The aerodynamic drag of a trailing cyclists in tandem formation is investigated at different lateral and longitudinal separations. A Ring Fire (RoF) experiment conducted the Tom Dumoulin bike park Sittard-Geleen Netherlands. method based on stereoscopic Particle Image Velocimetry (Stereo-PIV) measurements followed by invoking conservation momentum expressed control volume to evaluate force cycl...

The study reports an analysis of the drafts produced by two groups of students during an exam. Drafts were categorized as a function of some of their graphic features (e.g. their length), and of theii different planning strategies used for their production (e.g. note draft, organized draft, composed draft). Grades obtained by the students on their essays related to the different categories of d...

Although many attempts at automated aids for legal drafting have been made, they were based on the construction of a new tool, completely from scratch. This is at least curious, considering that a strong parallelism can be established between a normative document and a software specification: both describe what an entity should or should not do, can or cannot do. In this article we compare norm...

One of the biggest challenges for the Computer Science of today can be summed up by the paradigm ”access to information from everywhere at anytime”. This is especially true for pervasive computing. With the growth of mobile devices (e.g., smart-phones), on the one hand, and the quick development of the Internet (this has become the really pervasive network of today), on the other hand, the deve...

We examine a range of existing authoring aids (understood in the widest sense), from full-scale NLG to a new type of interactive MT. All of these depend on an independently available meaning representation, either a language-neutral formal model or a parallel text in another language. When no such meaning representation is available, however, current authoring aids can offer little more than wo...
