Because they look to the computer for automatic processing of verbal information, linguists have allied themselves with mathematicians. (10 references) (Author)

Describes the current status of developments concerning the regulation of information flow across national borders. Similarities and trends in various privacy laws from European countries are discussed, as are the business position on data protection and efforts to harmonize national laws. (SW)

Presents an overview of the impact of fiber optics on telecommunications and its application to information processing and library services, including information retrieval, news services, remote transmission of library services, and library networking. (RAA)

Presents a class of distortion controlled vector quantizers that are capable of compressing images so they comply with certain distortion requirements. Highlights include tree-structured vector quantizers; multiresolution vector quantization; error coding vector quantizer; error coding multiresolution algorithm; and Huffman coding of the quad-tree…

Lesioning studies are often used in cognitive neuroscience to make inferences about the architecture of cognition. Recently, computational models have been used to address some of the underlying assumptions-such as modularity and locality-often implicitly used when interpreting lesion data. In this article, we explore the ''functional…

Little research has examined whether social information processing (SIP) measures from early childhood predict externalizing problems beyond the shared association with familial risk markers. In the present study, family antecedents and first-grade externalizing behaviors were studied in relation to preschool and 1st-grade SIP using data from…

This paper provided a content analysis of studies in the field of cognition in e-learning that were published in five Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) journals (i.e. Computers and Education, British Journal of Educational Technology, Innovations in Education and Teaching International, Educational Technology Research & Development, and…

Presents the results of an investigation into information structures in natural language science texts. (Author)

The aim of the study reported here was to investigate an alternative method for scoring Flanders' Interaction Analysis Categories when students' competence in coding lesson transcripts was being assessed. (Author)

This discussion of the development and application of lasers and microprocessors to information processing stresses laser communication in relation to capacity, reliability, and cost and the advantages of this technology to real-time information access and information storage. The increased capabilities of microprocessors are reviewed, and a…

The International Standard Bibliographic Description for Serials--ISBD(S)--provides a format for the international communication of bibliographic information so that records may be interchanged between sources, interpreted across language barriers, and converted to machine readable form. The ISBD(S) standards are limited to the descriptive…

These notes are intended for working scientists who wish to set up and operate Specialized Information Centers to serve their own specialized areas of science. Their purpose is to set out the different tasks to be performed and the decisions that must be taken, to discuss the problems of Center operation and to suggest some of the solutions. This…
