Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country

Checking recognition: do you remember and do you know in talk-in-interaction
No full textThis dissertation examines how speakers check recognition of knowledge and memory they presume to be shared by their co-participants. In this conversation analytic study, I analyze recognition checks with (do you) remember (Chapter 3), (do) you know (Chapter 4) in American English and German everyday conversation, and in English classroom interaction, specifically, in teacher talk (Chapter 5). Independent of their sequential position or their position within a turn, do you remember and do you know in both English and German are expansions of talk that help to structure sequences and turns to avoid problems of intersubjectivity (Auer, 1984; Schegloff et al., 1977) and to establish common ground among participants.
Chapter 1 introduces the topic of this study. Chapter 2 reviews the notions reference, knowledge and memory and describes the major characteristics of spoken German and teacher talk. Chapter 3 investigates English and German do you remember recognition checks in everyday conversation. I show how speakers back up their claims or (counter-)challenge their coparticipant with do you remember using memory that is assumed to be in the knowledge domain of the recipient (Antaki & Leudar, 1990; Golato, 2012). Chapter 4 explores English and German do you know constructions in everyday interaction. For both English and German do you know constructions, speakers initiate topic shifts and pursue a response after no or insufficient uptake from the participants (Bolden et al., 2012). Chapter 5 examines do you remember and do you know as employed in teacher talk. While do you remember organizes classroom talk by giving step-by-step information or connecting old with new information, do you know either self-repairs teacher talk by reformulating or making a previous teacher question more specific. Chapter 6 summarizes the major findings of this dissertation focusing on a comparison of the two constructions under investigation. It also discusses the limitations of this study and the avenues of future research. This dissertation addresses issues relevant to the field of conversation analysis, pedagogy, second language acquisition research, linguistics, cognitive science and sociology.Item withdrawn by Laura Spradlin ([email protected]) on 2014-10-16T19:15:41Z

You Know What You Write, But Do You Know Your Rights? Understanding and Protecting Your Rights As an Author
No full textWhen you publish a journal article, you sign a copyright or licensing agreement. Do you know what you’re agreeing to when you sign it?
Different journals have different policies: Some journals require you to relinquish your copyright. (You then have to ask permission or even pay to share your article with students and colleagues!) Some journals allow you to retain some rights (e.g., the right to post online). Some journals leave copyright in your hands. (You simply give the journal a non-exclusive license to publish the article.)
How can you find out a journal’s policy? How can you negotiate your contract to make the most of your rights as a scholar, researcher, and author? This presentation covers how you can protect your rights to reproduce, distribute, and display the work you create
What You Show is What You Get!: Gestures for Microtask Crowdsourcing
No full textCrowdsourcing is a valuable tool to gather human input which enables the development of reliable artificial intelligence systems. Microtask platforms like Prolific and Amazon's Mechanical Turk have flourished by creating environments where crowd workers can provide such human input in a diverse and representative manner. Such marketplaces have evolved to support several hundreds of workers in earning their primary livelihood through crowd work. Crowd workers, however, often perform these tasks in sub-optimal work environments with poor ergonomics. Additionally, many of the various microtasks require input via the standard method of a mouse and keyboard and are repetitive in nature. As such, crowd workers who primarily earn their livelihoods in microtask marketplaces are at risk of injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome. By changing the input modality from a mouse and keyboard to gesture-driven input, crowd workers can complete their work while simultaneously improving or safeguarding their physical health. Through three distinct microtasks, we constructed a dataset that enables the exploration of the physical and mental health of crowd workers while using gestures. In this work, we present the process of constructing this dataset, how we applied it, and the future applications we foresee.

Adaptive neural sliding mode control for heterogeneous ship formation keeping considering uncertain dynamics and disturbances
No full textThis paper investigates the formation keeping problem of heterogeneous ships with underactuated inputs, uncertain dynamics, and environmental disturbances. The control objective is to make the heterogeneous followers keep the desired formation while tracking a leader. To solve the problem effectively, a novel virtual leader–follower formation scheme considering the ship heterogeneity is proposed by utilizing the backstepping method, adaptive neural network, and adaptive control law. The stability of the formation control system is proved based on Lyapunov's direct method where all tracking errors are guaranteed to be uniformly ultimately bounded. Finally, simulations and comparisons are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control law.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Transport Engineering and Logistic
Can I touch you online?: Reshaping Touch Communication: An Interdisciplinary Research Agenda.
No full textThis paper introduces art and research on disrupted, touch in networked environments in which realities merge. Aesthetic sensory disruption and haptic distribution are purposefully designed for reflection, in a new type of ‘dialogue space’. The effects of embodied cognition, with respect to trust and experience, are explored in Artistic Social Labs (ASLs) designed to this purpose. Two ASLs are described in this paper.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.System Engineerin

Megawords 200 Terms You Really Need to Know
No full textDo you know your animus from your anomie? Puzzled by all that jargon at university? Now there's no need to be. Richard Osborne has done something very special here. He takes us on an exciting journey into the knowledge required to exist, survive, thrive, in the new millennium, in an interconnected global space that includes cyberpunk and cyborg, chaos theory and conspiracy theories, the postcolonial and the diaspora, hybridity and whiteness, the postmodern and the post-feminist, the digital and the Net, as much as older yet still influential terms like Enlightenment, empiricism, positivism, aesthetics, agency, nationhood, citizenship. 'Osborne writes with wit, wisdom, and insight, always wary of any approach becoming an orthodoxy. He shows how particular concepts arise at particular times with particular authors and intellectual personalities. The entries proceed by illuminating examples, engaging anecdotes, subtle cross-referencing, wide historical contexts.' John Docker, author of Postmodernism and Popular Culture: A Cultural History Written by the author of the international bestseller Philosophy for Beginners, Megawords provides definitions for the key terms every student in the humanities and social sciences needs to kno
