Materials for an exploratory theory of the network society.
- The British Journal of Sociology
, 2000
"... ABSTRACT This article aims at proposing some elements for a grounded theor y of the network society. The network society is the social structure characteristic of the Information Age, as tentatively identi ed by empirical, cross-cultural investigation. It permeates most societies in the world, in v ..."

Within the limits of tentative elaboration, this exercise intends to open the way for a theoretically meaningful codi
Predictive Learning Models for Concept Drift
, 2001
"... Concept drift means that the concept about which data is obtained may shift from time to time, each time after some minimum permanence. Except for this minimum permanence, the concept shifts may not have to satisfy any further requirements and may occur infinitely often. Within this work is studi ..."

is studied to what extent it is still possible to predict or learn values for a data sequence produced by drifting concepts. Various ways to measure the quality of such predictions, including martingale betting strategies and density and frequency of correctness, are introduced and compared with one
Student-centered teaching meets new media: Concept and case study
- IEEE Educational Technology & Society
, 2002
"... There exists empirical evidence proving that students who are given the freedom to explore areas based on their personal interests, and who are accompanied in their learning by a supportive, understanding facilitator, not only achieve superior academic results but also develop socially and grow pers ..."

Teaching law concepts within mainstreamed middle school social studies settings
- Diagnostique
, 1996
"... Reports of increased juvenile crime rates abound, and arrest rates among adolescents are also growing. Tragically, adolescents with learning disabilities account for a sizable portion of those disturbing statistics. Because many adolescents, including those with learning disabilities, do not anticip ..."

Engineering the Future*: a sustainable concept?
"... Engineering the Future (EtF) is a 3 year EPSRC funded Project based in the Universities of Strathclyde and Glasgow which seeks to explore original ways of addressing the challenges posed by the predicted shortfall between the numbers entering university engineering courses and the growing demands fo ..."

Sensory adaptation within a Bayesian framework for perception
- In
, 2006
"... Abstract We extend a previously developed Bayesian framework for perception to account for sensory adaptation. We first note that the perceptual effects of adaptation seems inconsistent with an adjustment of the internally represented prior distribution. Instead, we postulate that adaptation increa ..."

- Mol. Biol. Evol.
, 2000
"... Methods such as maximum parsimony (MP) are frequently criticized as being statistically unsound and not being based on any ''model.'' On the other hand, advocates of MP claim that maximum likelihood (ML) has some fundamental problems. Here, we explore the connection between the ..."

"... Computer-mediated communication (CMC) technologies have begun to play an increasingly important role in the teaching of foreign/second (L2) languages. Its use in this context is supported by a growing body of CMC research that highlights the importance of the negotiation of meaning and computer-base ..."

Wearable learning tools
"... In life people must learn whenever and wherever they experience something new. Until recently computing technology could not support such a notion, the constraints of size, power and cost kept computers under the classroom table, in the office or in the home. Recent advances in miniaturization have ..."
