Many Chinese companies have built their online presences but few studies examine if the Chinese corporate websites follow the recommended design guidelines. Through a content analysis of 487 websites of the largest Chinese companies, the study analyses 55 content and design elements of the corporate homepages. The results provide a comprehensive evaluation on the homepage content and design cha...

With the computer being more integrated into daily life, more and more people need to read online information. Online information is often formatted in a similar fashion to printed information.

In this demo, we present the VideoLecturesMashup, which delivers re-mixes of learning materials from the VideoLectures.NET portal based on shared topics across different lectures. Learners need more efficient access to teaching on specific topics which could be part of a larger lecture (focused on a different topic) and occur across lectures from different collections in distinct domains. Curre...

Spotting contextually relevant keywords is fundamental to effective content suggestions on the Web. In this regard, misspellings, entity variations and off-topic discussions in content from Social Media pose unique challenges. Here, we present an algorithm that assists content delivery systems by identifying contextually relevant keywords and eliminating off-topic keywords. A preliminary user s...

The commencement of a trial of Internet Service Provider (ISP) level content filtering as a precursor to nation-wide mandatory content filters in Australia has generated a large amount of publicity. Despite remaining low on details, figures released show that the laboratory testing of the filtering solutions caused significant slow-down in Internet speeds as well as the unintentional censorship...

We find conditions ensuring the existence of the one-sided Minkowski content for d-dimensional closed sets in R, in connection with regularity properties of their boundaries. Moreover, we provide a class of sets stable under finite unions for which the one-sided Minkowski content exists. It follows, in particular, that finite unions of sets with Lipschitz boundary and a type of sets with positi...
