Situatedness refers to the imagery that a conceptualization invokes. The image, as a whole, provides the context for interpreting the relevance of the categories revealed in the image. At a basic level of conceptualization, the conceptual relevance of an o ...
Pressure tunnels are in operation subjected to internal water pressure. When the hoop tensile stress acting at the lining intrados exceeds the tensile strength of concrete, longitudinal cracks occur in the concrete lining. As a consequence of crack opening ...

Many students leave school with a fragmented understanding of biology that does not allow them to connect their ideas to their everyday lives (Wandersee, 1989; Mintzes, Wandersee, & Novak, 1998; Mintzes, Wandersee, & Novak, 2000a). Understanding evolution ...
A compositional hierarchy is the default organization of knowledge acquired for the purpose of specifying the design requirements of a service. Existing methods for learning compositional hierarchies from natural language text, interpret composition as an ...
The use of Herbert Clark’s work as a theoretical framework in the Computer Supported Collaborative Work domain is often dismissed or judged as “cooked” and led to a large body of controversy. This article intends to reconsider his contribution and re-exami ...
Tensile strength of structural glass elements is highly influenced by flaws. For this paper, the study concentrates on the fracture origin i.e. the critical flaw, situated at the edge of a glass element. In the current study the influence of two different ...
In this article we explore how learning across competing Communities of Practice (CoP) may benefit from actively managed processes, namely: building an explicit knowledge repository (open source), and setting incentives to crossing boundaries (knowledge-br ...
Distributed Cognition and Course of Action theories offer frameworks for micro-analysis of activity. The former leads to an abstract level of description of the propagation of information in a socio-technical system. The latter embeds conclusions from the ...
We share our experience in planning, designing and deploying a wireless sensor network of one square kilometre area. Environmental data such as soil moisture, temperature, barometric pressure, and relative humidity are collected in this area situated in th ...
