I review theories and research on the cognitive processing of environmental distance information by humans, particularly that acquired via direct experience in the environment. The cognitive processes I consider for acquiring and thinking about environmental distance information include workingmemory, nonmediated, hybrid, and simple-retrieval processes. Based on my review of the research litera...

At the time the International Reading Association was created in 1956, the reading research community was poised at a new juncture in its history (Monaghan & Saul, 1987). The efforts of researchers during this period gave rise to extensive literature on learners and the learning process that remains an enduring legacy for the domain of reading. Yet, this was not the only period of significant c...

A global, model-independent search for high-pT exotic phenomena is presented using 927 pb of CDF II data. The search algorithms employed in this analysis are Vista and Sleuth. These proceedings focus on Vista, including a description of the method and a summary of results. PACS. 12.60.-i Models beyond the standard model

Let us envision a new class of IT systems, the “Support Systems for Knowledge Works” or SSKW. An SSKW can be defined as a system built for providing comprehensive support to human knowledge-workers while performing instances of complex knowledge-works of a particular type within a particular domain of professional activities. To get an idea what an SSKW-enabled work environment can be like, let...

En este trabajo presentamos el modelo de vistas definido para el modelo de datos orientado a objetos Chimera, comparándolo con las propuestas más relevantes de mecanismos de vistas orientadas a objetos. La comparación se organiza en tres dimensiones: i) el posicionamiento de una vista en el esquema existente, ii) la naturaleza de la extensión de una vista y iii) las actualizaciones sobre vistas...

Abstract: Microsoft Windows® next-generation client operating system, more commonly referred to as Windows Vista®, is enhancing the quality and fidelity of the desktop and notebook PC audio experience. Manufacturers must meet strict audio performance requirements1 in order to license the Windows Vista logo for component hardware. These requirements are based on audio performance specifications,...

a percepción computacional (percepción artificial) tiene la finalidad de la reproducción artificial (que engloba subsistemas no informáticos) del sentido de la vista. Se trata de un objetivo excepcionalmente ambicioso y complejo, que se encuentra actualmente en sus inicios, pero que avanza excesivamente rápido. Parece natural pensar que el objetivo de dotar a las máquinas del sentido de la vist...
