There appears to be two schools of information systems development methods research that largely pursue their own agendas without many cross-references, On the one hand there is the method engineering research and on the other hand there is the method-in-action research, There seems to be much to be gained from integrating these two schools, developing knowledge that both has the formality (rig...

The authors regret that in the original version of their paper, they mistakenly used the phrase OVA-expressing cells instead of OVA-secreting cells in parts of the text and cited reference Boissonnas et al. (2007. http://dx.doi.org/10.1084/jem.20061890) instead of Zeelenberg et al. (2008. http://dx.doi.org/10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-07-3163) and Sedlik et al. (2014. http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/jev.v3....

Overweight and obesity in children and adolescents represent a global health challenge (1). In the Bergen Growth Study, in which 8 299 children from Bergen, Norway, were measured in a cross-sectional survey in the period 2003 – 2006, the prevalence of overweight, including obesity, in the age group 2 – 19 years was found to be 13.2 % for boys and 14.5 % for girls (2). The highest prevalence for...

LAPSyD, the Lyon-Albuquerque Phonological Systems Database, is an online phonological database equipped with powerful query, mapping and visualization tools. It stems from the UPSID and WALS databases, enhanced with newly validated data not only covering segmental inventories but also syllable structures, stress and tonal systems. In its current version it covers around 700 languages and it is ...

We give a review of the state of the art with regard to the theory of scale functions for spectrally negative Lévy processes. From this we introduce a general method for generating new families of scale functions. Using this method we introduce a new family of scale functions belonging to the Gaussian Tempered Stable Convolution (GTSC) class. We give particular emphasis to special cases as well...

The genealogy of this special issue begins in the fall of 2009, with a panel organized by Mia Consalvo and Charles Ess for the annual conference of the Association of Internet Researchers (AoIR) held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on 8 October. The panel was constituted by a selected set of contributors to The Handbook of Internet Studies (Consalvo and Ess, 2011). The presentations and ensuing discuss...

This paper presents a smart store that estimates a preference of consumers concerning products from their behaviors. This paper proposes a method, which is a passive observation and an active observation, to observe two behaviors, direct behaviors and indirect behaviors. The passive observation is a method to observe direct behaviors of customers towards real products through ambient sensors. T...

This paper presents a highly flexible infrastructure for processing digitized dictionaries and that can be used to build NLP tools in the future. This infrastructure is especially suitable for low resource languages where some digitized information is available but not (yet) suitable for algorithmic use. It allows researchers to do at least some processing in an algorithmic way using the full p...

The hyperlinking feature of hypertext, which in the cognitive flexibility perspective encourages advanced learning (Spiro & Jehng, 1990), frequently overloads working memory according to the cognitive load theory (Sweller, 1988). One of such negative effects of hyperlinks is split attention. When two or more sources of information are separated in space (e.g., text located on different hypertex...
