by Urie Bronfenbrenner , Josephine Arastah , Mavis Hetherington , Richard Lerner , Jeylan T Mortimer , Joseph H Pleck , Lea Pulkinnen , Michael Rutter , Klaus Schneewind , Diana Slaughter - Developmental Psychology, , 1986
"... This review collates and examines critically a theoretically convergent but widely dispersed body of research on the influence of external environments on the functioning of families as contexts of human development. Investigations falling within this expanding domain include studies of the interac ..."

Linked Data -- The story so far

by Christian Bizer, et al.
"... The term Linked Data refers to a set of best practices for publishing and connecting structured data on the Web. These best practices have been adopted by an increasing number of data providers over the last three years, leading to the creation of a global data space containing billions of assertion ..."

We describe progress to date in publishing Linked Data on the Web, review applications that have been developed

Economic analysis of social interactions

by Charles F. Manski - JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVES , 2000
"... Economists have long been ambivalent about whether the discipline should focus on the analysis of markets or should be concerned with social interactions more generally. Recently the discipline has sought to broaden its scope while maintaining the rigor of modern economic analysis. Major theoretical ..."

theoretical developments in game theory, the economics of the family, and endogenous growth theory have taken place. Economists have also performed new empirical research on social interactions, but the empirical literature does not show progress comparable to that achieved in economic theory. This paper

PDDL2.1: An Extension to PDDL for Expressing Temporal Planning Domains

by Maria Fox, Derek Long , 2003
"... In recent years research in the planning community has moved increasingly towards application of planners to realistic problems involving both time and many types of resources. For example, interest in planning demonstrated by the space research community has inspired work in observation scheduling, ..."

support for these stages as well as for a finite and common set of change processes used to progress through the stages. Research to date supports a transtheoretical model of change that systematically integrates the stages with processes of change from diverse theories of psychotherapy.

The particel swarm: Explosion, stability, and convergence in a multi-dimensional complex space

by Maurice Clerc, James Kennedy - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTION
"... The particle swarm is an algorithm for finding optimal regions of complex search spaces through interaction of individuals in a population of particles. Though the algorithm, which is based on a metaphor of social interaction, has been shown to perform well, researchers have not adequately explained ..."
