This study examined to study how respondents rely on the Internet to fulfill the various life goals dimensioned into understanding, orientation and playing goals, and how this dependency relates to the generation of social capital. Further, it examined the resources of social capital in terms of bonding social capita and bridging social capital. In this study quantitative research approach was ...

The rapid adoption of Internet has turned the Millennial Teens’ life like a lightning speed. Empirical evidence has illustrated that Pathological Internet Use (PIU) among them ensure long-term success to the market players in the children industry. However, it creates concerns among their care takers as it generates mental disorder among some of them. The purpose of this paper is to examine the...

In this paper we develop a new and generic theory about the necessary and sufficient conditions for deadlock-free routing in the interconnection networks An extension of the channel dependency graph described by Dally is defined, the channel dynamic dependency graph. The main achievement of this new concept is consecuence of introducing the concept of time and the flow control function in its d...

Here we respond to some comments by Alday concerning headedness in linguistic theory and the validity of the assumptions of a mathematical model for word order. For brevity, we focus only on two assumptions: the unit of measurement of dependency length and the monotonicity of the cost of a dependency as a function of its length. We also revise the implicit psychological bias in Alday’s comments...

We address schema design in uncertain databases. Since uncertain data is relational in nature, decomposition becomes a key issue in design. Decomposition relies on dependency theory, and primarily on functional dependencies. We study the theory of functional dependencies (FDs) for uncertain relations. We define several kinds of horizontal FDs and vertical FDs, each of which is consistent with c...

We present an approach to creating a treebank of sentences using multiple notations or linguistic theories simultaneously. We illustrate the method by annotating sentences from the Penn Treebank II in three different theories in parallel: the original PTB notation, a Functional Dependency Grammar notation, and a Government and Binding style notation. Sentences annotated with all of these theori...

With the advent of XML and its use as a database language, dependency and normal form theory has attracted novel research interest. Several approaches to build up a dependency and normal form theory for XML databases have been published, mainly concentrating on functional dependencies and keys. XMLlike database structures can be modelled by rational trees using constructors for lists and disjoi...

Preference analysis is an important task in multi-criteria decision making. The rough set theory has been successfully extended to deal with preference analysis by replacing equivalence relations with dominance relations. The existing studies involving preference relations cannot capture the uncertainty presented in numerical and fuzzy criteria. In this paper, we introduce a method to extract f...

Document summarization is a technique aimed to automatically extract the main ideas from electronic documents. With the fast increase of electronic documents available on the network, techniques for making efficient use of such documents become increasingly important. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm, called TriangleSum for single document summarization based on graph theory. The alg...

n Abstract A broad reflection on some of the major surprises to anthropological theory occasioned by the history, and in a number of instances the tenacity, of indigenous cultures in the twentieth century. We are not leaving the century with the same ideas that got us there. Contrary to the inherited notions of progressive development, whether of the political left or right, the surviving victi...
