporosity with the intrinsic microporosity of zeolites, a hierarchical pore system arises which facilitates mass transport while maintaining the zeolite shape selectivity. A great number of synthesis strategies have been developed for tailoring t...

This paper presents the design and development of a visual computer system for the modelling and simulation of human movements. The interface allows human figure movements to be generated in a graphical and intuitive way, accomplishing human-computer interaction through 3D icons-graphics. In the implementation object oriented programming methodology is used. A hierarchical dependency between th...

conclusions geographic accessibility of pharmacies at night and on holidays has to be addressed by provincial health policymakers. materials and methods the analysis was based on straight-line distance measurements. we considered 150, 300, 450, 600, and 750 m for pedestrians, and 1, 2, and 3 km for driving accessibility as the acceptable distances. we calculated the number and percentage of hou...

Logistics Network Infrastructure (LNI) is an important area of Logistics Infrastructure Capability (LIC). The connotation of LNI is analyzed in this paper. Compared with the extensive research on LNI in developed world, empirical work is still rare in China. In this paper the theory of LNI is firstly overviewed. Then a new evaluation index system for LNI evaluation is set up which contains fact...

In this paper, we consider the problem of constructing abstractions of affine control systems that preserve reachability properties, and, in particular, local accessibility. In this framework, showing local accessibility of the higher level, abstracted model is equivalent to showing local accessibility of the, more detailed, lower level model. Given an affine control system and a smooth surject...

The volume, complexity, variability and accessibility of geospatial of digital geospatial data pose formidable challenges for the National Archives. Scientific and engineering communities faces many of the same challenges in managing large, complex digital data collections. This study examines gridded and vector geospatial data through the prism of scientific data management, with particular em...

This thesis documents research providing improvements in the field of accessibility modelling, which will be of particular interest as computing becomes increasingly ubiquitous. It is argued that a new approach is required that takes into account the dynamic relationship between users, their technology (both hardware and software) and any additional Assistive Technologies (ATs) that may be requ...
