A diierential editor is a text or le editor that excells at editing, comparison, and reconciliation of several diiering versions of a le simultaneously. This paper discusses diierential editors in general and gives two important examples of the paradigm. One example is an editor augmented for bank statement reconciliation. The other is a program text editor augmented to handle multiple versions...

The development of “Health Information Systems” (HIS) in lowincome countries have been on the agenda for the last three decades. Despite significant mobilization, however, little progress has been made in realizing improved systems. One among the popular reasons for such progress concerns the lack or unwillingness of some relevant groups of actors to participate in HIS initiatives. Such explana...

Multi-fluid simulations, especially volume of fluid datasets, confront visualization experts with the challenge of reconstructing appropriate material interfaces that accurately delimit fluid boundaries. In general this reconstruction problem does not have an unique solution, leading to possible spatial and temporal inconsistencies in the reconstructed interfaces. In this paper we present and d...

This paper explores the correlation between lexical semantics and syntactic construction, with particular attention paid to delimiting the lexical semantic distinctions between the multiple senses of the polysemous verb song4 ‘to send’. Different types of syntactic constructions are first categorized according to the distribution of arguments, such as direct objects, indirect objects, and locat...

Recently, some members of the conservation community have used ecosystem services as a strategy to conserve biodiversity. Others in the community have criticized this strategy as a distraction from the mission of biodiversity conservation. The debate continues, and it remains unclear whether the concerns expressed are significant enough to merit the opposition. Through an exploration of the sci...

We present an approach for deriving qualitative descriptions of contours containing structures at different (unknown) scales. The descriptions are in terms of straight a m , curved arcs with sign of curvature, corners, and points delimiting the arcs: inflexion points and transitions from straight to curved. Furthermore, the tangents at these points are derived. The approach is based on the cons...

A Self-Adaptive Recovery Net (SARN) is an extended Petri net model for specifying exceptional behavior in workflow systems. SARN caters for high-level recovery policies that are incorporated either with a single task or a set of tasks, called a recovery region. A recovery region delimits the part of the workflow from which the associated recovery policies take place. In this paper, we assume th...

The central thesis of this article is the treatment of the marital relationship within the context of social exchange theory. This article opens with a discussion of marital solidarity and marital power from a social exchange perspective. Next, the article addresses the differences between social exchange and economic exchange in order to provide insight in delineating marital relationships in ...

Text retrieval from broadcast news video is unsatisfactory, because a transcript word frequently does not directly ‘describe’ the shot when it was spoken. Extending the retrieved region to a window around the matching keyword provides better recall, but low precision. We improve on text retrieval using the following approach: First we segment the visual stream into coherent story-like units, us...
