There is a growing consensus that professional work faces an uncertain future. However, debates have tended to take a macro focus, underplaying the role of individuals’ accounts of their working lives. In this paper we focus on UK architecture, examining how public and private sector architects construct the purpose and process of their occupation, using the concept of discourse to investigate ...

The paper proposes a novel cognitive architecture (CA) for computational creativity based on the Psi model and on the mechanisms inspired by dual process theories of reasoning and rationality. In recent years, many cognitive models have focused on dual process theories to better describe and implement complex cognitive skills in artificial agents, but creativity has been approached only at a de...

The primary clocks CS1, CS2 and CS3 of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) have contributed to the realization of International Atomic Time, TAI (Temps Atomique International), throughout 1999. Their operation, their performance and the uncertainty with which they realized the International System of Units (SI) second are described in some detail, together with the results and assoc...

This research examines a chronic problem in academic settings – inappropriate copying or misuse of source materials–i.e., plagiarism. We conduct a computer-based writing experiment to examine the effects of psychological and situational characteristics on subjects’ propensity to misappropriate text. Specifically, we examine to what extent such misappropriations may be explained by available tec...

This paper discusses two important desiderata for developing creativity support tools, namely ideation and empowerment. We then use them to guide us in designing a new individual creativity support tool codenamed Creative-Pad. Creative-Pad is designed to assist individual advertising creative to develop creative ideas for advertisements. For ideation, Creative-Pad searches and filters informati...

Using 3.3 pb of data collected with the CMD-2 detector in the 720 – 840 MeV c.m. energy range, the branching fraction of the conversion decay ω → πee has been measured: B(ω → πee) = (8.19 ± 0.71± 0.62) · 10. The upper limits for the branching fractions of the following conversion decays have been obtained at the 90% confidence level: B(ρ → πee) < 1.6 · 10, B(ρ → ηee) < 0.7 · 10 and B(ω → ηee) <...
