This paper describes two stages of research-in-progress studying the classification of IT investment from the accounting perspective. It addresses the overlooked input side of IT business value research and explores how firms report and classify IT asset and expenses. In the part of the study, we found only 8% of firms report their IT expenditure separately from other forms of expenditure, a fi...

Motivationally intelligent systems deploy resources and tactics dynamically to maintain or increase the student’s desire to learn and her willingness to expend effort in so doing. Three categories of diagnostic inputs and feedback reactions are outlined each with its associated meta-level. The meta-level includes the account which learners tell themselves, the system and others about what they ...

Es wurde ein System von 200.000 LOC auf OO-Maße hin analysiert und die Abhängigkeiten der Maße statistisch analysiert. Das System ist seit 2001 im Einsatz und wird auch zur Zeit noch (2007) evolutionär weiter entwickelt. Einige Befunde aus der neueren Literatur wurden bestätigt, einige präzisiert. Wartungsintensive Klassen lassen sich zuverlässig erkennen.

Recent results obtained by the CDF and D0 Collaborations on searches for Higgs bosons beyond the Standard Model at Run II of the Tevatron are discussed. The data, corresponding to integrated luminosities of up to 4.2 fb −1 , are compared to theoretical expectations. No significant excess of signal above the expected background is observed in any of the various final states examined, and so limi...

The element mercury (Hg) can develop large mass-independent fractionation (MIF) (Δ199Hg) due to photo-chemical reactions at Earth's surface. This results in globally negative Δ199Hg for terrestrial sub-aerially-derived materials and positive sub-aqueously-derived marine sediments. mantle composition least affected by crustal recycling is estimated from high-3He/4He lavas Samoa Iceland, providin...

Motor asymmetry, defined as the lack of symmetry in movements or postures, is often observed briefly in many typically developing children. However, if such asymmetry persists, it may be a sign of neurological disease. Recent studies have suggested that motor asymmetries may be an early symptom of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). ASD involve a range of social, cognitive, and behavioral problems...
