A useful step towards better interpretation and analysis of the usage patterns is to formalize the semantics of the resources that users are accessing in the Web. We focus on this problem and present an approach for the semantic formalization of usage logs, which lays the basis for effective techniques of querying expressive usage patterns. We also present a query answering approach, which is u...

Cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression, two major emotion regulation strategies, are differentially related to emotional well-being. The aim of this study was to test the association of individual differences in these two emotion regulation strategies with gray matter volume of brain regions that have been shown to be involved in the regulation of emotions. Based on high-resolution ma...

With 225 SNS network users as the subjects, the research focuses on the influence of SNS network users’ motivation on their behavior. Data are collected through questionnaires and the relationship between motivation and behavior is studied with relative analytical methods. As shown in the study, information and instrument motivation, entertainment and aesthetic motivation, social connection mot...

Despite its centrality to human thought and practice, aesthetics has for the most part played a petty role in human–computer interaction research. Increasingly, however, researchers attempt to strike a balance between the traditional concerns of human–computer interaction and considerations of aesthetics. Thus, recent research suggests that the visual aesthetics of computer interfaces is a stro...

objectives: one of the factors predicting language impairments is an early limited lexicon in children. an early limited lexicon can also lead to limited performances in other language areas. this study was aimed to examine receptive and expressive vocabulary in 8-16 month-old children with cleft lip and palate as a predictor of development in other language areas. materials: the macarthur-bate...

damages due to northridge and kobe earthquakes were expressive of considerable effects of vertical components of earthquakes compared to the horizontal ones. on the other hand, thin steel plate shear wall is one of the newest resistant systems which until now it`s behavior haven’t been investigated under vertical component of earthquake. therefore, in this article, effects of vertical component...

We present Jalapa, a tool for securing Java bytecode programs with history-based usage policies. Policies are defined by usage automata, that recognize the forbidden execution histories. Usage automata are expressive enough to allow programmers specify of many real-world usage policies; yet, they are simple enough to permit formal reasoning. Programmers can sandbox untrusted pieces of code with...

BACKGROUND Aesthetic surgery procedures have been performed at dramatically increased rates in recent years in Iran. Few researches exist documenting the usage of body image coping strategies and its relationship in seeking surgery. METHODS The present research examined data from 90 aesthetic surgery participants (30 Subjects each in invasive, minimally-invasive, and control groups). Assessed...

In this paper, we describe the composition of a piece for choir and Integral Music Controller. We focus more on the aesthetic, conceptual, and practical aspects of the interface and less on the technological details. We especially stress the influence that the designed interface poses on the compositional process and how we approach the expressive organisation of musical materials during the co...

In the era of hyper-connectivity Web-Based Social Networks (WBSNs) are demanding applications. They facilitate the interaction of huge amounts of users and the development of appropriate Access Control Models (ACMs) is an arising necessity. Particularly, the development of WBSNs ACMs with expressive power and capable of managing access control along the whole usage process is the challenge purs...
