The fundamental challenge for computational media is to contribute to the invention and design of cultures in which humans can express themselves and engage in personally meaningful activities. Cultures are substantially defined by their media and tools for thinking, working, learning, and collaborating. New media change (1) the structure and contents of our interests, (2) the nature of our cog...

the script and orthography system which are used for the zoroastrian middle persian (= pahlavi) texts because of their many shortcomings and difficulties have always caused many misunderstandings and misinterpretations by the ancient users and modern researchers. this indeterminacy of the script and the lack of a complete and accurate understanding of the contents of the texts have caused the p...

Burnout ist auch bei Schweizer Ärztinnen und Ärzten ein bedeutendes Problem. Die Auswirkungen des zunehmenden betriebswirtschaftlichen Drucks spielen dabei eine bedeutende Rolle. Einführung von Medical Scribes, welche Ärzte Schreib- Administrationsarbeiten entlasten, hat das Potential, vorzeitige Ausstiege aus der Tätigkeit am Patienten zu verhindern gleichzeitig betriebswirtschaftliche Ergebni...

Hildegard of Bingen (1098–1179) is one of the most influential female authors of the Middle Ages. From the point of view of computational stylistics, the oeuvre attributed to Hildegard is fascinating. Hildegard dictated her texts to secretaries in Latin, a language of which she did not master all grammatical subtleties. She therefore allowed her scribes to correct her spelling and grammar. Espe...

manuscripts of manuchehri’s divan are relatively new. only one manuscript dates back to 1051 a.h. scribes have systematically “modernized” the older records. to have access to the poet’s language, one must either refer to the old manuscripts which are still unknown or else resort to literary miscellanies containing the poet’s poems. the author has presented here a number of different and rather...

We continue our exploration of streaming algorithms. First, we briefly discuss the sparse approximation problem – a problem of fundamental importance in streaming and signal processing – and its connection to the Count-Min algorithm. Next, we start investigation of the lowerbounds on space complexity of streaming algorithms. In particular, we revisit the question of lowerbounds for the distinct...

Domain knowledge expressed in structured citation formats can be exploited in data mining. We propose four structural properties of canonically cited texts, then look at to two classic problems in the study of the scholia, or ancient scholarly commentary, found in the manuscripts of the Iliad. We cluster citations of scholia to analyze their distribution in different manuscripts; this leads to ...
