Mathis, Betty A.; And Others – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1973
Results of an attempt to extend the capabilities of a previously-existing automatic abstracting system by adding a modification procedure designed to make system-produced abstracts more acceptable to readers are reported. A rationale for this modification phase is presented, along with several modification rules and methods for improving…

Cosman, Pamela C.; And Others – Information Processing and Management, 1992
Discussion of contrast enhancement techniques focuses on the use of histogram equalization with a data compression technique, i.e., tree-structured vector quantization. The enhancement technique of intensity windowing is described, and the use of enhancement techniques for medical images is explained, including adaptive histogram equalization.…

Nevill, Craig; Bell, Timothy – Information Processing and Management, 1992
Discusses the possibility of storing a compressed form of a translated version of a text that takes advantage of the availability of the original version for more accurate understanding. Experiments that used humans and then computers to predict texts letter by letter are described. (12 references) (LRW)

Benabou, Roland; Tirole, Jean – Journal of Political Economy, 2004
We develop a theory of internal commitments or "personal rules" based on self-reputation over one's willpower, which transforms lapses into precedents that undermine future self-restraint. The foundation for this mechanism is the imperfect recall of past motives and feelings, leading people to draw inferences from their past actions. The degree of…

Darrow, Rob – Library Media Connection, 2005
Note taking plays an important part in the correct extracting of information from reference sources. The "Cornell Note Taking Method" initially developed as a method of taking notes during a lecture is well suited for taking notes from print sources and is one of the best "Use of Information" methods.

Eichenbaum, H.; Fortin, N.J.; Ergorul, C.; Wright, S.P.; Agster, K.L. – Learning and Motivation, 2005
In humans, episodic memory is most commonly defined as the subjective experience of recollection, presenting a major challenge to the identification of episodic memory in animals. Here we take the position that episodic memory also has several other distinctive qualities that can be assessed objectively in animals, as well as humans, and the…

Reid, Norman – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2008
Around 1960, there were quite radical changes in emphasis in many countries in school chemistry education, with subsequent changes in many university courses. Considerable research was undertaken to explore the learning problems students were reporting and the common thread underlying became apparent: it related to the way humans process new…

Schechter, Chen – Educational Administration Quarterly, 2008
Purpose: In light of the excessively broad conceptions and nonobservable terms generally characterizing discussions of organizational learning, this study explores the notion of organizational learning in schools through the conceptual framework of organizational learning mechanisms (OLM) and develops a measure of OLM at the elementary school…

Woods, Kam A. – ProQuest LLC, 2010
Over the past several decades, millions of digital objects of significant scientific, economic, cultural, and historic value have been published and distributed to libraries and archives on removable media. Providing long-term access to these documents, media files, and software executables is an increasingly complex task because of dependencies…

Runions, Kevin C.; Keating, Daniel P. – Developmental Psychology, 2007
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…

Riggs, Donald E. – 1976
Generalized computational subroutines can reduce programing repetitions and wasteful computer storage use. The most useful are those that are flexible enough to handle a wide variety of situations. Subroutines may have details open to change in order to blend into the main program. They may be built into the computer library or supplied by the…
