This paper presents one of the few human computation experiments geared towards uncovering the structure of affect. Using Mechanical Turk workers across two separate studies, we empirically verified some of the popular beliefs about the structure of affect, but also provide some new evidence. We replicate and reveal not only the statistical structure of dimensions of affect, but also the effect...

Recently, majors of doctors are divided into terribly lots of detailed areas. However, it is actually not a rare case that a doctor has a patient who is not in his/her major. He/She must judge an assessment and make a medical treatment plan for this patient. According to our investigation, conventional approaches such as image diagnosis cooperation are insufficient. This paper proposes an ‘Asse...

As the number of systems which offer annotations on digital documents increases, robust anchoring of annotations is a key challenge. It is especially important if the annotator lacks write-access to the document being annotated. For example, if someone makes an annotation on a web page today and the web page changes tomorrow, what happens to the annotation? One approach is simply to “orphan” th...

There is a growing body of evidence to support the proposition of product take back for remanufacturing particularly within the context of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). Remanufacturing however presents challenges unlike that of traditional manufacturing environments due to its high levels of uncertainty which may further distract organizations from considering its potential benefits. ...

The current paper conceptualizes the technique of release consistency indispensable with the concept of synchronization that is user-defined. Programming model concreted with object and class is illustrated and demonstrated. The essence of the paper is phases, events and parallel computing execution .The technique by which the values are visible on shared variables is implemented. The second pa...

Autonomous cooperation as an organizational principle is a promising approach for logistics service providers to increase their strategic flexibility. This paper discusses effects that can result from an increase of the amplitude of behavioral options as well as the velocity of behavioral reactions of logistics companies on the components of their underlying business models: The customer value ...

this paper addresses the differences between the two terms, “existence” and “existent”, in the framework of “indirect reference theory” and tries to answer whether or not the proposition “existence is existent” is an analytical one. the research shows that on the vocabulary level, none of the two has any additional presentation to the other. also, when by “existence” we mean “nominal existence”...
