Semantics of Context-Free Languages

by Donald E. Knuth - In Mathematical Systems Theory , 1968
"... "Meaning " may be assigned to a string in a context-free language by defining "at-tributes " of the symbols in a derivation tree for that string. The attributes can be de-fined by functions associated with each production in the grammar. This paper examines the implications of th ..."

Basic concepts and taxonomy of dependable and secure computing

by Algirdas Avizienis, Jean-claude Laprie, Brian Randell, Carl Landwehr - IEEE TDSC , 2004
"... This paper gives the main definitions relating to dependability, a generic concept including as special case such attributes as reliability, availability, safety, integrity, maintainability, etc. Security brings in concerns for confidentiality, in addition to availability and integrity. Basic defin ..."

A standardized set of 260 pictures: Norms for name agreement, image agreement, familiarity, and visual complexity

by Joan Gay Snodgrass, Mary Vanderwart - JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY: HUMAN LEARNING AND MEMORY , 1980
"... In this article we present a standardized set of 260 pictures for use in experiments investigating differences and similarities in the processing of pictures and words. The pictures are black-and-white line drawings executed according to a set of rules that provide consistency of pictorial represent ..."

The intercorrelations among the four measures were low, suggesting that the) ' are indices of different

Culture and the self: Implications for cognition, emotion, and motivation

by Hazel Rose Markus, Shinobu Kitayama - Psychological Review , 1991
"... People in different cultures have strikingly different construals of the self, of others, and of the interdependence of the 2. These construals can influence, and in many cases determine, the very nature of individual experience, including cognition, emotion, and motivation. Many Asian cultures have ..."

. In contrast, individuals seek to maintain their independence from others by attending to the self and by discovering and expressing their unique inner attributes. As proposed herein, these construals are even more powerful than previously imagined. Theories of the self from both psychology and anthropology

Comparison of parametric representations for monosyllabic word recognition in continuously spoken sentences

by Steven B. Davis, Paul Mermelstein - ACOUSTICS, SPEECH AND SIGNAL PROCESSING, IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON , 1980
"... Several parametric representations of the acoustic signal were compared as to word recognition performance in a syllable-oriented continuous speech recognition system. The vocabulary in-cluded many phonetically similar monosyllabic words, therefore the emphasis was on ability to retain phonetically ..."

of the mel-frequency cepstrum coefficients may be attributed to the fact that they better represent the perceptually relevant aspects of the short-term speech spectrum.

Motivation through the Design of Work: Test of a Theory. Organizational Behavior and Human Performance,

by ] Richard Hackman , Grec R Oldham , 1976
"... A model is proposed that specifies the conditions under which individuals will become internally motivated to perform effectively on their jobs. The model focuses on the interaction among three classes of variables: (a) the psychological states of employees that must be present for internally motiv ..."

motivated work behavior to develop; (b) the characteristics of jobs that can create these psychological states; and (c) the attributes of individuals that determine how positively a person will respond to a complex and challenging job. The model was tested for 658 employees who work on 62 different jobs

Illusion and well-being: A social psychological perspective on mental health.

by Shelley E Taylor , Jonathon D Brown , Nancy Cantor , Edward Emery , Susan Fiske , Tony Green-Wald , Connie Hammen , Darrin Lehman , Chuck Mcclintock , Dick Nisbett , Lee Ross , Bill Swann , Joanne - Psychological Bulletin, , 1988
"... Many prominent theorists have argued that accurate perceptions of the self, the world, and the future are essential for mental health. Yet considerable research evidence suggests that overly positive selfevaluations, exaggerated perceptions of control or mastery, and unrealistic optimism are charac ..."
Abstract - Cited by 988 (20 self) - Add to MetaCart
taxonomy of illusions is, to some extent, arbitrary. Many researchers have studied biases in the processing of self-relevant information and have given their similar phenomena different names. There is, however, considerable overlap in findings, and three that consistently emerge can be labeled

Reexamining the Cluster Hypothesis: Scatter/Gather on Retrieval Results

by Marti A. Hearst, Jan O. Pedersen , 1996
"... We present Scatter/Gather, a cluster-based document browsing method, as an alternative to ranked titles for the organization and viewing of retrieval results. We systematically evaluate Scatter/Gather in this context and find significant improvements over similarity search ranking alone. This resul ..."
Abstract - Cited by 480 (5 self) - Add to MetaCart
. This result provides evidence validating the cluster hypothesis which states that relevant documents tend to be more similar to each other than to non-relevant documents. We describe a system employing Scatter/Gather and demonstrate that users are able to use this system close to its full potential. 1

The Task-Relevant Attribute Representation Can Mediate the Simon Effect

by An Tang, Xiao Zhao, Antao Chen , 2013
"... Researchers have previously suggested a working memory (WM) account of spatial codes, and based on this suggestion, the present study carries out three experiments to investigate how the task-relevant attribute representation (verbal or visual) in the typical Simon task affects the Simon effect. Exp ..."

An Analysis of the Requirements Traceability Problem

by Orlena C. Z. Gotel, Anthony C. W. Finkelstein , 1993
"... In this paper1, we investigate and discuss the underlying nature of the requirements traceability problem. Our work is based on empirical studies, involving over 100 practitioners, and an evaluation of current support. We introduce the distinction between pre-requirements specification (pre-RS) trac ..."

-RS) traceability and post-requirements specification (post-RS) traceability, to demonstrate why an all-encompassing solution to the problem is unlikely, and to provide a framework through which to understand its multifaceted nature. We report how the majority of the problems attributed to poor requirements
