A Comparative Evaluation of a New Unsupervised Sentence Boundary Detection Approach on Documents in English and Portuguese
No full textIn this paper, we describe a new unsupervised sentence boundary detection system and present a comparative study evaluating its performance against dierent systems found in the literature that have been used to perform the task of automatic text segmentation into sentences for English and Portuguese documents. The results achieved by this new approach were as good as those of the previous systems, especially considering that the method does not require any additional training resources
In Situ Spectroscopy for Mechanistic Studies in Semiconductor Photocatalysis
No full textA detailed understanding of the underlying mechanisms of the functional principles, limiting bottlenecks, and failure is required to enable knowledge-based design of optimally working photocatalytic materials. This chapter summarizes current approaches to study photocatalysts under operating, i.e. in situ, conditions with methods to chemically resolve key changes and intermediates during photocatalytic action. Emphasis is put on spectroscopic methods, which can contribute to completing the mechanistic puzzle by adding chemically specific kinetic information on the photocatalyst bulk, interfaces, and relevant adsorbates.</p

The Effect of Generalized and Driving Anxiety on Driving Skill and Situation Awareness
No full textRates of generalized anxiety have increased dramatically in recent years, particularly in young adults. A substantial percentage of adults of all ages report anxiety while driving, even if they do not experience generalized anxiety. Anxiety can impair a person while driving and could potentially lead to unsafe driving behaviors. When combined with generalized anxiety, the effect of driving anxiety on driving performance may be exacerbated. In addition, previous work indicates that anxiety can impact an individual’s awareness of objects in the environment due to increased cognitive load. Because of this, it is important to study the effects that generalized anxiety and driving anxiety have on driving skills and situation awareness. We hypothesized that those with both driving anxiety and generalized anxiety would show lower situation awareness skills, as well as lower scores in driving behavior measures, such as lanekeeping and speed variability, when compared to individuals with either generalized or driving anxiety (but not both) or to individuals with neither generalized nor driving anxiety. In the present study, 29 young adult students from The Ohio State University were given four questionnaires (the Driving Cognitions Questionnaire (Ehlers et al., 2007), the Driving Behavior Survey (Clapp et al., 2011), the Driving Situations Questionnaire (Taylor & Deane, 2000), and the GAD-7 (Spitzer et al., 2006), to assess levels of generalized or driving anxiety. Participants then drove a scenario in a highly immersive motion-base driving simulator, during which they performed a situation awareness task and responded to “critical” events in the scenario. Overall, the results suggested that the presence of general anxiety, driving anxiety, or a combination of the two does impact driving performance and lower situation awareness. Results are discussed in terms of potential mitigations to reduce driver anxiety, such as creating simulated driving training courses in which anxious drivers could practice real-world situations before encountering them on the road.No embargoAcademic Major: Psycholog
Pathé City
No full textDetail of ornamentation on tower facade and base of glass-clad spiral staircase; Wils early works espoused De Stijl. His later works of 1925-1935 showed the influence of Functionalism, for example, the Citroen building (1929) and the cinema City Theater (1935), both in Amsterdam; the latter used a steel frame and was hailed as a prime example of functionalist building. The City Theater opened on 29th October 1935 with the Austrian film “Episode” starring Paula Wessely. The original interior design (now lost, remodeled) was by German architect Oscar Rosendahl and had a seating capacity of 1,830. It had an automatic fire sprinkler system, unusual for the time. The City was equipped with a Strunk theatre organ, which still exists. It also originally included a cafe and ballroom. It is now owned by the Pathé chain; the exterior restored in 2010 (with some alterations), the interior has been competely altered and the large auditorium divided.

Trinity, polyphony and pastoral relationships
No full textThe author explores the Christian doctrine of the Trinity to shed light on the nature of the pastoral ministry. Using the trinitarian term, "polyphony" (David Cunningham) for this purpose, he explicates unity and difference as key polyphonic categories in the doctrine of the Trinity. The author suggests that the polyphonic notes sounded by pastoral caregivers are toughness and tenderness, woundedness and health, wisdom and folly, and communion, nearness and distance

On the relative Gersten conjecture for Milnor K-theory in the smooth case
No full textWe show that the Gersten complex for the (improved) Milnor K-sheaf on a smooth scheme over an excellent discrete valuation ring is exact except at the first place and that exactness at the first place may be checked at the discrete valuation ring associated to the the generic point of the special fiber. This complements results of Gillet and Levine for K-theory, Geisser for motivic cohomology and Schmidt and Strunk and the author for étale cohomology.Corrected, published versio
