Each educational resource management website relies on an authoring tool to provide example content. It takes time and experience for authors to create valuable content. Providing support during authoring can affect the quality and quantity of the examples. In this paper we focus on researching the issue of providing relevant examples in the process of example authoring.

Users interact with museum application interfaces for many reasons. There are various types of users, who want to perform various tasks, in various contexts, that can access the same Web site. Thus, it is important to have user interfaces able to adapt to these different user requirements to facilitate the accomplishment of the desired goals. Most current interfaces to museum information do not...

Despite the widespread use of examples in survey questions, very few studies have examined their impact on responses, and evidence is mainly based data collected United States using questionnaires English. This study builds previous research by examining effects providing from a cross-national probability-based web panel implemented Estonia ( n = 730), Great Britain 685), Slovenia 529) during R...

This paper describes an approach for guiding human choice-making by a computerized agent, in a conversational setting, where both user and agent provide meaningful input. In the proposed approach, the agent attempts to convince a person by providing examples for the person to emulate or by providing justifications for the person to internalize and build or change her preferences accordingly. Th...

This paper describes a system for using a PDA to easily control consumer devices found in our environment. By attaching a laser-pointer to the PDA, the user can simply point to a device in sight and request a user interface description. The user can then control the selected device in a web browser like fashion that facilitates spontaneous interaction with consumer devices.

In the present study the lysophospholipid sources for arachidonic (AA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) incorporation into and redistribution within the phospholipids of phorbol-ester-differentiated U937 cells was investigated. Initially, AA incorporated primarily into choline glycerophospholipids (PC), whereas EPA incorporated mainly into ethanolamine glycerophospholipids (PE). Bromoenol lacton...

This appendix supplements the main paper by providing additional numerical examples evaluating the performance of the Gaussian approximations DGA, TGA and TGA-G. First, in §B, we give more examples providing examples of the good performance. Then, in §C, we give more examples that further expose the limitations of the approximations. In §C.1 we give examples showing that the abandonment rates c...

This paper describes the usefulness of the group of multivariate techniques belonging to ordination for the analysis of ecotoxicological data sets. It is argued that although ecotoxicologists often gather multivariate data sets, they usually do not evaluate them with techniques that can handle multivariate data. Ordination techniques enable the researcher to extract an underlying structure out ...

This article describes and discusses consortia models in Europe. Emphasis is given to those consortia that support content provision and access to electronic information resources in society. Four country cases are introduced as examples of the heterogeneous solutions chosen by the consortia. The main results and impact of the consortia are discussed. International cooperation has played an imp...
