Contemporary social networking sites (SNSs) make idealized self-presentation and image maintenance difficult because users’ audiences are becoming more diverse and individual users must negotiate ...

Timing Resistive Plate Chambers in multi-strip configuration, pioneered by the FOPI collaboration [1], are planned for covering the low-granularity part of the CBM-TOF wall. A recent experiment at GSI cave-B has shown that, with an adequate optimization of the strip layout and readout, the multi-strip concept is sound in terms of timing and efficiency, and well suited for a multi-hit environmen...

The production and consumption of geographic information is becoming a more mobile practice, with more corporate actors challenging the traditional stronghold of Esriand government-based geospatial developments. What can be considered a geographic information system has expanded to include web-based technologies like Google Earth/Maps, as well as more recent developments of Microsoft’s Bing Map...

are calculated on the RBC/UKQCD 32 3 × 64, L s = 16 lattices, using 2+1 dynamical flavors and domain wall fermions, with an inverse lattice spacing of a −1 = 2.42(4) GeV. Data is interpolated or extrapolated to energy conserving kinematics and a preliminary calculation of the experimental parameter |A 2 | is performed.

This paper present a semantic and syntactic distance based method in topic text segmentation and compare it to a very well known text segmentation algorithm: c99. To do so we ran the two algorithms on a corpus of twenty two French political discourses and compared their results.

A key step in Natural Language Processing is creating representations of sentences and discourses. Sentences describe states and events. Thus a crucial component of semantically interpreting them is determining the temporal structure of the events they describe. We present a general and declarative approach to doing so. This approach is based on an algebraic semantics of events and objects.

Expressive AI is a new interdiscipline of AI-based cultural production combining art practice and AI research practice. This paper explores the notion of expressive AI by comparing it with other AI discourses, describing how it borrows notions of interpretation and authorship from both art and AI research practice, and by providing preliminary desiderata for the practice.

This essay proposes new contours for design as a profession in a world whose industrial products have become more and more language-like and incommensurate discourses compete with one another for hegemony the design discourse being merely one of many. It takes design to be constituted (that is, defined with) in processes of languaging. It calls on us to recognize and act in the awareness of how...

Both fictional and factual discourses have situated visual impairment in a causal relationship with suicide. The paper compares samples of these discourses in order to suggest that the fiction may have some bearing on the facts. This alternative explanation becomes all the more thought-provoking when it is considered that not only visual impairment but visual restoration has been posited as a c...
