The use of DOI persistent identifiers has become an attractive mechanism for citing datasets in articles. However, taking the users’ interests into account requires careful consideration of the way in which we apply these identifiers. Our objective is the application of DOIs in such a way that individual datasets are properly cited while presenting the citations to the reader in a user-friendly manner. This is achieved by making judicious use of the metadata structure provided by DataCite.

AbstractThis paper outlines an account of conditionals, the evidential account, which rests on the idea that a conditional is true just in case its antecedent supports its consequent. As we will show, the evidential account exhibits some distinctive logical features that deserve careful consideration. On the one hand, it departs from the material reading of ‘if then’ exactly in the way we would like it to depart from that reading. On the other, it significantly differs from the non-material accounts which hinge on the Ramsey Test, advocated by Adams, Stalnaker, Lewis, and others.

We prove that every Legendrian knot in the tight contact structure of the [Formula: see text]-sphere is determined by the contactomorphism type of its exterior. Moreover, by giving counterexamples we show this to be not true for Legendrian links in the tight [Formula: see text]-sphere. On the way a new user-friendly formula for computing the Thurston–Bennequin invariant of a Legendrian knot in a surgery diagram is given.

Because of the availability of user-friendly software and the affordability of hardware, computers have become a common means of organizational communication. Users have had to change the way they process thoughts and ideas and to transfer them into hard-copy documentation. The integration of the computer into the business communication curriculum allows the instructor to provide a relevant and practical educational experience for college students. This article examines the importance of incorporating hands-on usage of a microcomputer in the business communication class and discusses computer applications and teaching strategies for text editing, punctuation review, and grammar assistance.

Foreword Start-up future It has felt like Covid-19 had a stranglehold on us. But we haven‘t allowed ourselves to be defeated. On the contrary, we are taking advantage of the opportunities that arise as a result. Not only the long-overdue push towards digitalization, for example, but also the time gained by making fewer journeys. Those who show strength now and position themselves for the future will win. And that is exactly the reason why we have been preparing ELIV 2021 with such a lot of enthusiasm. As usual, we have prepared an up-to-date program with the familiar mixture of technically demanding and strategic papers and are sure that the ELIV platform will once again be a trendsetter for the automotive industry. The CASE megatrends (Connected, Autonomous, Shared, Electric) continue to disrupt the industry. In the Connect environment, there is still a struggle for user-friendly services and competition amongst digital ecosystems is in full swing. The entry of powerful central computers into electronic architectures poses major challenges for all parties involved. On the way from Level 2 to Levels 3, 4 and 5 all manufacturers are cur...

Understanding mathematical concepts is many-folded. Traditional mathematics mostly emphasizes the algebraic/analytical aspect of a problem with minimal reference to its graphical aspect and/or numerical one. In a modern learning environment, however, multiple representations of concepts are proving to be essential for the teaching of mathematics. The availability of user-friendly dynamical software programs has paved the way for a radical yet smooth way for changing the way mathematical concepts are perceived. This chapter presents some of the author’s attempts for employing innovative methods in teaching topics in calculus, in differential and difference equations. The focus is on the use of dynamical programs that boost the visual component of the topics being investigated, hence contributing to a more complete understanding of these topics.

The rate of growth in the amount of information available in the World Wide Web has not been followed by similar advances in the way this information is organized and exploited. Web adaptation seeks to address this issue by transforming the topology of a Web site to help users in their browsing tasks. In this sense, Web usage mining techniques have been employed for years to study how the Web is used in order to make Web sites more user-friendly. The Semantic Web is an ambitious initiative aiming to transform the Web to a well-organized source of information. In particular, apart from the unstructured information of today’s Web, the Semantic Web will contain machine-processable metadata organized in ontologies. This will enhance the way we search the Web and can even allow for automatic reasoning on Web data with the use of software agents. Semantic Web adaptation brings traditional Web adaptation techniques into the new era of the Semantic Web. The idea is to enable the Semantic Web to be constantly aligned to the users’ preferences. In order to achieve this, Web usage mining and text mining methodologies are employed for the semi-automatic construction and evolution of Web ontologies. This usage-driven evolution of Web ontologies, in parallel with Web topologies evolution, can bring the Semantic Web closer to the users’ expectations.

Abstract Corpora are a useful and important source of evidence for linguistic research, but they are not the only kind of evidence, do not have any special status as evidence, and have their limitations. Recent very user-friendly applications such as GrETEL make it very easy to search in large and richly annotated corpora on the basis of an example sentence and without knowledge of a query language or the exact nature of the linguistic annotations. It is therefore very tempting to use these applications intensively. That is fine, but also dangerous in ways, because in many cases, in order to interpret the results correctly, the researcher must really be aware of the precise nature of the linguistic annotations and of the way in which the user-friendly interface generates a query on the basis of an example sentence. I will illustrate this with several examples. I also sketch some methods for avoiding or mitigating the dangers and argue that the applications should support these methods also in as user-friendly a manner as possible.

Art libraries differ from other academic libraries in their stock provision and in the way they are used. The disadvantages of multi-site libraries are outweighed by the difficulties of fitting the art library into a large central library, and by the advantages to the user of co-ordinated decentralisation. The implications for art libraries of centralised cataloguing systems require careful consideration; other problems include staff structures, the use (and abuse) of quantification, and the degree and type of user education. (Text of a paper presented to the course for senior art librarians on ‘Managing the Arts’, organised by ARLIS and the Polytechnic of North London in December).

Globalisation is continually shaping the way we live, we travel and also the way and structure we work. It is generally acknowledged that there are a number of fundamental factors that play a crucial role in the business life cycle. Management is one of the main pillars of the organization because it provides direction, implementation, and coordination, so that organizations can attain their goals. An organisation’s life depends heavily on the quality of management. If there is any lack within the management element, it may severely limit an organisation’s existence. It is thus imperative to put all the elements in the right shape and place. Yet still this may be insufficient, due to ever growing competitiveness. Vision, strategy and innovation are fundamental in business enterprises but there are other issues related that have an effect to the management and need careful consideration. This study lists a number of specific challenges (namely leadership, innovation and human resources) that businesses and management is encountering and ought to be facing in several decades to come, and offers recommendation to the topics brought forward

What do the graphs in figure 1 have in common? What mathematics is required to generate them? What language might be used to interpret and communicate what they show? These are some of the questions answered by Brynn Foggie, an eighthgrade student who investigated residue designs as a mathematical research project. Residue designs, based on residues (i.e., remainders) obtained from scalar multiplication in modular arithmetic, are intriguing mathematical notions seldom seen in secondary mathematics classrooms. A study of residue designs has excellent potential for introducing students to “elementary concepts of algebra and number theory” in a user-friendly context (Locke 1972, 263).
