We are interested to know if software tools can be designed that support collaboration even as they allow analysts to find documents and organize information (including evidence, schemas, and hypotheses).

We introduce FeedWinnower, an enhanced feed aggregator that helps readers to filter feed items by four facets (namely topic, people, source, and time), thus facilitating feed triage.

We examine opportunities for ubiquitous technologies in retail shopping, jewelry shopping in this case, to supplement the unique information needs inherent to physical trials of tactile products.

We introduce a technique to achieve dirty paper coding (DPC) capacity asymptotically with minimum feedback required reported to date in literature.

In this paper, we discuss a number of ways to exploit microblogging in support of two recurrent sensemaking tasks: (1) when a user is seeking information (information foraging and active…

We propose that the research community engage with microblogging feed consumption practice: how do users manage the incoming flood of updates, and how can we help them do it?

The talk will discuss the transport and recombination processes in BJH cells, based on measurements made on polycarbazole/fullerene blend solar cells which have efficiency of about 5%.

In order to achieve more timely assessment of water quality, we have developed and tested a hand-held, opto-fluidic-chip-based flow cytometer that promises to meet the requirements for point-of-need microbiological testing…

Optical sensors offer many distinct advantages in comparison to their electronic counterparts: high sensitivity, remote and distributed sensing, use in harsh environments, and immune to electromagnetic interference.

We describe a new laser diode architecture in which the upper cladding layer is replaced with an evaporated or sputtered non-epitaxial material.
