- 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 ..."

section). Actual dropout behavior was assessed through a dichotomous variable that reflected enrollment status the following fall semester (0 = re-enrolled; 1 = dropped out). The variance-covariance matrix of the 22 observed variables was used as the database for the analysis. The variance
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 ..."

Information based intonation synthesis
- In Proceedings of the ARPA Workshop on Human Language Technology
, 1994
"... This paper presents a model for generating prosodically ap-propriate synthesized responses to database queries using Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG- cf. [22]), a for-malism which easily integrates the notions of syntactic con-stituency, prosodic phrasing and information structure. The model det ..."

A Unified Approach to Data Modeling for a Class of Image Database Applications
- in IEEE Transactions on Data and Knowledge Discovery
, 1994
"... Recently, there has been widespread interest in various kinds of database management systems for managing information from images. Image Retrieval (IR) problem is concerned with retrieving images that are relevant to users' requests from a large collection of images, referred to as the image da ..."

introduced a unified framework for retrieval in image databases in [22]. Our approach to the image retrieval problem is based on the premise that it is possible to develop a data model and an associated retrieval model that can address the needs of a class of image retrieval applications. The key to domain
Teaching the Use of Complex IT in Specific Domains: Developing, Assessing and Refining a Curriculum Development Framework
"... Introduction This article describes the process undertaken to develop and validate a tool to measure students' perceptions of their information technology (IT) fluency skills. Why is this important? There is a growing concern that students today are not prepared to live, learn, and work in a t ..."

The effect of observational learning on students' performance, processes, and motivation in two creative domains
"... Background. Previous research has shown that observation can be effective for learning in various domains, for example, argumentative writing and mathematics. The question in this paper is whether observational learning can also be beneficial when learning to perform creative tasks in visual and ve ..."

We found positive effects of observation on creative products, creative processes, and motivation in the visual domain. In the verbal domain, observation seemed to affect the creative process, but not the other
Collapsing three-manifolds under a lower curvature bound

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to completely characterize the topology of threedimensional Riemannian manifolds with a uniform lower bound of sectional curvature which converges to a metric space of lower dimension. Introduction We study the topology of three-dimensional Riemannian manifolds ..."

Multilingual modeling of cross-lingual spelling variants
- Information Retrieval
, 2006
"... Technical term translations are important for cross-lingual information retrieval. In many languages, new technical terms have a common origin rendered with different spelling of the underlying sounds, also known as cross-lingual spelling variants (CLSV). To find the best CLSV in a text database ind ..."

We train the model with medical terms in seven languages and test it with terms from varied domains
