The DiVA system, originally developed at Uppsala University, has evolved out of a scholarly repository and publishing system solely used by one university into a system used and further developed in collaboration with seventeen universities in Sweden, Norway and Denmark. The system consists of several modules which are entirely built on XML and Java technologies. This modularisation facilitates...

The proposed tool focuses on a cost effective and robust web based utility fishermen’s information system to the one of the active non-governmental organization (NGO) called Women and Child Welfare Service (WCWS) with multi-mode interactive tool pertaining to issues in the development of information system for fishermen’s socioeconomic development and planning. The proposed system has been deve...

The present study tested two hypotheses about apraxia of speech (AOS), framed in the DIVA model (Guenther, Ghosh, & Tourville, 2006). The DIVA model assumes that speech targets are regions in auditory space, and combines two mechanisms to reach those targets: feedback control and feedforward control. The Feedforward System Deficit (FF) hypothesis states that feedforward control is impaired in A...

This paper describes DIVA, a decision-theoretic agent for recommending movies that contains a number of novel features. DIVA represents user preferences using pairwise comparisons among items, rather than numeric ratings. It uses a novel similarity measure based on the concept of the probability of conflict between two orderings of ̄ items. The system has a rich representation of preference, dis...

Avian influenza viruses (AIVs) are single-stranded RNA viruses belonging to the Influenza virus A genus of the Orthomyxoviridae family. The segmented genome encodes ten or 11 proteins, depending on the strain. These proteins are the prominent outer surface glycoproteins HA and neuraminidase (NA), the matrix (M2) ion channels, the matrix (M1) protein, which is found lining the inner side of the ...

A real-time virtual audio reality model has been created. The system includes model-based sound synthesizers, geometric room acoustics modeling, binaural auralization for headphone or loudspeaker listening, and high-quality animation. The design goals of the overall project have been to create a virtual musical event that is as authentic as possible both in terms of audio and visual quality. No...

Evaluation of Forest Ecosystem Functions using Integrated Methods Multi-Criteria Decision Making (Case Study: Mazandaran Provence, Shiadeh and Diva Ecosystem)

El modelado de escenarios cambios climáticos utilizando sistemas información geográfica para estimar la resiliencia cobertura vegetal es una herramienta útil proyectar impactos futuros e implementar estrategias conservación o manejo. En el presente trabajo asociamos espacialmente biodiversidad del Suroeste México con su capacidad adaptarse a los efectos cambio climático. Para analizar esta asoc...
