This paper introduces the MREF framework for representing and correlating information at a higher semantic level than is possible with Web-based information systems today. The role that metadata plays in this framework is described, together with a metadata based infrastructure to support our media independent information correlation paradigm. To keep it consistent with evolving standards, broa...

The current study extends the efforts of Bischoff Renninger, Granot and Donchin (2003) to non-Western musical systems and focuses specifically on EventRelated Potential (ERP) responses to scalar deviations within the Javanese pélog scale by groups of musicians trained within the Western and Javanese systems. The principal aim is to ascertain whether results found in previous experiments may be ...

Despite the prevalence of mentally ill probationers, and probation officers' (POs') central role in their supervision, this is the first reported study to investigate how POs implement mandates to participate in psychiatric treatment. Five focus groups were conducted in major cities with 32 POs and 20 probationers representing a mix of traditional and "specialty" probation agencies. Three key f...

Punk's global spread has been a defining aspect of its forty-plus year history; contemporary punk can only be understood in relation to this network. transmission from place is shaped by neocolonial cultural flows, but scenes also respond their particular contexts, and analysis local must consider contextuality carefully alongside "global punk" framing. "Other" places cannot simply judged via r...

Researchers have reported that parental authority has linked to levels of child’s self-esteem. Most previous research has shown that authoritative parenting is more beneficial to adolescent self-esteem than authoritarian parenting (Furnham & Cheng, 2000). The effects of authoritarian parenting, however, have yielded contradictory results in Asian cultures. Therefore, the current study aimed to ...

Western blotting electrophoretic sequencing is an analytical technique widely used in Functional Proteomics to detect, recognize and quantify specific labelled proteins in biological samples. A commonly used label for western blotting is Enhanced ChemiLuminescence (ECL) reagents based on fluorescent light emission of Luminol at 425nm. Film emulsion is the conventional detection medium, but is c...
