The document summarizes a research paper on discovering rules from time series data. The researchers examined stock market, traffic, and climate data to find periodic patterns. They discretized the continuous data into symbols, then used clustering to identify shapes and determine rules describing patterns such as "after a decrease, there will be a slight increase". The methodology works reasonably well but has quadratic complexity. It also produces many trivial rules and does not scale to global trends. Improvements could include direct pattern recognition and removing meaningless rules.
The document discusses applying the Digital Repository Audit Method Based on Risk Assessment (DRAMBORA) toolkit to digital libraries to help measure their performance and manage risks. It provides an introduction to DRAMBORA and outlines progress on applying it specifically to digital libraries, covering topics like digital preservation for libraries, measuring performance, and using a scientific approach with DRAMBORA.
This document outlines the agenda for an introductory meeting for the TASH project on June 24th, 2008. The meeting will address the issues TASH aims to help with, such as enhancing academic skills and balancing generic and subject-specific skills. There will be small group activities for attendees to discuss important independent learning skills and how TASH could be built and used across different subject areas. The document provides details on the timing of the activities and topics to be covered. Coffee and cakes will be served during a mid-meeting break.
This document presents machine learning techniques to identify verb subcategorization frames from Czech language corpora. It compares three statistical techniques and shows they can discover new subcategorization frames and label dependents as arguments or adjuncts with 88% accuracy. It describes the task, relevant properties of Czech including free word order and case marking, and how the techniques are applied without assuming a predefined frame set.
The Writing Project is an incredibly powerful and engaging professional development program for teachers. A 35-year study found that the Writing Project's summer institutes and year-long programs effectively support teacher learning through peer teaching, discussions of research and literature, and opportunities for teachers to write and share their own work. While other initiatives have emerged, the Writing Project has maintained its successful core elements. It provides a model for locally and nationally organized, teacher-led professional development and leadership that is foundational for successful educational reform.
The Learning Commons at UMass Amherst underwent extensive renovations over winter break, expanding the space by 5,000 square feet and adding more study rooms and computers. Resources on Haiti in response to the earthquake were compiled on the library website. Study abroad advising is now available at The Link in the Learning Commons on weekday afternoons and evenings. Renovations to improve HVAC in Du Bois Library will take two years and expand the Learning Commons.

The document discusses landslides in Western North Carolina. It provides an overview of landslide occurrences in the region, killing 48 people and damaging over 85 homes since 1916. It also summarizes an inventory of landslides in the Wayehutta Creek watershed, which found 37 landslides, 10 subsidence locations, and 116 landslide deposits covering 660 acres. The document describes different types of landslides that occur in WNC and things to look out for like cracks in the ground, structural damage, and curved/leaning trees. It provides online resources for landslide information and how homeowners can protect themselves.

Discover was created as a pilot site for the National Library of New Zealand's digital collection to ensure interoperability and access through the use of standards. It contains 2,500 multimedia items from the Alexander Turnbull Library's collections. Metadata was created using Dublin Core and other standards and mapped from existing library catalogs to support resource discovery, description, and preservation. The metadata is expressed in XML and RDF to enable delivery in different syntaxes depending on requirements and is managed through the NLNZ Digital Resource application.
Citation searching allows researchers to find additional references on a topic starting from a known reference. There are specialized citation indexes that track how many times articles have been cited, including Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar. These indexes can differ in the number of citations reported for a given article due to covering different journal titles and publication types. It is best to search all available indexes for a more comprehensive view of citations and related references on a topic.
The document provides instructions for various spelling activities including typing words, finding their meanings and definitions, writing sentences with each word, creating a word find puzzle, organizing words by endings, identifying syllable counts, finding rhyming words, and using a thesaurus to find synonyms and antonyms.
The document provides instructions for a student to complete several spelling activities using their weekly spelling words. The activities include typing the words 4 times, looking up and recording definitions, writing sentences using each word, organizing words by endings or syllables, finding rhyming words, and using a thesaurus to identify synonyms and antonyms.
