Research and Research Training Systems: Towards a Typology

Guy Neave · 1 Jan 2003

The harmonization of data granularity in spatial and temporal terms is an important pre-step to any econometric and machine learning applications. Researchers, who wish to statistically test hypotheses on the relationship between agro-meteorological and European policy outcomes, often observe that agro-meteorological data is typically stored in gridded and temporally detailed form, while many relevant policy…

Games interlocutors play: new adventures in compositionality and conversational implicature

Robin Clark, Ian Campbell Ross · 1 Jan 2006

In "Evaluation of 50 Ω driver circuits for digital signals based on oscilloscope measurements" (Heliyon, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2021) different 50 Ω driver circuits for digital signals were compared and evaluated. Notably, the BJT-based discrete push-pull driver circuit showed a rather modest performance. It is also questionable whether the fast-switching signals of the…

Women, Culture, and Development: A Study of Human Capabilities (Wider Studies in Development Economics)

Martha C. Nussbaum, Jonathan Glover · 1 Jan 1995

This paper provides experimental data on the temperature rise during granular flows in a small-scale rotating drum due to heat generation. All heat is believed to be generated by conversion of some mechanical energy, through mechanisms such as friction and collisions between particles and between particles and walls. Particles of different material types were used,…

Does Virtual Reality Driving Simulation Training Transfer to On-Road Driving in Novice Drivers? A Pilot Study

Caroline Cox, Richard Wharam, Ronald Mouran et al. · 1 Jan 2009

The data presented here includes verbal descriptors used by Finnish, German and Italian subjects to express the quality of an umami taste solution offered in a blind fashion. The dataset refers to the research article "A cross-cultural survey of Umami Familiarity in European Countries" [1]. Data shows that a total of 106 different classes of…

A Sliding Mode Control for Multivariable Systems

Ahmed Sa, Ridha Ben Abdennour · 1 Jan 2007

This article presents magnetic mineral characteristics, trace metals, and REE geochemistry of river sediments that serve as inlets to Lake Limboto, Sulawesi, Indonesia related to article entitled "Lithogenic and anthropogenic components in surface sediments from Lake Limboto as shown by magnetic mineral characteristics, trace metals, and REE geochemistry" [1]. River sediments were obtained from three…
