Questioning Broadcast Regulation

Questioning Representations

The role of models in the design of computer systems to support interpersonal and cooperative work is examined. It is argued that the current generation of models over-emphasise determinism at the expense of interpretation in the work process. It is further argued that there are many cases in which designs pass between many different professional groups (office workers, managers, analysts, desi...

Entropic Questioning

Questioning Mashups

Mashups have been defined in earlier development stages of the web. Their main motivation is to build new services from existing resources. This principle is still productive. Assumptions on what mashups take in, which interfaces and services they provide and where they are networked need an overhaul. Focusing on a reuse of resources exploiting all their affordances while opening wider ranges f...

Girth, minimum degree, independence, and broadcast independence

An independent broadcast on a connected graph $G$is a function $f:V(G)to mathbb{N}_0$such that, for every vertex $x$ of $G$, the value $f(x)$ is at most the eccentricity of $x$ in $G$,and $f(x)>0$ implies that $f(y)=0$ for every vertex $y$ of $G$ within distance at most $f(x)$ from $x$.The broadcast independence number $alpha_b(G)$ of $G$is the largest weight $sumlimits_{xin V(G)}f(x)$of an ind...

Repetitive Questioning Exasperates Caregivers

Repetitive questioning is due to an impaired episodic memory and is a frequent, often presenting, problem in patients with Alzheimer's disease (amnestic type). It is due to the patients' difficulties learning new information, retaining it, and recalling it, and is often aggravated by a poor attention span and easy distractibility. A number of factors may trigger and maintain repetitive question...
