This study tested the relative predictive power of affect and cognition on global attitude and behavioral intention within the tripartite model of attitude structure. Participants (N = 264) completed questionnaires that included an item regarding blood donation experience, five semantic differential items, four behavioral intention items, and one global attitude item. Participants were randomly...

We show that for many strata of Abelian differentials in low genus the sum of Lyapunov exponents for the Teichmüller geodesic flow is the same for all Teichmüller curves in that stratum, hence equal to the sum of Lyapunov exponents for the whole stratum. This behavior is due to the disjointness property of Teichmüller curves with various geometrically defined divisors on moduli spaces of curves.

IP Multicast has been developed in the past few years to support multi-point communication in Internet. However, it is still hard for protocol designers to tackle the intrinsic heterogeneity of networks and end-systems. Moreover, in practical, current Internet is not fully multicast-enabled. In this paper, we present a practical semantic reliable multicast (PSRM) architecture for current Intern...

In this document, we explore how semantic technologies can be brought to email addressing. We introduce the notion of semantic email addressing (SEA). SEA allows emails to be sent to a semantically specified recipient of group of recipients, which may be dynamically changing over time. We give some applications of SEA and describe our prototype imple-

Occupational therapists have used activity analysis to ensure the therapeutic use of activities. Recently, they have begun to explore the affective components of activities. This study explores the feelings (affective responses) that chronic psychiatric patients have toward selected activities commonly used in occupational therapy. Twenty-two participating chronic psychiatric patients were rand...
