This study investigated the factors influencing trust in travel-related CGM and, in turn, the degree to which trust affects the benefits and impacts of using CGM in the course of planning pleasure trips. An online survey of US Internet users was conducted with a total of 1170 individuals responding to questions regarding their perceptions and use of CGM for travel planning. The findings show th...

This paper describes one approach for calculating the cohomology of a particular complex which arises in knot theory and which is used to prove the existence of ‘associators’, a key ingredient in the construction of a universal knot invariant. The approach taken is to show that the relevant complex can be interpreted, essentially, as the cohomology of the functor Hom(K, C), where C is the coalg...

We propose a two-stage process to explain the relationship between the local news environment and citizen engagement. Our original content analysis of newspaper coverage in every US House district during the 2010 midterms reveals that districts with uncompetitive races and those served by large-circulation outlets see significantly less, and less substantive, coverage than hotly contested distr...

During phases of transient connectivity, sensor nodes receive a substantial number of corrupt packets. These corrupt packets are generally discarded, losing the sent information and wasting the energy put into transmitting and receiving. Our analysis of one year’s data from an outdoor sensor network deployment shows that packet corruption follows a distinct pattern that is observed on all links...
