A New Account of Personalization and Effective Communication

Galbi, Douglas A. - EconWPA - 2003

To contribute to understanding of information economies of daily life, this paper explores over the past millennium given names of a large number of persons. Analysts have long both condemned and praised mass media as a source of common culture, national unity, or shared symbolic experiences....

Filtering information in a connected network

Capocci, Andrea; Slanina, František; Zhang, Yi-Cheng - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 317 (2003) 1, pp. 259-269

We introduce a new kind of Information Theory. From a finite number of local, noisy comparisons, we want to design a …

SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS IN AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOMEN: COGNITIVE PHYSIOLOGICAL MODULES, AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE, AND STRUCTURED PSYCHOSOCIAL STRESS

WALLACE, RODRICK - In: Advances in Complex Systems (ACS) 06 (2003) 04, pp. 599-629

Examining elevated rates of systemic lupus erythematosus in African-American women from perspectives of immune cognition suggests the disease constitutes an internalized physiological image of external patterns of structured psychosocial stress, a 'pathogenic social hierarchy' involving the...

Information as sign: semiotics and information science

Raber, Douglas; Budd, John M. - In: Journal of Documentation 59 (2003) 5, pp. 507-522

From the perspective of semiotics, “information” is an ambiguous theoretical concept because the word is used to represent both signifier and signified, both text and content. Using the work of Fernand de Saussure, this paper explores theoretical possibilities that open by virtue of...

Information and redundancy in the legend of Theseus

Warner, Julian - In: Journal of Documentation 59 (2003) 5, pp. 540-557

information theory. The efficient cause of a failure in communication is regarded as a selection error and the formal cause as the … system, in alphabetic written language, so strongly marked by its redundancy? Second, why has information theory been so … selection errors and noise. With regard to information theory, it is suggested that conformity with necessary conditions for …

Developing a measure of knowledge management behaviors and practices

Darroch, Jenny - In: Journal of Knowledge Management 7 (2003) 5, pp. 41-54

Knowledge management has recently emerged as a new discipline and is generating considerable interest among academics and managers. Given its newness, there is still little guidance in the extant literature on how to measure knowledge management. This paper presents the first scale developed to...

Tsallis entropy production for diffusion on the diluted hypercube

Lemke, N.; de Almeida, R.M.C. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 325 (2003) 3, pp. 396-408

We investigate the production of Tsallis entropy for the probability distribution of random walkers on a hypercube with a fraction p of allowed sites. We consider two regimes, p=1 and from p=12 until the percolation limit pc. In the first regime, we show that the entropy rate can be obtained...
