Recent evidence suggests that mobile search is becoming an increasingly important way for mobile users to gain access to online
information, especially as off-portal content continues to grow rapidly. In this paper we ...
Concept and purpose
Virtually all water treatment facilities worldwide generate an enormous amount of water treatment residual (WTR) solids for which environmentally-friendly end-use options are continually being sought ...
For computational intelligence to be useful in creating game agent AI we need to focus on methods that allow the creation and maintenance of models for the environment, which the artificial agents inhabit. Maintaining a ...
We study repeated interaction over time and explore long-run behavior when individuals imitate successful past performers, selecting actions that yielded better average historical performance. For a class of environments ...
User-generated reviews are a common and valuable source of product information, yet little attention has been paid as to how best to present them to end-users. In this paper, we describe a classification-based recommender ...
We estimate productivity dynamics within 4-digit manufacturing industries, using FAME data on UK Companies, from 1994 to 2003. We extend the algorithm in Olley and Pakes (1996) to allow for a selection bias driven by the ...
Persistent inflammation underlies many of the most prevalent diseases in the developed world including atherosclerosis and diabetes. There is a growing appreciation that inflammation and its active resolution may be ...
Recent media attention has focused on the low ranking of Ireland in a major international study on literacy. In this paper we examine the dataset used in these studies to consider the reason behind the low ranking. We find ...

What importance does identity with place have in the ongoing construction and redevelopment of personal and social identities? This paper follows on from recent research which suggests that in an increasingly geographically ...
This paper considers the long-run effects of BSE on meat consumption in the United Kingdom using data from the Expenditure and Food Survey. We estimate a dynamic AIDS demand system of household food consumption, with ...

In 1980, seven out of the seventeen Spanish regions were devolved education
spending responsibility. Using a difference-in-differences approach, which I show
to be particularly credible in this context, I evaluate the ...
We examine whether loss leading pricing strategies in multiproduct retailing should be a target of antitrust policy. Loss leading is modeled in the presence of imperfect competition and consumer information in a stage game ...
Robotics has developed, technologically, to a level where it becomes a field of both interest and importance to other disciplines, either as a proof-of-concept or demonstrative tool, or else as the main focus for implementation ...
Based on first-principles calculations, we have investigated the magnetic properties of the first-row element-doped ZnS semiconductors. Calculations reveal that Be, B, and C dopants can induce magnetic, while N cannot lead ...
