Abstract:

Internet content has become one of the most important resources of information. Much of this information is in the form of natural language text and one of the important components of natural language text is named entities. So automatic recognition and classification of named entities has attracted researchers for many years. Named entities are mentioned in different textual forms in different documents. Also, the same textual mention may refer to different named entities. This problem is well known in NLP as a disambiguation problem. Named Entity Disambiguation (NED) refers to the task of ma

Abstract:

Recent studies in cognitive science indicate that language has an important social function. The structure and knowledge of language emerges from the processes of human communication together with the domain-general cognitive processes. Each individual of a community interacts socially with a limited number of peers. Nevertheless societies are characterized by their stunning global regularities. By dealing with the language as a complex adaptive system, we are able to analyze how languages change and evolve over time. Multi-agent computational simulations assist scientists from different disci

Abstract:

The upgrade of the CERN accelerator complex has been planned in order to further increase the LHC performances in exploring new physics frontiers. One of the main limitations to the upgrade is represented by the collective instabilities. These are intensity dependent phenomena triggered by electromagnetic fields excited by the interaction of the beam with its surrounding. These fields are represented via wake fields in time domain or impedances in frequency domain. Impedances are usually studied assuming ultrarelativistic bunches while we mainly explored low and medium e

Abstract:

In everyday situations individuals make decisions. For example, a tourist usually chooses a crowded or recommended restaurant to have dinner. Perhaps it is an individual decision, but the observed pattern of decision-making is a collective phenomenon. Collective behaviour emerges from the local interactions that give rise to a complex pattern at the group level. In our example, the recommendations or simple copying the choices of others make a crowded restaurant even more crowded. The rules of interaction between individuals are important to study.

ABSTRACTFor the most part, human motivation has been studied through a lens that has been focused primarily on the individual, and the immediate environmental context that might affect the individual. Applying an individually focused approach to studying human motivation is logical and appropriate: to explain and account for an individual's behaviour, the unit of analysis should include the individual. However, recent research and theorizing by Taylor (2002) and Oyserman (2007, 2009) proposes that social groups, and their associated collective (social) identities, influence individual group me

We find that the collective coordinate approach provides a remarkably good quantitative description of the shape and the position of the travelling wave.

Abstract:

An inverse statistics analysis of one minute stock quotes from 492 large Europeancompanies has revealed the existence of a gain-loss asymmetry in thefollowing index. The gain-loss asymmetry differs from that observed for dailyclosure prices of the Dow Jones Industrial Average [38], as the probability ofthe optimal investment horizon for a gain is higher than that of a loss. Forindividual stocks, the gain-loss asymmetry was observed to only appear forsignificantly larger return-levels. To the best of our knowledge, this is thefirst time such an analysis has been performed on high-frequency data

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to illustrate how stories and extracts from stories can be used to investigate issues centred on organisational identity in the British Parachute Regiment, the `tribe' at the centre of this research. This thesis employs a narratological approach (Brown, 2001) in an autoethnographic study (Ellis and Bochner, 2000) in which I myself, as a member of the `tribe' and as a scholar, am centrally implicated. By adopting this methodology the thesis includes a reflexive examination of me as a Paratrooper and as an emergent scholar. These identities can be understood as two cons

Abstract:

A collective system is a complex model comprised of a large number of individual entities, whose interaction gives rise to non-trivial emergent behaviours. The automatic verification of the intrinsically noisy dynamics of this type of models, by means of Stochastic Model Checking techniques, is severely hampered by the large size of their state space. In this project, we consider a new scalable and effective technique to validate the performance of these systems, based on Stochastic Approximations of the dynamics of the model. In this context, this works merges and extends the few pre

Abstract:

The assessment of cancer patients' quality of life (QOL) has been increasing in both importance and relevance in recent years, and is becoming more integrated into clinical practice. This has been greatly facilitated by the development of standard QOL instruments. However, the standard questionnaires may overlook certain aspects of QOL or focus on areas which do not present a problem to patients. The aims of this thesis were to increase the relevance of QOL instruments to patients by developing systems that allow patients to select relevant domains from questionnaires and secondly, to minimise

Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree: Doctor of Technology: DESIGN In the Faculty of Informatics and Design At the Cape Peninsula University of Technology<br>Currently, the South African leather tanning industry is dominated by chromium tanning which has been identified as highly polluting. Vegetable tanning is considered less environmentally hazardous. Yet, there have been no plans to promote it in South Africa. Vegetable tanning process utilises vegetable matter for converting animal skins or hides into pliable material that is known as leather. South Africa h

Abstract:

This qualitative study is a response to a request for help from a group of Grade 3 (year 3) teachers who were disheartened with the poor performance of their learners in Mathematics. In an attempt to address their challenge, they resolved to form a Teacher Collective (TC) amongst themselves. Their main objective was to support each other in their development of Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching (MKT). The participants, being frustrated by what they perceived as an inefficient and unhelpful cluster approach to professional development used by the Department of Basic Education initiated their
