Event visualization holds the promise of alleviating information overload in human analysis and numerous tools and techniques have been developed and evaluated. However, previous work does not specifically address either the coordination of event dimensions with the types of tasks involved or the way that visualizing different event dimensions can benefit human analysis. In this paper, we propo...

This paper examines temporal dimensions of organizational learning. Organizational learning is a process phenomenon that unfolds over time. However, only scant attention has been paid to the role of time in theories of organizational learning and reviews of the field. The objective of this paper is to conceptualize the temporal dimensions of organizational learning, to review existing work that...

Data Warehouses (DWs) use an omnipresent time dimension for keeping track of changes in measure values. However, this dimension cannot be used to model changes in other dimensions. On the other hand, Temporal Databases (TDBs) have been successfully used for modelling time-varying information. Bringing together these two research areas, leading to Temporal Data Warehouses (TDWs), provides the ne...

Behaviour support technology is aimed at helping people organize their daily routines. The overall goal of our research is to develop generic techniques for representing people’s actual and desired behavior, i.e. commitments towards themselves and others, and for reasoning about corresponding supportive actions to help them comply with these commitments as well as handle non-compliance appropri...

Morphogen signaling is critical for the growth and patterning of tissues in embryos and adults, but how morphogen signaling gradients are generated in tissues remains controversial. The morphogen Nodal was proposed to form a long-range signaling gradient via a reaction-diffusion system, on the basis of differential diffusion rates of Nodal and its antagonist Lefty. Here we use a specific zebraf...

PURPOSE The present study was designed to evaluate use of spectral and temporal cues under conditions in which both types of cues were available. METHOD Participants included adults with normal hearing and hearing loss. We focused on 3 categories of speech cues: static spectral (spectral shape), dynamic spectral (formant change), and temporal (amplitude envelope). Spectral and/or temporal dim...

AIM The aim of the study was assess the meaning of preferred temporal orientation for results of alcohol dependence therapy. METHODS One hundred and sixteen (116) (95 men and 21 women) alcohol addict patients were evaluated at the beginning of the alcohol addiction outpatient therapy. The temporal orientation and attitude for time was assessed by using Temporal Orientation Questionnaire-AION ...

We consider two-dimensional quantum gravity coupled to matters in the temporal gauge, using the Polyakov path integral. We show that the integration over the metric can be explicitly performed under some plausible assumptions. We also discuss that the critical dimensions in string theory may not be determined in the temporal gauge.

Ecosystems are dynamic in both space and time, hence involve multiple spatial and temporal scales, and are often heterogeneous in both of those dimensions, leading to spatial and temporal clustering. Accommodating this complexity in the context of scientific (statistical) hypothesis testing necessitates more advanced methods than those available within the classical null hypothesis testing para...
