Abstract:

Classical biocontrol systems are sometimes treated as an exercise in community assembly. As such, they include multiple species interactions. This thesis explores multi-species aspects in classical weed biocontrol, using thistles as a case study. The abundance, phenology and impact of three biocontrol agents were followed on their target host, Carduus nutans L. and are described, for the first time in New Zealand for two of them (Urophora solstitialis L. and Trichosirocalus horridus sensu (Panzer)). Composition in New Zealand of the recently revised Trichosirocalus weevil species complex was surveyed nation-wide. One species only was found, albeit exhibiting a wider host range than anticipated from the published revision. Interspecific interactions and individual and combined effect of multiple biocontrol agents on C. nutans were tested in cage setups; the effect on the weed population was then estimated by manipulations of an existing matrix population model for this weed in New Zealand. The potentially better seed predator (U. solstitialis) was outcompeted by the worse seed predator (Rhinocyllus conicus (Froehlich)) which has similar niche preference. Urophora solstitialis was also adversely impacted by the crown-root feeder (T. horridus). Trichosirocalus horridus affected C. nutans survival, even at the medium density used, and significantly reduced potential seed production by 33%; in field densities, T. horridus is likely to affect C. nutans even more. Urophora solstitialis was estimated to destroy about 28% of the remaining seed in the absence of the other agents, and about 17% in the presence of T. horridus. The estimated combined effect of T. horridus and U. solstitalis on C. nutans population growth rate was greater than the effect of either agent alone. In the face of growing weed invasions, multiple thistle species were used to test ‘multi-targeting’ as a novel approach to target groups of ‘sleeper weeds’. Both in a field experiment and in a field survey, the seed predator R. conicus was found to attack and damage some ‘non-target’ thistle species more in the presence of the target species (C. nutans) than in its absence; however, levels of attack on non-target species were always modest. The ultimate goal of biocontrol is to reduce weed populations. A field survey revealed that current population densities of multiple thistle species in Canterbury are not obviously lower than in the mid 1980s, when only R. conicus was present. This may be because successful biocontrol has reduced the management input required to maintain the same thistle density.

Abstract:

"Sem resumo feito pelo autor"; - Os sistemas salobros litorais, estuários e lagunas, despertaram desde sempre o interesse da Humanidade, constituindo vias de navegação ou locais preferenciais para o desenvolvimento urbano e industrial, e são, por outro lado, utilizados como zonas de pesca e de cultivo de peixes, bivalves e crustáceos. Consideram-se os estuários como uma importante fonte de alimento para os consumidores primários que se localizam, na sua grande maioria, no sedimento fazendo parte do povoamento bentónico (McLUSKY, 1981). Entre os consumidores primários existentes nos sistemas salobros litorais sobressaiam os moluscos bivalves que desempenham um importante papel na estruturação da teia trófica do ecossistema e que constituem, sob o ponto de vista humano, um valioso recurso natural. O estudo da bioecologia destes moluscos é de grande importância pois, deste modo, não só se tem acesso ao modo como o seu ciclo biológico se processa como se reconhecem interdependências entre as espécies e o meio. Estes dados contribuem, assim, para o aprofundamento do conhecimento sobre as espécies e, ao dar indicações sobre a sua inserção no ecossistema, permitem o entendimento de processos mais globais. O objectivo do presente trabalho é o estudo da biologia e de aspectos da ecologia de duas espécies de lamelibrânquios do género Cardium (berbigão). Este estudo integra-se num estudo colectivo sobre os sistemas lagunares e "estuarino-lagunares" da Costa Sudoeste de Portugal Continental que tem vindo a ser efectuado, desde 1984, por elementos do Departamento de Ecologia da Universidade de Évora e do Laboratório Marítimo da Guia da Faculdade de Ciências de Lisboa, nomeadamente sobre as Lagoas de Santo André, Melides e Sancha (COSTA et al ., 1985; FONSECA, et al ., 1987; BERNARDO et al ., 1987; CANCELA DA FONSECA, 1989; CANCELA DA FONSECA et al ., 1989; BERNARDO, 1990) e os sistemas "estuarino-lagunares" de Odeceixe, Aljezur e Carrapateira (MAGALHÃES et al ., 1987; COSTA et al ., 1988; CRISTO et al ., 1989; COSTA et al ., 1990; DUARTE et al ., 1990). Este estudo cent ra-se em Cardium edule e Cardium glaucum cujo reconhecimento como duas espécies válidas só foi efectuado em 1958 por HOPNERPETERSEN. Regista-se, no entanto, ainda um certo cepticismo por parte de alguns investigadores relativamente a este reconhecimento. Os trabalhos desenvolvidos nas últimas décadas que abordam a fisiologia e ecologia destas espécies confirmam a sua existência como duas espécies distintas (RYGG, 1970; BOYDEN, 197la; JELNES et al., 1971; BROCK, 1978; 1979; 1980a; 1980b; 1987; ANSELL, 1981). As dificuldades sentidas na distinção dos exemplares provenientes do Sudoeste de Portugal levaram à adopção de metodologias bioquímicas. Estas permitiram estabelecer um conjunto de características morfológicas que identificam as duas espécies para todo o litoral de Portugal. O estudo bio-ecológico realizou-se nos sistemas estuarino-lagunares de Odeceixe e de Aljezur. Estes sistemas de pequenas dimensões onde ocorre, com alguma periodicidade, uma alternância entre uma fase lagunar e uma fase estuarina têm uma dimensão que facilita a compreensão dos processos dinâmicos e ecológicos. Este estudo reporta-se a um período em fase estuarina. Os estudos, em número apreciável, sobre Cardium edule dizem respeito a quase toda a sua área de distribuição geográfica: Norte da Europa (BAGGERMAN, 1953; HOPNER-PETERSON, 1958; VAN URK, 1973; BROCK, 1979; MOLLER & ROSENBERG, 1991) França (DUCROTOY et al .,1987; DESPREZ et al .,1987; GUILLOU et a] ., 1990), Espanha (MEJUTO, 1984a, 1984b; SAAVEDRA-MARTIN, 1984; NAVARRO et al ., 1989), Portugal (VILELA, 1947; GORDO, 1982; MOREIRA, 1988). Os dados existentes para Cardium glaucum são relativos a populações estuarinas do Norte da Europa (HOPNER-PETERSON, 1958; TULKKI, 1961; RUSSELL, 1971; BOYDEN & RUSSELL, 1972; BARNES, 1973; BROCK, 1979; WOLOWICZ, 1984) e a populações lagunares mais ou menos isoladas do mar (IVELL, 1979a, 1979b; WOLOWICZ, 1987a; ZAOUALI, 1975a, 1975b, 1975c). Justifica-se assim o estudo de Cardium edule e Cardium glaucum nestes ecossistemas do Sudoeste de Portugal por se localizarem na zona intermédia da sua área de distribuição geográfica. O facto de, nestes sistemas, as populações das duas espécies se inserirem no mesmo tipo de habitat estuarino possibilita que se proceda a comparações da sua bio-ecologia. Face ao carácter heterogéneo deste trabalho optou-se por apresentar em cada capítulo as metodologias adoptadas, especificando-as unicamente na primeira vez que são utilizadas ao longo do trabalho.

Abstract:

Information technology plays a vital role for the development of smart cards. Smart cardscan change the form of the delivery of services and goods, through the automatedidentification and verification of customers, resulting in significant efficiency gains andultimately lower costs for consumers. People from different jobs of life extract informationfrom these smart cards. Smart cards have the potential benefit to people with the, - right ofprivacy and give users confidence in the trustworthiness of commercial organizations andstate institutions. It can also provide different kinds of facilities to users and as well asorganizations such as access and control. In this paper I have tried to identify the wayssmart card users are facilitated in accessing the control and services of differentorganizations in a better way. I have used different methods for collecting data to identifythe problems associated with smart cards. Then I tried to find out which factors are affectingthe interaction between users and different organizations and creating main problems. In theend, I have given some suggestions for the improvement of interaction between users anddifferent organizations to facilitate them for better control and services as well as accessinginformation.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 30-November 02, 1989 / Town & Country Hotel & Convention Center, San Diego, California
The Voice Main Card (VMC) functions as an enhanced telephone answering machine and is designed as a plug-in card for the IBM PC and compatibles. In addition to standard answering machine functions, the VMC features programmable outgoing message selection, message routing, response to caller's touch tone signals, and remote programming ability. The VMC will answer incoming telephone calls, deliver outgoing messages which are Programmably selectable from as many as 16 digitized audio messages stored on the PC's hard disk, record incoming messages to the hard disk or optionally to an external tape recorder, route messages to a specified receiver, respond to a caller's touch tone signals, and enter a remote programming mode as a result of a special code sent by the caller. Audio messages are processed digitally via A/D and D/A converters which receive and send 8-bit data to and from the IBM PC through a selectable port address. The A/D conversion is implemented with the ADC0802 which is operated at a clock rate of 512 kHz. The D/A conversion is implemented with the DAC0830. Interface with the telephone line is accomplished with the speech circuit TP5700 coupled through opto-couplers. Messages are recorded using an external 600-ohm dynamic microphone and played back through an external 8-ohm speaker. A full-featured, pull-down menu program is provided with the VMC and implements all programmable functions. Data In/Out (I/O) with the card is interrupt-driven to allow apparent simultaneous disk I/O.

Abstract:

This thesis presents the work of developing and testing a programming tool specially designed for children. The purpose of this tool is to make children capable of creating visual simulations and games that consist of actors interacting in a virtual world. The name of the programming tool is Behavior Cards, which comes from the fact that actors are programmed by giving them cards representing different kinds of behaviors. Behaviors are to some extent pre-programmed and can include general events specifying how the actors should act in different situations, in contrast to specifying every possible situation that can occur. The idea is that Behavior Cards should be easier to use than a more traditional text based programming tool, but it should also be expressive within the domain of visual games. These goals can be accomplished by using different types of representations – such as icons, symbols and text – combined with an interaction technique based on direct manipulation of objects. Two versions of Behavior Cards have been developed and tested together with 11-year-old children. The results show that behaviors were useful for programming relatively advanced visual programs in a quick and effective manner, and that the children were able to learn and use the concept for creating simple programs. Further studies are needed to examine if children also can analyze and solve more complex programming problems.

Arbetet som den här uppsatsen beskriver omfattar utveckling och testning av ett programmeringsverktyg för barn. Syftet med verktyget är att barn ska kunna skapa visuella simulationer och spel genom att programmera aktörer som agerar och interagerar med varandra i en värld. Programmeringsverktygets namn är Behavior Cards, vilket kommer av att aktörernas agerande programmeras genom att tilldela dem kort som representerar olika typer av beteenden. Beteenden är till viss del förprogrammerade och kan innehålla generella händelser för hur aktörer ska agera i olika situationer, i motsats till att definiera varje tänkbar situation som kan uppkomma. Tanken är att programmerandet ska vara enklare än med traditionella, textbaserade, programmeringsspråk, men samtidigt kraftfullt inom den specifika domänen. Detta kan åstadkommas genom att använda olika typer av representationer – såsom ikoner, symboler och text – i kombination med en interaktionsteknik baserad på direktmanipulation av objekt. Två prototyper av programmeringsverktyget har utvecklats och testats på barn i 11-årsåldern. Resultaten visar att beteenden är tillämpbart för att programmera relativt avancerade visuella program på ett snabbt och effektivt sätt, och att barnen kunde lära sig och använda konceptet för att skapa enkla program. Det krävs dock fördjupade studier för att ta reda på om barn kan analysera samt lösa mer komplexa programmeringsproblem.

Abstract:

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a set of standards, which allows two devices to transfer messages over a short range of distance of 10 cm. NFC based smart cards and applications are widely used for public transportation, ticketing system and security critical identity cards. NFC contains mainly two proximity smart card specifications ISO 14443 and ISO 18092 for lower level data exchange. However, none of the specifications above provides security mechanism to protect communication between smart card and reader device.Regardless the variety of different application protocols that developers implement on both smart card and reader side, the communication in between is vulnerable and easy to be tempered. With available commodity smart card readers, mobile phone with NFC read/write functionalities. Attacker can monitor and relay messages between card and reader without the actual present of the real smart card. In this scenario, the card holder won't be noticed that his/her card has been used already. This thesis would study and understand a public transportation ticketing system based on DESFire cards. Student would investigate whether replay attack using two proxy devices is possible or not. After establishment of attack, student observes what would be the consequences of the replay attack on public transportation system and the valuable assets attackers can profit on during the attack. Student would develop Android programs on NFC based phones to perform research. Testing environment would be built on legacy Java and C code. Possible attacks experiment would be carried on real public ticketing system. Bases on the findings from research, student will try to recommend solutions to improve the ticket protocol that this system is unaffected by the relay attack or at least minimize the profit that attacker can get.

Abstract:

Recommender systems try to facilitate the decision making process of users, by recommending products such as movies, music and news articles. This work uses a user based recommender system to predict redemption probabilities of different gift cards. That is, the probability that a user redeems a gift card in a store, given that he or she receives it. This work is a base for ranking gift cards in the future. Two collaborative filtering algorithms are evaluated, both based on neighbour recommender methods. The data are provided by the digital gift giving company Wrapp. The nearest neighbours are chosen by similarity, based on the rating of gift cards and the demographic data of the users. The result shows that it is possible to predict redemption probabilities of gift cards with this data. It also shows that it is important to include certain user behaviors when predicting the redemption probabilities. One such example is if a user tends to redeem more or less gift cards than other users. This work does not explicitly show that demographic data are improving the result, compared to a rating data approach, even though the results with demographic data seem promising.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT EFFECT OF RESPONSE CARDS ON ACADEMIC OUTCOMES FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WITHOUT DISABILITIES AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES WHO EXHIBIT CHALLENGING BEHAVIORS by Ellen L. Duchaine Response cards (RC) support effective teaching strategies such as maintaining a brisk pace of instruction, increased opportunities to respond, immediate and frequent corrective feedback, and high rates of behavior specific praise statements; all of which have been effective in increasing student engagement for students with and without emotional and behavioral disorders (E/BD) (Emmer & Stough, 2001; Simonsen et al., 2008; Sutherland, Wehby, & Copeland, 2000). RC during academic instruction are successful in decreasing disruptive behavior, increasing student participation, and increasing academic achievement from the elementary school level to the university level. This study examined teacher implementation of RC at the high school level for students without disabilities and students with disabilities with a history of challenging behaviors (i.e., students with a disability and a behavior intervention plan) in general education classes required for high school graduation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of RC compared to hand raising (HR) in inclusive general education classrooms. An alternating treatment design was implemented to examine the potential functional relation between the use of RC, student engagement, and academic achievement. RC (i.e., 8” x 11” laminated write -on cards) were randomly alternated with the more traditional method of HR which allows one student to respond to each question asked by the teacher. Intervals of time on-task, attempted responses, next day quiz scores, and bi-weekly probe scores were measured and analyzed for target students without disabilities and target students with disabilities. In addition, individual scores of all students in the class were calculated to provide a class mean, allowing further analysis. All sessions were conducted by classroom teachers during daily reviews of academic content. The findings from this study support prior research indicating RC increases student engagement by increasing intervals of time on-task and attempted responses for the majority of students. In one class, three of four target students increased daily quiz scores by 10% or more using RC; and in the second class the mean for daily quiz scores was higher using RC. Although results on next-day quizzes were inconsistent, bi-weekly probes indicate RC increased retention of material learned over time.

Abstract:

The fundamental challenge to prevent species from going extinct is difficult but of grave importance. Halting species from going extinct minimizes the loss of biodiversity. One way of researching biodiversity is by studying species on a genetic level. This creates a dilemma as studying species genetically often requires using destructive sampling and is not desirable or even allowed when studying threatened species. Thus, there is a necessity for alternate sampling methods. In this study both non-lethal and lethal methods were used to gather tissues from the butterfly species Vanessa cardui. The DNA extractions turned out to give varying amounts of DNA, but it was successfully extracted from all the different tissue types. Amplifiable DNA was successfully gained using PCR and confirmed using gel electrophoresis. Existing and newly designed primers for multi-copy genes were used and several of them gave amplifiable DNA. Even if amplifiable DNA has been obtained in other studies, using various tissues, it turned out to only work with a live butterfly’s body in this study.

ATM cards have become an indispensable payment instrument in daily life, which offer functions such as account inquiry, cash withdrawal, payment of tax, and account transfer. However, since it involves the transfer of money, it tends to be used in criminal conducts. Since it is easy to record and replicate magnetic stripe cards, fraudulent withdrawals occur frequently. At present, magnetic stripe cards’ function of cross-bank transactions has been fully terminated in Taiwan and magnetic stripe cards are replaced by chip ATM cards. Besides the functions of magnetic stripe cards, chip ATM cards also offer functions such as web ATM payment and payment at real stores. Chip ATM cards make it possible to distinguish the bogus cards from the authentic ones and verify the user password offline, which greatly enhance the safety of ATM cards. This study investigates the characteristics, evolution, and ATM card fraud incidents, and analyzes the security mechanisms and problems of magnetic stripe cards, chip ATM cards. Finally, an improved solution is proposed. We hope that this paper can be a reference for domestic financial industry and cardholders.

In recent years, consuming finance has become one of the major profit sources of banks. Among them, small credit loan, credit card and cash card have become the main products to be promoted. By doing so, banks hope to obtain more business opportunities, and the growth of cash cards is far more fast. In addition, the cash card extremely similar to goods quality of the credit card and has complementarity, make every bank introduce the business of credit cards and cash cards. the card bank is in order to open up the business, it is strict to verify incompletely, Cause a person to have many cards , the holder does not know how to weigh one's own financial situation and adjust Speed expanded of the personal credit, cause oneself debt. bad debt of the bank to be too much, have formed the debt storm of the card . this research use unobtrusive measures to probe into the relevant card debt question in four respects that the debt consultation mechanism, circulation interest rate of the bank, individual reorganization, asset management corporation and propose solving the suggestion of the debt problem of the card. The results : （1）It is comparatively rational for the circulation interest rate of the bank of our country to compare with various countries, if adjust and lower the interest rate, not only can not solve the debt problem of the card but also cause influence on the economy and society of our country. （2）The debt consultation mechanism can not solve the problem of the high debt group, and this mechanism regulation is too loose, it is apt to be abused by the speculator. （3）Observing America and Japan can solve the financial crisis and bankrupt too much problem of personal credit smoothly, establishment of the debt consultation mechanism and individual reorganization is all very key factors. （4）This research is thought to solve the problem of the card debt, need to establish the debt consultation mechanism with independent character rapidly, manage company's fund sufficiently, can receive debts of the hign debt group, and because have independent character, will be more efficient.

Keeping good relationships with good customer is one of the essential factors of enterprise success. If we prevent customers from churn as soon as possible, we may increase the earnings of an enterprise. This paper is about customer retention of cash card business, and we construct cash card’s churning rate prediction model. The sampling frame is one of the commercial banks in Taiwan. To make sure that our samples in the prediction model are good credit customers, those who used to pay behind time or those who are uncollectible accounts are eliminated. After sieving out the customers, we have about 60 thousand cash card holders in research. The research period is from 2001 to 2005. The main prediction variables are basic information of customer, the dealings between the customers and the bank, and the dealings between the customers and the other banks. Because of the difference between male and female, we construct not only the entirety customer retention prediction model, but also male and female customer retention prediction models. We want to find out which are the main factors to predict customer attrition, and compare these three models to see whether the prediction is better when we separate our sample by gender. We find that the significant variables are different among these three models. The basic population statistic variables which significantly influence the male churning rate are ‘age’, ‘job’, ‘salary per year’ and ‘education’. As for female prediction model, only education variable is significant among the basic population statistic variables. The significant variables which customers dealing with the sample bank and the significant variables which customers dealing with other bank of both male and female prediction model are the same, which include ‘the number of owning other bank’s cash card’, ‘the number of owning other bank’s credit card’, ‘the total credit amount’, ‘the increase cash card debt in the last three months’, ‘the average least pay amount in the last three months’, ‘the average withdrawal amount per month’, ‘the average withdrawal times per month’, ‘the average revenue increase per year’, ‘dealings period’, ‘the first time the cash card use rate up to 90%’and ‘the margin increase of the cash card use rate in the last three months’. The whole prediction rate of the entirety model is higher than the other gender prediction models, but the attrition prediction rate of the entirety model is lower than the both gender prediction models. The type I error of these two different gender prediction models are both lower than the entirety prediction model. In addition, when we use these different gender prediction models to predict customer attrition, and combine these two potential effects together, we find that the bank minimize more loss than the entirety prediction model. In our different gender model, if the bank can retain all its customers who are predicted to lose, it can save loss up to $40,166,000(TWD) more than the entirety prediction model. And if it can only retain 30% its customers who are predicted to lose, it can save $12,054,000(TWD) as well. These findings reveal that the cash card’s churning rate prediction model has good predictability which may increase the revenue of the enterprise. Besides, constructing different gender prediction model is also valuable and is worthy of consideration.

Business cards include many kinds of information such as name, address, andtelephone number. In order to use the information effectively, it is necessaryto extract the information from the cards automatically to build a data base. The goal of this thesis is to extract and recognize characters from color business cards. The styles of business cards varies greatly. Some marks andlines may appear on the cards, and some cards are color. These problems will make the recognition of business cards difficult.To separate the foreground from the background, we assign all pixels into eight color types: black, white, red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, and magenta. Then we calculate a dynamic threshold using the color information to extract the foreground. Next, we extract the characters by four main modules: connected component extraction, local thresholding, mark, line and noise deletion and character grouping. Connected components are found to represent character candidates and local thresholding is used to improve the image quality. Marks,noise and lines are finally deleted from the components extracted using some size information we collect from training business cards. Character grouping isused to group the related characters and correct the character blocks by using the groups. Finally, we send the characters to statistic-based Chinese and English character recognition systems. We show the top ten candidates recognized in a user-friendly Windows-based interface. Users can use a mouse to select correct candidates to replace wrong results. We store the final results in the database.We test 30 business cards, which have Chinese characters, English characters, numerals and punctuation marks. The extraction rate and accuracy rate for our system are 96.97% and 95.43% respectively. The recognition rate for Chinese characters is 88.78% and the average recognition rate for English characters, numerals and punctuation marks can reach 97.58%.

Product Reaction Cards, também designado por Microsoft Desirability Toolkit permiteavaliar as emoções dos utilizadores quando utilizam um site. Este teste contém 118cartões e cada cartão contém uma palavra que se refere a um possível sentimentoque o utilizador poderá sentir durante a experiência. Os sentimentos podem serpositivos ou negativos.O projecto prende-se com a criação de uma Widget HTML. Pretende-se com estaferramenta perceber se é possível obter-se os mesmos resultados ou semelhantesque se consegue obter com os PRC de forma a se aplicar os PRC num site emprodução sem necessidade de se efectuar testes formais de usabilidade, pois estestestes implicam a utilização de muitos recurso, tais como, laboratório, avaliadores,contactar pessoas, entre outros.Para se fazer a análise vai ser feita uma recolha de dados com a Widget inserindo-aem sites com mais visualizações. Para se saber que sites utilizar realizou-se umquestionário online.Depois dos dados recolhidos com a Widget verificou-se quais os sites com maisrespostas para se fazer os testes de usabilidade tradicionais com os PRC. Por fim,compara-se os dados recolhidos com a Widget HTML e os PRC.Este projeto irá permitir trabalhar nas áreas de Web Design e Programação Web,utilizando as linguagens Web HTML5, CSS, JavaScript e PHP.Para além da criação da Widget HTML criou-se um site que permite simular o serviçoque fornece a ferramenta. Com este site resolvem-se alguns problemas relativos àadaptação da Widget a todos os sites e aos interesses do cliente (e.g.: número depalavras que pretende que apareçam e que dados demográficos pretende recolher).Para além disso no fim da criação da Widget fizeram-se testes de usabilidade quepermitiram descobrir que os utilizadores tinha dificuldade em descobrir o botão deFeedback da Widget HTML. Através dos resultados e de uma conversa com osutilizadores percebeu-se que a Widget deveria ser personalizada pelos proprietáriosdos site de forma a chamar a atenção e a aparecer de forma harmoniosa no site, poisnão se pode ter um único design para todos os sites, sendo este mais um factor afavor de um serviço de personalização da Widget por parte do cliente.

To know which sites to use, an online questionnaire was conducted.After the data collected with the Widget we verified which sites have the most answersto do the traditional usability tests with the PRC. Finally, we compare the data collectedwith the HTML Widget and the PRC.This project will allow working in the areas of Web Design and Web Programming,using HTML5, CSS, JavaScript and PHP Web languages.In addition to the creation of the HTML Widget we created a website that allows you tosimulate the service provided by the tool. This site solves some problems related to theadaptation of the Widget to all sites and customer interests (eg, number of words thatyou want to appear and what demographic data you want to collect). Also at the end ofthe creation of the Widget were made usability tests that allowed to discover that theusers had difficulty in finding the Feedback button of the HTML Widget. Through theresults and a conversation with the users it was noticed that the Widget should becustomized by the site owners in order to attract attention and to appear harmoniouslyin the site, since you can not have a single design for all the sites , this being one morefactor in favor of a service of personalization of the Widget by the client.

Based on the brief introduction of the concept and the subject of credit cards, detailing the credit card transaction process and evolution of the various transactions, It points out that the legal relationship between the credit card transactions is not a triangle but a quadrilateral, namely composed of issuer and the cardholder, merchant, cardholder and merchant and the acquirer, the single institution and the card issuer, four pairs of legal relationship. Based on the credit card contracts, and three types of responsibility as the risk of credit card transactions and according to the categories discussed mainly: the first is the card cause the civil liability of the risk, mainly analyzes the error follow payment orders and the risk of failure of the ATM; the second is the civil liability of the risk caused by the card holder, including for credit-card debt has triggered interest problem, the cardholder when malicious overdraft and violate the criminal law of mainland China, the validity of the credit card contract, credit card, the liability of the guarantor and issuing false income to prove the responsibility of the unit, etc.; the third is the civil liability of the risk led by the third party, this paper discusses mainly the not authorized the use of credit card of civil liability and the expense. Credit card the civil liability of the parties, in the presence of a legally valid contractual relationship between the parties for contract liability, or rarely for tort liability. In credit card transactions, it should be based on the principle of imputation of contractual liability is the principle of strict liability and fault liability principle to determine the attribution of responsibility, and the bank should implement the principle of presumption of fault. Execution of payment orders for system or equipment error, issuer to the cardholder to undertake responsibility of breach of contract, compensation for the foreseeable rule. Through the discussion of legal relations and legal nature of the ATM, it points out that in the cardholder goodwill, ATM transaction log error or less out cash, card issuer to the cardholder for losses suffered as a result of negative liability for breach of contract, the sender can be based on the principal-agent contract liability for breach of contract to the owner of ATM, if the ATM fault is due to quality problems third failure or ATM or software service providers, the sender can breach or tort liability to its; ATM out cash, customers get excess funds improper conditions with civil law''s profit, should bear the liability according to the law of restitution of unjust enrichment. Cardholder malicious, is intentional tort, if the case constitutes a crime, should also be investigated for criminal responsibility. With the rising popularity of credit card issuance and ussing, due to the high interest of credit card transactions, the credit card debt problem is increasingly serious. In this paper, on the interest rate is too high can control from the legitimacy of interest regulation, elaborates the possibility and fairly, points out that the interest rate control is legitimate, possible and feasible. This article analyze the criminal law in the sense of malicious overdraft, pointing out that the contract is not invalid but may revoke the contract, if the issuer exercise the right of revocation, the contract is invalid, the cardholder shall bear tort liability; otherwise it is effective, the cardholder should bear contractual liability. The guarantor''s civil liability should be held in the highest overdraft credit card limit, if there exists a card fraud guarantee or know the fraud guarantor, surety bear no civil liability, otherwise it should assume joint responsibility to ensure that. In this paper, by investigating the false statement civil liability theory and legislation, pointing out that in the pure economic loss caused by a misrepresentation during compensation, not as single modelled on the British and American law to tort law strictures, it also needs a contract responsibility To solve the problem. By discussing the related case of misrepresentation of current law and judicial interpretation of the rules, and not the behavior of real income proof, constitutive requirements, the main responsibility imputation principles, the scope of compensation, liability form, pointing out that issued false proof of income units shall bear the responsibility of compensation, the cardholder malicious collusion case shall bear joint and several liability. In this paper, from the aspects of credit using without authorization the use of the legal nature of considerations, pointed out that to identify without authorization as unauthorized agency is quite reasonable. No discussion is authorized to use civil liability. There are three problems to be solved: one is without authorized the use of whether constitute authorized user of the cardholder''s use of ostensible agency? Second, if you do not constitute ostensible agency, how to bear the loss responsibility? The third it is under the constitute ostensible agency, and how to bear the loss responsibility? Pointing out constitute ostensible agency needs from and credit card, signature, password, id card and so on seven aspects comprehensive recognition. In has not formed the agency by estoppel, hairpin people get after the loss, unauthorized use, the cardholder, merchant acquirers, issuers are likely to want to assume responsibility, the responsibility of form is not the real joint and several liability of supplementary liability. No authorization to use is the full responsibility for the ultimate responsibility; and the cardholder and the acquirer to the issuer to undertake responsibility of breach of contract, as part of the responsibility, liability form for supplementary liability; not only to the merchant acquirer liable to the cardholder liability. The agency by estoppel, authorized the use of free people to bear the civil liability of infringement of creditor''s rights to the cardholder, is the full responsibility for the ultimate responsibility; the sender to assume the cardholder part of the liability for breach of contract; the acquirer bear part of the responsibility of breach of contract to the issuer; merchants both to the cardholder to accept responsibility single institution responsibility. In practice, the cardholder as the plaintiff Sue to the court, the cardholder can choose the defendant from four parts: the sender, without the person using without authorization of the use of people, merchants, acquirers. But according to whether the non authorized the use of the formation of the cardholder''s apparent agency, the cardholder foundation of right of claim is different, the shape and size of the parties to the responsibility of the cardholder is different.

A business card is an important tool for people to contact each other today. In this thesis, we design a system to identify the items of a business card automatically so that we can manage all business cards more easily. In our system, we will process a business card image which has been pre-processed, and all characters in this business card have been recognized by OCR engines. We first classify all items of the business card into two classes, the major items and the minor items, according to the commonality of the contents in business cards. We analyze the arrangement of the items and build item identification rules according to the characteristics of each item. For each business card, we build a scorebook to record the scores. When we examine a block in the business card, we consider the rules of each item and evaluate the score which the block gets in this item. After we evaluate the scores of all blocks, we can identify each item in the business card. In the post-processing steps, we split the blocks that contain more than one item. We build the keyword databases to revise the contents of the items and check the characters adjacent to the key-characters and re-recognize improper characters. At last, we identify undecided blocks according to the keywords of each item and identify the blocks that have no keywords as the note items. In our experiments, we use 100 horizontal cards and 100 vertical cards to test the system of item identification for Chinese cards. The accuracy rate of item identification is 93.05%. The accuracy rates for item identification of horizontal cards and vertical cards are 92.29% and 93.91%.

Abstract:

A intensificação da complexidade socioeconómica, amplificada pela globalização, limita a previsibilidade das acções dos agentes económicos, aumentando a incerteza quanto ao futuro. Ao longo dos anos destaca-se a contribuição da análise prospectiva para um processo sistemático de antecipação do que o futuro pode reservar. O exame das forças que impelem a evolução da economia, da tecnologia e de outras dimensões da sociedade permitido pela prospectiva, bem como a construção de uma melhor percepção quanto a oportunidades e ameaças na área da política pública e da gestão empresarial, garantem a esta disciplina uma notoriedade num contexto actual marcado por volatilidade, ambiguidade e incerteza. No seio desta temática mantém-se ainda em desenvolvimento a categoria de mudança extrema e súbita. Os conceitos que visam abordar eventos de baixa probabilidade e alto impacto, de natureza “disruptiva” e com o potencial de redefinir as “regras do jogo”, são ainda recentes e passíveis de aprofundamento. Por exemplo, noções como “wild cards” carecem ainda de definição precisa e perímetro consensual. O presente estudo debruça-se sobre este objecto de estudo, os eventos-ruptura habitualmente descritos como “wild cards”. A abordagem é de “segunda ordem”, isto é, esta dissertação visa o estudo da teorização do conceito de “wild card”. Para esse fim, foi escolhida uma metodologia integrada combinando elementos quantitativos (através de uma análise bibliométrica) e qualitativos (com levantamento de opinião de especialistas inquéritos a especialistas nacionais e internacionais). Na base deste trabalho de revisão de literatura e de contacto com analistas esta dissertação procura construir uma síntese crítica e criativa do estado da arte e especificar um conjunto de características relevantes para a consideração e adaptação face a “wild cards”.
Socio-economic complexity, quickened by technical change, amplified by globalisation, limits the prediction powers of agents’ actions and increases the need to deal with uncertainty about the future. For many years foresight has been positioned has having a central relevance in the present context of turmoil and insecurity, especially when disruptions and trend-breaking events are of the essence. Within the subject-area of foresight, however, the concept of extreme sudden change remains still quite unclear. Wild cards, or “high impact”/“low-probability” events, with the potential to redefine the “rules of the game” are a concept worth revisiting given its novelty in the literature and analytical importance in contemporary volatile environments. This thesis focuses on the role and evolution of the concept of wild card in foresight literature. Our main objective is to provide an account of the state of the art of wild card research. To this end, the methodological approach deployed uses both quantitative data (bibliometric analysis of research papers) and qualitative information (constructivist method based on interviews with experts) as a way of achieving robust insight on what wild cards are as a concept and how they are evolving in the real world. This two-pronged approach allowed for the validation of the findings of the systematic survey of the literature through the lens of the international researchers and practitioners that we were able to enquire. This methodology is unlike any other we have been able to detect in the extant literature, and may confer this effort a degree of novelty. As far as substantive contributions are concerned, this thesis sought to better distil a definition of the concept of wild card within a foresight’s framework, study its interrelations with other phenomena of change, and also look into the anticipation and adaptation possibilities when dealing with wild cards.
