TURN of the century (19th-20th century) , *PAPER toys , *CUT-out craft , *CHILDREN'S books , *CHILDREN'S literature , *BOOKS & reading , *ARTS & crafts movement , *TWENTIETH century - Abstract
Part book and part toy, the 1905 "The House That Glue Built" gave young readers an opportunity to cut and paste paper objects into rooms found within the book's pages. Its Arts and Crafts design was a novel departure from other Glue Books at the turn of the twentieth century, and a sophisticated marketing agenda by publisher Frederick A. Stokes helped propel its success. This article examines "The House that Glue Built "as book, object, and toy and traces its evolution within the publishing world from concept to international best seller, becoming the cornerstone of the seventeen-volume Glue Series.

EVALUATION methodology ,MULTIAGENT systems ,BOOKS & reading ,SYSTEMS software ,SYSTEMS development - Abstract
Multi-agent systems and agent-oriented methodologies support analysis, characterization and development of complex software systems. These methodologies introduce different definitions for the essential components of multi-agent systems and cover different phases of the system development life cycle. Therefore, appropriate frameworks for evaluation and comparison of different methodologies would support developers to adopt the best methodology, or a combination of different methodologies, based on the project requirements. This review covers the system development phases and the main conceptual components in the context of multi-agent systems. Then, the evaluation frameworks proposed in the literature for comparison and evaluation of agent-oriented methodologies are reviewed. Evaluation frameworks proposed in the literature are categorized into three categories: methodology-based, phase-based and feature-based evaluation frameworks. The paper concludes with the agent-oriented methodologies' usage challenges, their current limitations and potential future directions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study is mainly conducted to find out the English language needs of Customer Contact and Secretarial Operation Coordination Level IV trainees. To achieve this objective, purposive sampling technique was used to select content area teachers while comprehensive sampling technique was used to include trainees and English language teachers. A survey research was the design of this study. To this end, questionnaire and interview were employed to collect data. Both quantitative and qualitative methods of data analysis were used in the study. The findings of the study showed that writing, speaking, reading and listening skills are prioritized by trainees according to their order. In the area of micro skills, listening to lectures to take notes and listening to class discussions were showed as highly needed micro-skills. With regard to speaking activities, asking and answering questions and participating in whole class discussion were highly needed speaking micro-skills. Reading reference books and reading lecture notes, writing different project works like term papers, assignments and sample personal and business letters were identified as the most important speaking and writing micro-skills. Vocabulary was found more important than grammar. Most trainees reported that they find asking and answering questions and writing different project works like term papers and assignments, sample personal and business letters difficult. The reason for this might be because the courses offered are inefficient to help them develop these skills. Disparity was also found between their language problems and the courses they take. Finally, based on these findings, recommendations were also forwarded. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Backgrounds. The objective of the present research was to systematically revise the international literature about the genetic biomarkers related to oral cancer (OC) evaluating the recent findings in clinical studies. Methods. A comprehensive review of the current literature was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines by accessing the NCBI PubMed database. The authors conducted the search of articles in the English language published from 2008 to 2018. The present systematic review included only papers with significant results about correlation between wound healing, genetic alteration, and OC. Prognostic capacity of genetic markers was not evaluated in vivo. Results. The first analysis with filters recorded about 1884 published papers. Beyond reading and consideration of suitability, only 20 and then 8 papers, with case report exclusion, were recorded for the revision. Conclusion. All the researches recorded the proteomic and genetic alterations in OC human biopsy cells. The gene modification level in the different studies, compared with samples of healthy tissues, has always been statistically significant, but it is not possible to associate publications with each other because each job is based on the measurement of different biomarkers and gene targets. Further investigations should be required in order to state scientific evidence about a clear advantage of using these biomarkers for diagnostic purpose. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

ENGISCH, PATRIK

FICTION ,BOOKS & reading ,AUTHOR-reader relationships ,BELIEF & doubt - Abstract
Kathleen Stock has recently argued that Gregory Currie's account of fiction is beset by two patchwork puzzles. According to the first, Currie's account entails that works of fiction end up being implausible heterogenous complexes of utterances that furnish a fictional world and utterances that aim at representing the actual world. According to the second, competent engagement with a fiction can implausibly result in switching from one mental attitude to another -- namely, belief and make-belief. In this paper, I argue for two main claims. First, that a few alterations to Currie's account make it immune to Stock's puzzles. And, second, that such a modified account presents clear advantages over the alternative one offered by Stock. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

BOOKS & reading ,COMPUTER vision ,ARTIFICIAL intelligence ,IMAGE processing ,PATTERN recognition systems ,HUMAN-machine systems - Abstract
This paper describes a particular book called Souvenirs du monde des montagnes, which draws its iconography from the history of a Swiss mountain family from 1910 to 1930. By simply dipping into the first few pages, the reader will be lost between real and virtual universes, wonder about the evolution of the images' meanings, and question an object's true content. This setup, developed using state-of-the- art computer vision technology, offers unprecedented freedom: we can make technological references disappear to place the user in fruitful turmoil between visible and hidden meanings. The shadow of a bird lies over the pages, foxes' lanterns light up the text, paper mountains emerge. once the last page has been turned, the reader will never look at books in the same way again.

FALSE memory syndrome ,EYE tracking ,BOOKS & reading - Abstract
A sentence such as We finished the paper is indeterminate with regards to what we finished doing with the paper. Indeterminate sentences constitute a test case for two major issues regarding language comprehension: (1) how we compose sentence meaning; and (2) what is retained in memory about what we read in context over time. In an eye-tracking experiment, participants read short stories that were unexpectedly followed by one of three recognition probes: (a) an indeterminate sentence (Lisa began the book), that is identical to the one in the story; (b) an enriched but false probe (Lisa began reading the book); and (c) a contextually unrelated probe (Lisa began writing the book). The probes were presented either at the offset of the original indeterminate sentence in context or following additional neutral discourse. We measured accuracy, probe recognition time, and reading times of the probe sentences. Results showed that, at the immediate time point, participants correctly accepted the identical probes with high accuracy and short recognition times, but that this effect reversed to chance-level accuracy and significantly longer recognition times at the delayed time point. We also found that participants falsely accept the enriched probe at both time points 50% of the time. There were no reading-time differences between identical and enriched probes, suggesting that enrichment might not be an early, mandatory process for indeterminate sentences. Overall, results suggest that while context produces an enriched proposition, an un enriched proposition true to the indeterminate sentence also lingers in memory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Product design and development (PDD) involves various types of tradeoffs, for which multi-objective optimization has been a prevailing approach. Complex PDD optimization problems are associated with multidisciplinary decision makers and may encompass different levels of the design decision hierarchy. A practical concern is that many conflicting goals with diverse decision variables have to compete to arrive at equilibrium solutions, entailing a paradigm of leader-follower joint optimization (LFJO). In line with a typical decision chain of engineering optimization, comprising such consecutive stages as problem formation, optimization modeling, model solution, and optimization evaluation, this paper provides a state-of-the-art review of the LFJO problems that are widely observed in the PDD literature, along with a survey of LFJO mathematical modeling methods. Also reviewed is the status quo of bilevel programming (BLP) models for LFJO problems with focus on their engineering implications for PDD. The paper also reviews the prevailing algorithms for solving BLP mathematical models, as well as common practice of LFJO model evaluation in the PDD literature. Finally, the critical issues of LFJO problems and outlook for further research are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recently in the connected digital world, targeted attack has become one of the most serious threats to conventional computing systems. Advanced persistent threat (APT) is currently one of the most important threats considering the information security concept. APT persistently collects data from a specific target by exploiting vulnerabilities using diverse attack techniques. Many researchers have contributed to find approaches and solutions to fight against network intrusion and malicious software. However, only a few of these solutions are particularly focused on APT. In this paper, we introduce a structured study on semantic-aware work to find potential contributions that analyze and detect APT in details. We propose modeling phase that discusses the typical steps in APT attacks to collect the desired information by attackers. Our research explores social network and web infrastructure exploitation as well as communication protocols and much more for future networks and communications. The paper also includes some recent Zero-day attacks, use case scenarios and cyber trends in southeastern countries. To overcome these challenges and attacks, we introduce a detailed comprehensive literature evaluation scheme that classifies and provides countermeasures of APT attack behavior. Furthermore, we discuss future research direction of APT defense framework of next-generation threat life cycle. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
