This study extends prior scholarship on the role of self-disclosure in relationship development on the Internet in three different cultures: Korea, Japan, and the United States. The duration of the online relationship was considered as well as the two typical dimensions (i.e., breadth and depth) of selfdisclosure. The results suggest some cross-cultural differences and similarities in the assoc...

Biomedical information is growing rapidly in the recent years and retrieving useful data through information extraction system is getting more attention. In the current research, we focus on different aspects of relation extraction techniques in biomedical domain and briefly describe the state-of-the-art for relation extraction between a variety of biological elements.

We contribute to metadata management by giving a speciication of extended Entity-Relationship schemas with the extended Entity-Relationship model itself. We formulate a number of integrity constraints describing the context-sensitive requirements an extended Entity-Relationship schema has to ful-ll. By doing this, a certain class of schema queries can be formulated.

Entity Relationship schemas include weak entity types, whose entities are identified by their inter-relationships to other entities. During the translation of the EER schema into a logical database schema, the weak entity types are either translated into logical units of the database (a relation or a class), or are embedded as attributes of other logical units. Formal studies of EER schemas eit...

This paper presents an unsupervised relation extraction algorithm, which induces relations between entity pairs by grouping them into a “natural” number of clusters based on the similarity of their contexts. Stability-based criterion is used to automatically estimate the number of clusters. For removing noisy feature words in clustering procedure, feature selection is conducted by optimizing a ...

ERW is an innovative open-source system for handling complex databases using a web browser. Once the details of an enhanced entity-relationship schema have been specified in XML, ERW generates a complete application that lets the user interact with the database. Then, specification percolation makes it possible to customise heavily the application while maintaining the flexibility of a model-dr...

Relationship Enhancement Couple Therapy and Couple Group Therapy Barry G. Ginsberg’ Relationship enhancement couple and couple group therapy has remained innovative and effective for more than 40 years. This evidenced-based approach is an educational, skilltraining model designed to improve satisfaction and stability in the couple relationship. Couples learn how to be more accepting and nonjudg...

This paper gives a closed approach to modeling and implementation with graphs. This approach uses extended entity relationship (EER) diagrams complemented with the Z-like constraint language GRAL. Due to the foundation of EER/GRAL on Z a common formal basis exists. EER/GRAL descriptions give conceptual models which can be implemented in a seamless manner by e cient data structures using the Gra...

Business clusters and global value chains (GVCs) command growing interest in some research disciplines. In the existing literature overwhelmingly focus on two niches: governance and upgrading. The detailed mechanisms of buyer-supplier relationship management tend to remain under-researched. This paper presents a framework base on the literature on the literature of International Marketing and P...

In the context of CASE tool development for relational database design, this paper develops a methodology that maps an enhanced Entity-Relationship (ER) schema into a relational schema and normalizes the latter into inclusion normal form (IN-NF). Unlike classical normaliza-tion that characterizes individual relations only, IN-NF concerns inter-relational redundancies. The paper formalizes sourc...
