Experience sampling examined how temporality, the lived experience of time, varied related to specific activity qualities and experiences in everyday life. Thirty-five students completed electronic surveys regarding their current activity and feelings and rated the activity's novelty and complexity, their depth of emotional and intellectual engagement, the direction and depth of attention, and ...

This work evaluates the performance eeectiveness of combining two techniques for improving cache hit rate and reducing memory traac in small on-chip direct-mapped caches. Temporality-based caching is an eecient technique for reducing unnecessary cache block connicts in direct-mapped caches, but does not address compulsory misses. Tagged prefetching is a known technique for controlling compulsor...

Active reading is an activity commonly practised in the research, education and media. It is a creative process in which a reader manually describes, critics, and builds an analysis on the object of his reading. Active reading of audiovisual documents is a challenge because of the inherent temporality of the video: it notably implies managing attentional conflicts between the temporality of the...

We describe the TEMANTEX annotation scheme for temporal expressions and other lexical indicators of temporality and we analyze a first annotation experience. TEMANTEX is mainly a revision of the markup language TIMEX3, but with some additions and a different treatment for relative expressions. Our alternative proposal is justified for two reasons. First, our system aims to cover other temporali...

In the pervasive computing era, mobile phones and personal digital assistants are widely used for data collection. The traditional user interfaces which are employed for data collection in personal computer environments are to be modified appropriately for the mobile environment. Because, it is difficult to display full interface on a single mobile screen due to the limitation of the mobile pho...

The importance of meaningful work has been identified in scholarly writings across a range of disciplines. However, empirical studies remain sparse and the potential relevance of the concept of temporality, hitherto somewhat neglected even in wider sociological studies of organisations, has not been considered in terms of the light that it can shed on the experience of work as meaningful. These...

Works on temporality in the field of language acquisition have progressed considerably over the past few years, moving on from descriptions of the linguistic structure of learner varieties towards a more general concern for their dynamic nature, i.e. their developmental structure and factors relating to their restructuring. As far as the study of temporality is concerned, it has not only been a...

Causality is a non-obvious concept that is often considered to be related to temporality. In this paper we present a number of past and present approaches to the definition of temporality and causality from philosophical, physical, and computational points of view. We note that time is an important ingredient in many relationships and phenomena. The topic is then divided into the two main areas...

The lowest order processes described within quantum electrodynamics are free from the problem with infinities in the theory, and can be dealt with disregarding the need for charge and mass renormalization. This might indicate that the space-time description of these processes is not only consistent but also could give a privileged insight to the functioning of models provided by the theory. The...

This paper presents the analysis process of verb temporality using Reichenbach’s tense system, a language-independent system which describes tense as relations among linguistic and extralinguistic temporal entities. Several difficulties arise from the deep analysis required for classification into Reichenbach’s categories. They regard establishing the logical sequence of clauses in the skeletal...
