In: Efthimiou E, Kouroupetroglou G, eds. Gestures in Embodied Communication and Human-Computer Interaction. Berlin/Heidelberg, Germany: Springer; 2012: 129-138.Staccato, the Segmentation Agreement Calculator According
to Thomann, is a software tool for assessing the degree of agreement of multiple segmentations of some time-related data (e.g., gesture phases or sign language constituents). The software implements an assessment procedure developed by Bruno Thomann and will be made publicly available. The article discusses the rationale of the agreement assessment procedure and points at future extensions of Staccato

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Interaction between Speech and Gesture: Strategies for Pointing to Distant Objects
No full textPfeiffer T. Interaction between Speech and Gesture: Strategies for Pointing to Distant Objects. In: Efthimiou E, Kouroupetroglou G, eds. Gestures in Embodied Communication and Human-Computer Interaction, 9th International Gesture Workshop, GW 2011. Athens, Greece: National and Kapodistrian University of Athens; 2011: 109-112.Referring to objects using multimodal deictic expressions is an important form of communication. This work addresses the question on how content is distributed between the modalities speech and gesture by comparing deictic pointing gestures to objects with and without speech. As a result, two main strategies used by participants to adapt their gestures to the condition were identified. This knowledge can be used, e.g., to improve the naturalness of pointing gestures employed by embodied conversational agents

EPHECT II: Exposure assessment to household consumer products
No full textWithin the framework of the EPHECT project (Emissions, exposure patterns and health effects of consumer products in the EU), irritative and respiratory health effects were assessed in relation to acute and long-term exposure to key and emerging indoor air pollutants emitted during household use of selected consumer products. In this context, inhalation exposure assessment was carried out for six selected 'target' compounds (acrolein, formaldehyde, benzene, naphthalene, d-limonene and α-pinene). This paper presents the methodology and the outcomes from the micro-environmental modelling of the 'target' pollutants following single or multiple use of selected consumer products and the subsequent exposure assessment. The results indicate that emissions from consumer products of benzene and α-pinene were not considered to contribute significantly to the EU indoor background levels, in contrast to some cases of formaldehyde and d-limonene emissions in Eastern Europe (mainly from cleaning products). The group of housekeepers in East Europe appears to experience the highest exposures to acrolein, formaldehyde and benzene, followed by the group of the retired people in North, who experiences the highest exposures to naphthalene and α-pinene. High exposure may be attributed to the scenarios developed within this project, which follow a 'most-representative worst-case scenario' strategy for exposure and health risk assessment. Despite the above limitations, this is the first comprehensive study that provides exposure estimates for 8 population groups across Europe exposed to 6 priority pollutants, as a result of the use of 15 consumer product classes in households, while accounting for regional differences in uses, use scenarios and ventilation conditions of each region
