Three approaches to qualitative content analysis.

by Hsiu-Fang Hsieh , Sarah E Shannon , 2005
"... Content analysis is a widely used qualitative Researchers regard content analysis as a flexible method for analyzing text data The differentiation of content analysis is usually limited to classifying it as primarily a qualitative versus quantitative research method. A more thorough analysis of th ..."

analysis. We then illustrate the three different approaches to qualitative content analysis with hypothetical studies to explicate the issues of study design and analytical procedures for each approach.

Estimating standard errors in finance panel data sets: comparing approaches.

by Mitchell A Petersen - Review of Financial Studies , 2009
"... Abstract In both corporate finance and asset pricing empirical work, researchers are often confronted with panel data. In these data sets, the residuals may be correlated across firms and across time, and OLS standard errors can be biased. Historically, the two literatures have used different solut ..."

) standard errors and when they diverge. The intent is to provide intuition as to why the different approaches sometimes give different answers and give researchers guidance for their use.

A Survey of Approaches to Automatic Schema Matching

by Erhard Rahm, Philip A. Bernstein - VLDB JOURNAL , 2001
"... Schema matching is a basic problem in many database application domains, such as data integration, E-business, data warehousing, and semantic query processing. In current implementations, schema matching is typically performed manually, which has significant limitations. On the other hand, previous ..."

A computational approach to edge detection

by John Canny - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE , 1986
"... This paper describes a computational approach to edge detection. The success of the approach depends on the definition of a comprehensive set of goals for the computation of edge points. These goals must be precise enough to delimit the desired behavior of the detector while making minimal assumpti ..."

Recognizing human actions: A local SVM approach

by Christian Schüldt, Ivan Laptev, Barbara Caputo - In ICPR , 2004
"... Local space-time features capture local events in video and can be adapted to the size, the frequency and the velocity of moving patterns. In this paper we demonstrate how such features can be used for recognizing complex motion patterns. We construct video representations in terms of local space-ti ..."

-time features and integrate such representations with SVM classification schemes for recognition. For the purpose of evaluation we introduce a new video database containing 2391 sequences of six human actions performed by 25 people in four different scenarios. The presented results of action recognition justify

A social-cognitive approach to motivation and personality

by Carol S. Dweck, Ellen L. Leggett - Psychological Review , 1988
"... Past work has documented and described major patterns of adaptive and maladaptive behavior: the mastery-oriented and the helpless patterns. In this article, we present a research-based model that accounts for these patterns in terms of underlying psychological processes. The model specifies how indi ..."

individuals ' implicit theories orient them toward particular goals and how these goals set up the different patterns. Indeed, we show how each feature (cognitive, affective, and behavioral) of the adaptive and maladaptive patterns can be seen to follow directly from different goals. We then exam

A translation approach to portable ontology specifications

by Thomas R. Gruber - KNOWLEDGE ACQUISITION , 1993
"... To support the sharing and reuse of formally represented knowledge among AI systems, it is useful to define the common vocabulary in which shared knowledge is represented. A specification of a representational vocabulary for a shared domain of discourse — definitions of classes, relations, functions ..."

, including frame-based systems as well as relational languages. This allows researchers to share and reuse ontologies, while retaining the computational benefits of specialized implementations. We discuss how the translation approach to portability addresses several technical problems. One problem is how

Assessing coping strategies: A theoretically based approach

by Charles S. Carver, Michael F. Scheier, Jagdish Kumari Weintraub - Journal of Personality and Social Psychology , 1989
"... We developed a multidimensional coping inventory to assess the different ways in which people respond to stress. Five scales (of four items each) measure conceptually distinct aspects of problem-focused coping (active coping, planning, suppression of competing activities, restraint coping, seek-ing ..."

A Signal Processing Approach To Fair Surface Design

by Gabriel Taubin , 1995
"... In this paper we describe a new tool for interactive free-form fair surface design. By generalizing classical discrete Fourier analysis to two-dimensional discrete surface signals -- functions defined on polyhedral surfaces of arbitrary topology --, we reduce the problem of surface smoothing, or fai ..."

Some constraints can be imposed without any modification of the algorithm, while others require the solution of a small associated linear system of equations. In particular, vertex location constraints, vertex normal constraints, and surface normal discontinuities

Implementing Fault-Tolerant Services Using the State Machine Approach: A Tutorial

by Fred B. Schneider - ACM COMPUTING SURVEYS , 1990
"... The state machine approach is a general method for implementing fault-tolerant services in distributed systems. This paper reviews the approach and describes protocols for two different failure models--Byzantine and fail-stop. System reconfiguration techniques for removing faulty components and i ..."
