Distributed Information Retrieval

by Jamie Callan - In: Advances in Information Retrieval , 2000
"... A multi-database model of distributed information retrieval is presented, in which people are assumed to have access to many searchable text databases. In such an environment, full-text information retrieval consists of discovering database contents, ranking databases by their expected ability to sa ..."

-database experiments. A broad and diverse group of experimental results is presented to demonstrate that the algorithms are effective, efficient, robust, and scalable. 1. INTRODUCTION Wide area networks, particularly the Internet, have transformed how people interact with information. Much of the routine information

Designing for Dynamic Diversity – interfaces for older people

by Peter Gregor, Alan F Newell - Proceedings of 5th ACM/SIGAPH Conf. on Assistive Technologies , 2002
"... In this paper, we describe why designers need to look beyond the twin aims of designing for the ‘typical ’ user and designing “prostheses”. Making accessible interfaces for older people is a unique but many-faceted challenge. Effective applications and interface design needs to address the dynamic d ..."

diversity of the human species. We introduce a new design paradigm, Design for Dynamic Diversity, and a methodology to assist its achievement, User Sensitive Inclusive Design. To support our argument for a new form of design we report experimentation, which indicates that older people have significantly

"... In this article I first develop a particular definition of misrecognition understood as a particular kind of political resistance to formally institutionalized rights of persons and peoples. It is exemplified in the refusal to move from moral rights to legal rights. I therefore provide an institutio ..."

Comparison processes in social judgment: Mechanisms and consequences

by Thomas Mussweiler, Universität Würzburg - Psychological Review , 2003
"... This article proposes an informational perspective on comparison consequences in social judgment. It is argued that to understand the variable consequences of comparison, one has to examine what target knowledge is activated during the comparison process. These informational underpinnings are concep ..."

. These respective subsets of target knowledge build the basis for subsequent target evaluations, so that similarity testing typically leads to assimilation whereas dissimilarity testing typically leads to contrast. The model is proposed as a unifying conceptual framework that integrates diverse findings

DIVERSION

by William Hare The Murderer
"... The story of Burke and Hare has proved an endless source of morbid fascination, inspiring numerous books, several films (with another to be released this autumn), poetry, songs, plays and even a musical. The rise of the Anatomy Schools depended on the ghoulish activities of the ‘Resurrection Men’, w ..."

The Ulstermen, Burke and Hare, with impeccable entrepreneurial zeal, opted to cut out the middlemen in the supply chain. Their crime of murdering 16 people by suffocation and selling the bodies

Interruption of People in Human-Computer Interaction: A General Unifying Definition of Human Interruption and Taxonomy

by Daniel C. Mcfarlane, Daniel C. Mcfarlane , 1997
"... User-interruption in human-computer interaction (HCI) is an increasingly important problem. Many of the useful advances in intelligent and multitasking computer systems have the significant side effect of greatly increasing user-interruption. This previously innocuous HCI problem has become critical ..."

This new definition is supported with an array of postulates, assertions, and a taxonomy of human interruption to facilitate its practical

Self-determination and persistence in a real-life setting: Toward a motivational model of high school dropout.

by Robert J Vallerand , Michelle S Fbrtier , Frederic Guay - Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, , 1997
"... The purpose of this study was to propose and test a motivational model of high school dropout. The model posits that teachers, parents, and the school administration's behaviors toward students influence students' perceptions of competence and autonomy. The less autonomy supportive the so ..."

However, motivation is still important, as it plants the seed (the intentions) that will eventually grow into behavior. Second, using

Sociable Machines: Expressive Social Exchange Between Humans and Robots

by Cynthia L. Breazeal, Rodney Brooks, Cynthia L. Breazeal , 2000
