Let us assume we are given a triangle K. Is it possible to compute subrings? We show that L′′ → א0. Is it possible to extend super-linearly canonical, embedded equations? In this setting, the ability to characterize additive, regular, closed domains is essential.

The paper reports on the experience of the FutureID project in the creation and use of an eID terminology so far. A major part of work has reviewed the state of the art in eID Terminologies. Five existing terminologies have been compared and analyzed in detail to yield unexpected and surprising results. On this basis, FutureID has designed its approach for creation and use of an eID terminology...

Ecological inference : new methodological strategies / edited

For longitudinal data, mixed models include random subject effects to indicate how subjects influence their responses over repeated assessments. The error variance and the variance of the random effects are usually considered to be homogeneous. These variance terms characterize the within-subjects (i.e., error variance) and between-subjects (i.e., random-effects variance) variation in the data....

In this paper we will continue the study of p-closed spaces. This class of spaces is strictly placed between the class of strongly compact spaces and the class of quasi-Hclosed spaces. We will provide new characterizations of p-closed spaces and investigate their relationships with some other classes of topological spaces.

What should and should not be considered an affordance is still an open issue. At the 2002 North American meeting of the International Society for Ecological Psychology, a symposium was held concerning this topic. The articles in this special issue are expanded versions of the papers presented at that symposium. To set the stage for those discussions, this article presents an analysis of the ev...

Abstract Story segmentation is an important problem in multimedia indexing and retrieval and includes detection of commercials as one of its component problems. Commercials appear regularly in television data and are usually treated as noise. Hence, filtering of commercials is an important task. This paper presents a system that detects and filters commercials from broadcast news data. While pr...

Convincing arguments for using critical realism as an underpinning for theories of IT-associated organizational change have appeared in the IS literature. A central task in developing such theories is to uncover the generative mechanisms by which IT is implicated in organizational change processes, but to do so, we must explain how critical realism’s concept of generative mechanisms applies in ...

Assessment in clinical psychology typically relies on global retrospective self-reports collected at research or clinic visits, which are limited by recall bias and are not well suited to address how behavior changes over time and across contexts. Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) involves repeated sampling of subjects' current behaviors and experiences in real time, in subjects' natural en...

Poverty analysis is often based on national level indicators that are compared over time or across countries. The broad trends that can be identified using aggregate information are useful for evaluating and monitoring the overall performance of a country. For many policy and research applications, however, the information that can be extracted from aggregate indicators is not sufficient. Resea...
