n Robots (and roboticists) increasingly appear

or in their own activity. On a technology platform, individuals can be affected by those around them even without direct interaction Liu 1996, Latané et al. 1995). The technology platform supports the OC's activities and serves to organize its interactions. Beyond supporting the main activities

The current study investigates antecedents and outcomes of motivation to learn across nine Web-based courses. The results supported a cyclical model of motivational processes across courses in a training curriculum. Trainees' course expectations had a positive effect on motivation to learn

information? • Will it be useful, and can I gain that information and its context? GILS was chosen as a case study so that we can begin to understand how meta-data systems support the construction of interoperable systems. What Are the Benefits of Interoperability? As fourth-generation networked technologies

First and foremost, I would like to thank my advisor, Prof. Jennifer E. Michaels. I am most appreciative of your guidance over the last four years, from the basics of elastic waves to both short- and long-term career advice. I have grown a tremendous amount, both profes-sionally and personally

technology, due in large part to the efforts of the Stanford group, continued to point the way toward the practical realization of superconducting accelerators. Plans were made at Stanford and at other laboratories around the world for the construction of a superconducting accelerator or an rf separator

and identify how the knowledge and skills acquired in the degree has enhanced graduates career experiences. The objectives of this study are to employ a focus on MBA graduates perspective of the application of their knowledge and skills in the workplace. This study will construct the investigation through

with knowledge of the support set, for almost all feasible parameter values. Consequently, in the unbiased case, our bound is identical to the MSE of the oracle estimator. Combined with the fact that the CRB is achieved at high signal-to-noise ratios by the maximum likelihood technique, our result provides a new

with diverse computational resources and sensors. A salient feature of Servilla is its support for dynamic discovery and binding to local and remote services, which enables flexible and energy-efficient in-network collaboration among heterogeneous devices. Furthermore, Servilla provides a modular middleware
