The location of an individual or a mobile terminal can be sensitive with regard to the privacy of an individual. Awarding the individual self-determination of the way position information is used will be crucial to the acceptance of the technology. This paper suggests a solution to how location data can be conveyed in privacy-friendly way using P3P combined with the PiMI method for data conveya...

In text processing systems German words require special treatment because of the possibility to form compound words as a combination of existing words. To this end, a universal word analysis system will be introduced which allows an analysis of all words in German texts according to their atomic components. A recursive decomposition algorithm, following the rules for word flexion, derivation, a...

The phenomenon of electrostatic charge generation in a pneumatic conveying system was studied. The main parameters used for quantitative characterization of the phenomenon included induced current, particle charge density and equivalent current of the charged granular flow. These were measured using a Digital Electrometer, Faraday Cage and Modular Parametric Current Transformer (MPCT) respectiv...

Attribution is a phenomenon of great interest and a principled treatment is important beyond the realm of newspaper articles. The way natural language has evolved to reflect our understanding of attribution in the form of reported speech can guide investigations into principled representations forming the basis for shallow text mining as well as belief revision or maintenance.
