Improving Database Quality Through Eliminating Duplicate Records, Mingzhen Wei, Andrew H. Sung, Martha E. Cather
Improving Database Quality Through Eliminating Duplicate Records, Mingzhen Wei, Andrew H. Sung, Martha E. Cather
Geosciences and Geological and Petroleum Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Redundant or duplicate data are the most troublesome problem in database management and applications. Approximate field matching is the key solution to resolve the problem by identifying semantically equivalent string values in syntactically different representations. This paper considers token-based solutions and proposes a general field matching framework to generalize the field matching problem in different domains. By introducing a concept of String Matching Points (SMP) in string comparison, string matching accuracy and efficiency are improved, compared with other commonly-applied field matching algorithms. The paper discusses the development of field matching algorithms from the developed general framework. The framework and corresponding …
Time-Varying Mimo Channels: Measurement, Analysis, And Modeling, Michael A. Jensen, Jon W. Wallace
Time-Varying Mimo Channels: Measurement, Analysis, And Modeling, Michael A. Jensen, Jon W. Wallace
Faculty Publications
communication nodes is analyzed. A wide-band 8 times 8 sounder is employed to measure the response of indoor and outdoor channels at 2.55 and 5.2 GHz. The rate of channel temporal variation is then quantified in terms of information theoretic metrics that indicate the loss in channel quality as transmit and receive channel state information becomes increasingly outdated. Finally, these metrics are used to investigate the ability of two different modeling strategies-a random matrix model and a physical time-varying cluster model-to capture the channel temporal variation.
Does The Plaintiff Matter? An Empirical Analysis Of Lead Plaintiffs In Securities Class Actions, Randall Thomas, James D. Cox
Does The Plaintiff Matter? An Empirical Analysis Of Lead Plaintiffs In Securities Class Actions, Randall Thomas, James D. Cox
Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications
The PSLRA's lead plaintiff provision was adopted in order to encourage large shareholders with claims in a securities fraud class action to step forward to become the class' representative. Congress' expectation was that these investors would actively monitor the conduct of a securities fraud class action so as to reduce the litigation agency costs that may arise when class counsel's interests diverge from those of the shareholder class. Proponents of the provision claimed that there would be substantial benefits from having institutional investors serve as lead plaintiffs. Now, ten years later, the claim that the lead plaintiff is a more …
The News Media's Influence On Criminal Justice Policy: How Market-Driven News Promotes Punitiveness, Sara Sun Beale
The News Media's Influence On Criminal Justice Policy: How Market-Driven News Promotes Punitiveness, Sara Sun Beale
William & Mary Law Review
This Article argues that commercial pressures are determining the news media's contemporary treatment of crime and violence, and that the resulting coverage has played a major role in reshaping public opinion, and ultimately, criminal justice policy. The news media are not mirrors, simply reflecting events in society. Rather, media content is shaped by economic and marketing considerations that frequently override traditional journalistic criteria for newsworthiness. This Article explores local and national television's treatment of crime, where the extent and style of news stories about crime are being adjusted to meet perceived viewer demand and advertising strategies, which frequently emphasize particular …
Corporate Speech, Securities Regulation, And An Institutional Approach To The First Amendment, Michael R. Siebecker
Corporate Speech, Securities Regulation, And An Institutional Approach To The First Amendment, Michael R. Siebecker
William & Mary Law Review
Does the First Amendment shield politically tinged corporate speech from the compelled disclosure and reporting requirements embedded in the U.S. securities laws? The question arises in the securities regulation context because of an impending jurisprudential train wreck between the Supreme Court's commercial speech doctrine and its approach to corporate political speech. As corporations begin mixing commercial messages with political commentary, First Amendment jurisprudence simply provides insufficient guidance on the role government should play in regulating that speech. Although First Amendment jurisprudence generally counsels against governmental restrictions on corporate political speech without regard to the truth or falsity of the message, …

Adolescents' Perceptions And Interpretations Of Parental Control: Differentiated By Domain And Type Of Control, Fumiko Kakihara
Adolescents' Perceptions And Interpretations Of Parental Control: Differentiated By Domain And Type Of Control, Fumiko Kakihara
Student Work
In this study, early to middle adolescents’ perceptions and interpretations of psychological control and behavioral control were examined using quasi-experimental methods. A total of sixty-seven adolescents (M—14.25 years, SD = 1.66), consisting of 32 7th/8th graders (M= 12.69 years, SD = .69) and 35 10th/11th graders (M = 15.69 years, SD= .72) responded to hypothetical vignettes depicting everyday interactions between parents and an adolescent involving psychological versus behavioral control, manipulating the levels of control and authority domains. The adolescents were asked to indicate the degree to which the control depicted in the vignettes would indicate parental intrusiveness, their mattering to …

Audiovisual Rhetoric A Metatheoretical Approach To Design, Gesche Joost, Arne Scheuermann
Audiovisual Rhetoric A Metatheoretical Approach To Design, Gesche Joost, Arne Scheuermann
DRS Biennial Conference Series
"Wherever there is design, there is rhetoric"—in this way Kenneth Burke's quotation from 1950 can be modified in order to describe the fundamental relation between the two disciplines. Rhetorical scholarship provides a set of rules and techniques for effective communication as well as a system, how to apply them with the most impact on the audience. In the approach introduced in this paper, rhetorical scholarship is transferred to design. Therefore, we present a model, which describes the design process from a theoretical point of view. We show that design can adapt basic rhetorical categories and tools for the practical work, …
Questioning Drawing For Designers: Project Work As A Strategy And Examples From The Practice, Maria Vasconcelos, Helena Elias
Questioning Drawing For Designers: Project Work As A Strategy And Examples From The Practice, Maria Vasconcelos, Helena Elias
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Facing the changes of the named “global society and technological revolution”, this paper begins by equating through literature review main competences asked to designers and the way drawing as a discipline can make a contribution in the academic curricula of design courses. Such contribution is also shown by depicting some exercises of drawing and results obtained in practice. The paper considers drawing fundamental for designerly thinking and argues on the importance of project work as a methodology to give drawing a purpose, enriching and enlarging its capacity as a tool for creativity, thinking, and research, problem-solving and self expression. Drawing …
Regarding Software As A Material Of Design, E. Blevis, Y.K. Lim, E. Stolterman
Regarding Software As A Material Of Design, E. Blevis, Y.K. Lim, E. Stolterman
DRS Biennial Conference Series
We discuss the idea that software can be considered to be a material of design—an idea introduced in Löwgren & Stolterman’s recent book, “Thoughtful Interaction Design.” We discuss the implications of this idea for regarding software design to be a design discipline within design traditions. In order to characterize this way of thinking and give it some utility, we propose a paradigm for regarding software as a material of design that we call the SoftMat paradigm. We describe a framework for characterizing philosophical viewpoints about design that informs the SoftMat paradigm and that we call VMR—for values, methods, and reasoning. …
The Fairy Stories Project: Towards A History Of Architecture As A Time Based Medium, Edward Hollis
The Fairy Stories Project: Towards A History Of Architecture As A Time Based Medium, Edward Hollis
DRS Biennial Conference Series
The History and Theory of Architecture have traditionally discussed buildings as if they were the fixed, timeless emanations of the mind of an omnipotent Architect. However, the real life of buildings as we experience them is anything but fixed, pure, or timeless. In order to survive, buildings have to be as chimerical and cunning as the people who made them. This paper proposes an alternative history of Architecture that aims to resolve this contradiction between Theory and Practice. This proposed History records the survival stories of a number of buildings, told in the manner of stories that have themselves survived …
Towards A Definition Of Kansei, P Levy, T Yamanaka
Towards A Definition Of Kansei, P Levy, T Yamanaka
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This paper introduces a new research aiming at defining the term Kansei using western philosophical concepts. In the literature, all definitions of the term Kansei are imprecise, even incorrect in most of the case. This is mainly due to the fact that Kansei is a Japanese term, which does not have direct translation in any western language. However, a deeper research has to be pursued to bring the research in Kansei, in Kansei Information, in Kansei Science, and so forth to an international level. This objective requires many research fields to meet in an interdisciplinary research environment following the example …
How To Develop Basic Research In Communication Design, P.K. Storkerson
How To Develop Basic Research In Communication Design, P.K. Storkerson
DRS Biennial Conference Series
As a matter of competence and legitimacy, Communication design needs the grounding and knowledge that come from basic research. One of the major impediments to basic research in communication design is the lack of theoretical frames by which to apprehend and isolate valid, significant research questions and define research methods. This paper explicates these problems and proposes solutions by outlining a process of defining theory and method and by proposing a specific ontological and epistemological frame within which to conduct research in communication design.

Reframing American Democracy: The Role Of Research In The Interpretation Of Redesigned Election Artefacts, E.D. Tunstall
Reframing American Democracy: The Role Of Research In The Interpretation Of Redesigned Election Artefacts, E.D. Tunstall
DRS Biennial Conference Series
In November 2000, a poorly designed “butterfly” ballot in Palm Beach County, Florida, of the United States of America, changed election history. From 2001-2005, Design for Democracy, a strategic program of AIGA and UPA, conducted ethnographically based research to redesigned election artifacts, including the ballot. This paper explores the role of research, particularly ethnographic research, in the interpretation of the “meaning” of these redesigned election artifacts within the discourses of American democracy. In particular, it focuses on the discourses of American democracy as framed by the contexts of American professional design organizations, international museums such as the Pompidou Center, and …

Researching The Research Culture In Art & Design: The Art And Design Index To Theses, T Fisher, J Mottram
DRS Biennial Conference Series
The aim of this study is to develop better function and performance for embodiment of electric-powered wheelchair from the aspect of human kansei. Embodiment is the concept which frequently used in robotics or neural science. An embodiment of electric wheelchair is to realize the function which is felt natural like flesh body. We studied it through the two standpoints. One is how it move, the other how we feel (kansei). Kansei is a concept that includes emotion and sensibility. Kansei was defined as an intuitive ability to react and evaluate the values like pleasure and comfort. As we were factoring …

Using Cartoons To Engage Stakeholders In Innovation And Design Of It Artefacts, L Albinsson
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This paper presents how cartoons have been used to engage a large number stakeholder in the design of a radical new type of IT-artefact. It demonstrates how cartoons can increase the number of people that are actively involved and also how they can aid innovation, making them useful in many types of design. It also shows how they can serve as starting point for “traditional” IT artefact development methods. It includes a case study of a pioneering project were student will participate in the design of a versatile, omnipresent electronic agent, an e-Me, that schools, authorities and companies are required …

Formative Research For Interface Design For Older Adults: Reducing Adverse Self-Medication Behaviors, Z Strickler, C Rauh, Pj Neafsey, C Lin
DRS Biennial Conference Series
The current project Reducing Adverse Self-Medication Behaviors in Older Adults builds on an earlier study by the investigators (Preventing Drug Interactions in Older Adults), in which a computer software program was developed to help older adults learn to avoid common, harmful, drug interactions. The program contains attractive, simplified animations demonstrating how two types of prescription medications (antihypertensives and anticoagulants) work in the human body, and how these can interact with over-thecounter (OTC) drugs and alcohol in ways that may lead to harmful health outcomes. The interface and animations were designed to be easy to use and appealing to older adults …
The Status And The Prospects Of Deconstruction In Graphic Design, Dong-Sik Hong, Mijeong Hwang
The Status And The Prospects Of Deconstruction In Graphic Design, Dong-Sik Hong, Mijeong Hwang
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Visual communication design has been represented in varied images from ancient society up until the present time. Especially graphic design, which has experienced artistic upheaval from modernism and postmodernism, has been enabled to deliver messages in a more developed and sensuous appearances. Deconstructionist design wasn't well received by modernism, an advocate of practicality and effectiveness; however, as the beginning of subsequent postmodernism, it started to earn a warm welcome from a number of designers. Postmodernism made it possible for deconstruction to be a new paradigm appreciating neutral respect for varied expressions and designers' idiosyncrasy. Corresponding to this new trend, Edward …
