Open communication is critical to the effectiveness, efficiency, and overall success of a business. It is believed that communication openness interplays with media channels and cultural contexts in which the communication takes place. Our study investigated communication openness in downward, peer, and upward directions in face-to-face (F2F) and instant messaging (IM) in the workplace in both ...

The system in this paper generates a ceiling map from video obtained by an upward camera of a moving indoor robot. The map is shared by robots for auto-localization. When the floor is not flat, automatically estimated location contains error. We compensate the error by utilizing video from a forward camera of the robot. In the system, a remote server estimates the location based on data transmi...

The development of symbolic algebra transformed civilization. Since algebra is a recent cultural invention, however, algebraic reasoning must build on a foundation of more basic capacities. Past work suggests that spatial representations of number may be part of that foundation, but recent studies have failed to find relations between spatial-numerical associations and higher mathematical skill...

In this talk I review measurements and calculations of the flux of neutrinos produced by interactions of cosmic rays in the atmosphere. The main reason for interest in this subject is the apparent anomaly between the predicted and the observed ratio of νe to νμ. With the advent of Super-Kamiokande, we are on the threshold of an order of magnitude increase in the amount of data available to stud...

Evaluating Communication for Development presents a comprehensive framework for critically thinking about and understanding development, social change, and the evaluation of communication for development (C4D). This framework combines the latest thinking from a number of fields in new ways. The authors critique dominant measurement-oriented and upward accountability approaches to development an...

We give a purely combinatorial characterization of upward planar graphs in terms of upward planar orders, which also applies to characterize the planarity for nondirected graphs.

We present the measurement of the the flux and angular distribution of atmospheric νµ using the MACRO detector. Three different event topologies are detected in two different energy ranges. High energy neutrinos (Eν ∼ 80 GeV) via the identification of upward throughgoing muons. Lower energy neutrinos (Eν ∼ 4 GeV) via the upgoing stopping and partially contained downgoing muons (ID+UGS), or via ...
