The current research sought to validate the Chernyshenko Conscientiousness Scales (CCS), a novel measure designed to assess six facets of conscientiousness. Data from 7,569 U.S. participants and 649 U.K. participants were analyzed to assess the internal reliability and factorial structure of the scales. Test-retest reliability, convergent and divergent validity, and criterion-related validity w...

Faceted search enables users to navigate a multi-dimensional information space by combining keyword search with drill-down options in each facets. For example, when searching “computer monitor” in an e-commerce site, users can select brands and monitor types from the the provided facets {“Samsung”, “Dell”, “Acer”, ...} and {“LET-Lit”, “LCD”, “OLED”, ...}. It has been used successfully for many ...

Faceted search and querying are two well-known paradigms to search the Semantic Web. Querying languages, such as SPARQL, offer expressive means for searching RDF datasets, but they are difficult to use. Query assistants help users to write well-formed queries, but they do not prevent empty results. Faceted search supports exploratory search, i.e., guided navigation that returns rich feedbacks t...

The abstract should provide a succinct overview of the research and should include information regarding the purpose of the study, method, sample size and selection, the main findings and conclusions and recommendations (Conkin Dale, 2005). From the abstract the reader should be able to determine if the study is of interest and whether or not to continue reading (Parahoo, 2006) Elements Influen...

This paper reviews the current available literature concerning faceted search to provide a research overview of practices and guidelines for developing effective faceted search interfaces. These findings are then used as the basis for a case study addressing the design of a faceted search interface for classic cars. We find these concepts useful when selectively applied duting the construction ...

A materialized faceted taxonomy is an information source where the objects of interest are indexed according to a faceted taxonomy. This paper shows how from a materialized faceted taxonomy, we can mine an expression of the Compound Term Composition Algebra that specifies exactly those compound terms that have non-empty interpretation. The mined expressions can be used for encoding compactly (a...

Faceted search is the de facto query paradigm in e-commerce applications. Recently this approach was adapted to the context of the Semantic Web. In this demonstration we present our faceted search system SemFacet and show how it can enhance access to RDF and OWL 2 datasets and OWL 2 ontologies in the domain of life sciences. SemFacet combines keyword and faceted search and it is based on a soli...

The microsegregation behaviour of antimony in the faceted and non-faceted Czochralski silicon crystal growth was analyzed quantitatively. Using small melt heights and no rotation, dopant striations of various small spacings were eliminated. Interface demarcation and spreading resistance measurements were used for the segregation analysis. The dopant concentration and its fluctuation during the ...
