in recent years, work for the information profession has become characterized by fast-paced change and new skills requirements. this transformation has been brought about by the constant emergence of relevant new technologies. in this paper, ict skills for professionals in developing countries are examined and nigeria research project is mentioned as an example. one of the important implication...

The Web has become the most important information source for most of us. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee for the correctness of information on the Web. Moreover, different websites often provide conflicting information on a subject. Several truth discovery methods have been proposed for various scenarios, and they have been successfully applied in diverse application domains. In this paper...

We present a construction of an effective Yang-Mills action for QCD, from the expansion of the fermionic determinant in terms of powers of the chemical potential at high temperature for the case of massless quarks. We analyze this expansion in the perturbative region and find that it gives extra spurious information. We propose for the non-perturbative sector a simplified effective action which...

Rapid proliferation of information technologies has generated a great volume of information that makes scientific information searching more challenging. Personalized recommendation is a widely used technique to help researchers find relevant information. Researchers involved in a social computing context generate abundant content and form heterogeneous connections. Existing article recommendat...

A considerable body of literature has demonstrated— empirically as well as analytically—that information systems need to be situated to the local context of use. Yet for infrastructural information systems that spannumerous contexts spreadout globally, this is literally prohibitive. For these systems towork, it is necessary to strike abalancebetween sensitiveness to local contexts anda need to ...

We use an interactive epistemology framework to provide a systematic analysis of some solution concepts for games with asymmetric information. We characterize solution concepts using expressible epistemic assumptions, represented as events in the canonical space generated by primitive uncertainty about the payoff relevant state, payoff irrelevant information, and actions. In most of the paper, ...

In this article, we analyze a system modeling bacteriophage treatments for infections in a noisy context. In the small noise regime, we show that after a reasonable amount of time the system is close to a bacteria free equilibrium (which is a relevant biologic information) with high probability. Mathematically speaking, our study hinges on concentration techniques for delayed stochastic differe...

In the small noise regime, we show that after a reasonable amount of time the system is close to a sane equilibrium (which is a relevant biologic information) with high probability.
