Social Media have increasingly provided data about the movement of people in cities making them useful understanding daily life different geographies. Particularly for travel analysis is when users allow (voluntarily or not) tracing their using geotagged information communication with these online platforms. In this paper we use tweets from 10 European Union and United States America to extract...

The recently proposed partition theory (PT) (J. Phys. Chem. A2007, 111, 2229.) is illustrated on a simple one-dimensional model of a heteronuclear diatomic molecule, 1DAB. It is shown that a sharp definition for the charge of molecular fragments emerges from PT and that the ensuing population analysis can be used to study how charge redistributes during dissociation and the implications of that...

We propose a model on strategic formation of communication networks with (i) link specificity: the more direct links somebody maintains, the less she can specify her attention per link, the lower her links’ value, while this negative externality was previously ignored in the communication context, and (ii) value transferability via indirect links for informational but not for social value from ...

Traditional approaches to developing user models, especially for computer-based learning environments, are notoriously difficult and time-consuming because they rely heavily on expert-elicited knowledge about the target application and domain. Furthermore, because the necessary expert knowledge is application and domain specific, the entire model development process must be repeated for each ne...

Accident prediction models, also known as safety performance functions, have several important uses in modern day safety analysis. Unfortunately, calibration of these models is not straightforward. This paper documents a research effort that demonstrates the complexity of calibrating these models for urban intersections. These complexities relate to the specification of the functional form, the...

Adaptation to manipulated versions of face images can induce strong adaptation effects in face perception and the adjustment of memory representations has been suggested to underlie this effect. In previous studies such effects have been observed after short as well as long delays between adaptation and test (5 min and 24 h) and they were evident in face images identical to the adapting stimuli...

PREMISE OF THE STUDY Indel markers were developed from BAC-end sequences of Citrus clementina cv. Nules. Transferability and polymorphism were tested in the Citrus genus to estimate the potential of indel markers mined from a single genotype for use in genetic studies. METHODS AND RESULTS Using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and DNA silver staining, 89 indel markers were tested for their ...

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Phylogenetic and microsatellite markers were developed for Tulasnella mycorrhizal fungi to investigate fungal species identity and diversity. These markers will be useful in future studies investigating the phylogenetic relationship of the fungal symbionts, specificity of orchid-mycorrhizal associations, and the role of mycorrhizae in orchid speciation within ...

ABSTRACT A growing number of jurisdictions now request economic data in support of their decision-making procedures for the pricing and/or reimbursement of health technologies. Because more jurisdictions request economic data, the burden on study sponsors and researchers increases. There are many reasons why the cost-effectiveness of health technologies might vary from place to place. Therefore...

Information systems use research has investigated post-adoption issues as a means for identifying the factors that are relevant for long term IS success. Our objective in this study is to investigate voluntary adoption decisions of new software in an organizational setting. We study how attributes of prior use, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness affect knowledge transferability and ...
