The World Wide Web has emerged as a powerful tool to enhance navigation and communication over the Internet. Within the past few years, numerous Web-based digital reference services have been established by libraries. The goal of this study is to identify user needs as reflected in the queries they submit to these services. The study is user-centered and seeks to evaluate digital reference serv...

Digital Object Prototypes (DOPs) provide the DL designer with the ability to model diverse types of digital objects in a uniform manner while offering digital object type conformance; objects conform to the designer’s type definitions automatically. In this paper, we outline how DOPs effectively capture and express digital object typing information and finally assist in the development of unifi...

In this paper, the authors present an improved Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm (ABC) for the object recognition problem in complex digital images. The ABC is a new metaheuristics approach inspired by the collective foraging behavior of honey bee swarms. The objective is to find a pattern or reference image (template) of an object somewhere in a target landscape scene that may contain noise and ...

In this paper we present a retrospective on our paper published in ICS 1995, which to best of our knowledge was the first paper that introduced the concept of a cache memory with multiple subcaches, each tuned for a different type of locality. In this retrospective, we summarize the main ideas of the original paper and outline some of the later work that exploited similar ideas and could have b...

In the article by Anderson and Ray, “It’s 10 pm; Do You Know Where Your Data Are? Data Provenance, Curation, and Storage,” which published in the May 12, 2017 issue of the journal (Circ Res. 2017;120:1551–1554. DOI: 10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.116.310424), corrections were needed. In the Reference section, URLs should have been included to direct readers to the individual sites for most references. Thes...

Conceptual design relies on extensive manipulation of the morphological properties of real or virtual objects. This study aims to investigate the nature of the perceptual information that could be retrieved in different representation modalities to learn a complex structure. An abstract and complex object was presented to two study populations, experts and non-experts, in three different repres...

Digital speckle image correlation techniques have been successfully proven to be an accurate displacement analysis tool for a wide range of applications. In this paper, a new Electronic Laser Speckle Pattern Interferometer based on Michelson interferometer is designed. An object beam back scattered of an object surface and a reference beam, originating from the same laser light source are super...

After a brief introduction on vehicle barriers in general, the writers present a rational basis of determining a design force on security barriers. The design force is derived from rigid barrier impact deceleration values culled from published literature on vehicles with similar kinetic energy. The Appendix provide a summary of references for further study. DOI: 10.1061/ ASCE 1084-068
