This study intends to enhance the understanding of successive searches over multiple sessions by characterizing successive searches with a conceptual model, Multiple Information Seeking Episodes (MISE), validating MISE and supporting successive searches with a prototyped information system, PERsonalized and Successive Information Seeking Toolkit (PERSIST), whose requirements are derived from MI...

despite the fact that national parks and other protected areas are mostly adopting the sustainable development process, it was found that sustainability has yet to be perceived pragmatically in these areas. due to its process, this paper presents a monitoring framework approach to develop and implement indicators for sustainable tourism. to illustrate the application of the framework, a set of ...

We consider the nonparametric regression model with long memory data that are not necessarily Gaussian and provide an asymptotic expansion for the mean integrated squared error (MISE) of nonlinear wavelet-based mean regression function estimators. We show this MISE expansion, when the underlying mean regression function is only piecewise smooth, is the same as analogous expansion for the kernel...

nowadays in consequence of widespread changes of corporate governances, chairman of the board has more real authorities on company decisions and due to his significant role in board leadership, is under the pressure of performance expectations. however, these changers are not made as it deserves in iran and in spite of various effects of chairman leadership on board culture – especially team pr...

A nonparametric kernel density estimator for directional–linear data is introduced. The proposal is based on a product kernel accounting for the different nature of both (directional and linear) components of the random vector. Expressions for bias, variance and mean integrated square error (MISE) are derived, jointly with an asymptotic normality result for the proposed estimator. For some part...

Primary tasks for clinical directors are to disseminate information to colleagues, provide feedback to senior professional managers, and to play key roles in strategic planning and resource allocation in health services. These tasks are seen to reduce barriers between clinicians and management. The application of clinical directorates across healthcare organisations is inconsistent and ambiguou...

alain robbe-grillet nous offre une modalité très représentative de la mise en abyme. la mise en abyme est un procédé dans lequel un récit  est emboîté dans un autre récit. en effet, à la lecture des gommes, nous constatons qu’il a inclus l’histoire d’œdipe-roi et en a fait une intrigue policière. c’est donc à la lumière de cette micro histoire  que la tragédie grecque est démythifiée. la mise e...
