The model was tested for 658 employees who work on 62 different jobs

of quantitative reviews have demonstrated that personality inventories can be useful predictors of job performance, particularly if specific, job-relevant personality constructs are used to predict spe-

system also makes it easy to construct photo tours of scenic or historic locations, and to annotate image details, which are automatically transferred to other relevant images. We demonstrate our system on several large personal photo collections as well as images gathered from Internet photo sharing

However, extrinsic motivation is argued to vary considerably in its relative autonomy and thus can either reflect external control or true self-regulation. The relations of both

These design elements encompass issues about methods, the phenomena under investigation, paradigmatic framework

having a stream of experiences is constructed when memes compete for replication by human hosts. Some memes survive by being promoted as personal beliefs, desires, opinions and possessions, leading to the formation of a memeplex (or selfplex). Any machine capable of imitation would acquire this type

This general concept is refined into the view that education and educational research is the construc-tion and reconstruction of personal and social stories; learners, teachers, and researchers are storytellers and characters in their own

Abstract We present a system for recognizing human faces from single images out of a large database containing one image per person. The task is difficult because of image variation in terms of position, size, expression, and pose. The system collapses most of this variance by extracting concise
