    This thesis examined how adult English language learners experience the process of collaboratively processing feedback on jointly produced texts. The study found that participants learnt from the interactions the feedback initiated. Additionally, participants were able to draw on what they learnt when writing and speaking individually

    A Research Agenda for Linked Closed Data

    No full text
    While it is preferable that Linked Data is published without access or licence restrictions, there will always remain certain datasets which, perhaps due to financial considerations, cannot be published as Linked Open Data. If these valuable datasets do join the Web of Linked Data, it will be as Linked Closed Data - Linked Data with access and license restrictions. In this paper, we outline a research agenda for Linked Closed Data that considers the effects that access and license restrictions may have on the Web of Linked Data. If implemented poorly, access restrictions have the potential to break URI resolvability, but even when implemented well, we can expect them to affect dataset selection processes and inter-dataset link creation rates. Additionally, there remains the technical challenge of developing and standardising access restriction and automated payment techniques for the Web of Linked Data

    Extravehicular activity at geosynchronous earth orbit

    The basic contract to define the system requirements to support the Advanced Extravehicular Activity (EVA) has three phases: EVA in geosynchronous Earth orbit; EVA in lunar base operations; and EVA in manned Mars surface exploration. The three key areas to be addressed in each phase are: environmental/biomedical requirements; crew and mission requirements; and hardware requirements. The structure of the technical tasks closely follows the structure of the Advanced EVA studies for the Space Station completed in 1986

    Advanced extravehicular activity systems requirements definition study. Phase 2: Extravehicular activity at a lunar base

    Get PDF
    The focus is on Extravehicular Activity (EVA) systems requirements definition for an advanced space mission: remote-from-main base EVA on the Moon. The lunar environment, biomedical considerations, appropriate hardware design criteria, hardware and interface requirements, and key technical issues for advanced lunar EVA were examined. Six remote EVA scenarios (three nominal operations and three contingency situations) were developed in considerable detail

    Impact of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act on Piracy

    This study details a web based survey of students in the School of Information and Library Science at UNC Chapel Hill. The survey was conducted to determine whether or not the participants' knowledge of the terms in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act has an impact on their conformance to the act. The responses on the survey were analyzed statistically to search for any correlation between any of the variables. Additionally, a review of the prose responses given by the participants reveals trends in their conformity to the act, regardless of their knowledge of it
