Network structures of commercial portal sites

Existing standards for the audience measurement and vehicle valuation of a website depend heavily on the traffic information of separate web pages. As a result, the hyperlink structure of a website has not been properly examined. This study attempts to extend the scope of existing web advertising planning perspectives by redirecting attention to the relational characteristics of websites as advertising vehicles. With two measures developed from network analysis methods (network density and network centrality), the hyperlink structures of five popular portal/search engine sites are analysed and compared. Based on the analysis, this study develops a typology for classifying web pages and discusses how the typology can be used to design effective web advertisements.

Aplicaciones de tecnología lingüística y otros recursos didácticos para la enseñanza/aprendizaje del español como lengua extranjera: el verbo

In this article, we pretend to show a series of software applications on Linguistic Technology (ATL is the acroym in Spanish) and others Spanish-like-foreign-language (ELE) teaching/learning resources on-line (Internet resources). Our classification has four kinds of resources: a) writing helpers, b) verbal conjugers, c) verbal gramatic information webpages, and d) verbal practice exercises. We identify the contexts of the ELE classroom development where it's suitable to use these resources. At last, we offer a scholars template to evaluate this resources usage.

A High-Resolution Cellular Automata Traffic Simulation Model with Application in a Freeway Traffic Information System

: In this article, we describe a novel traffic information system for the freeway traffic in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), the most populous German state. It consists of more than 4,000 loop detectors, a simulator, and a microscopic and macroscopic graphical interface. These should be considered as “data input,”“data processing,” and “data output,” respectively. First, we discuss the loop detectors: Their mode of operation, how and where they are located, and the quality of their measurements. Next, we describe the simulator, especially its high-resolution cellular automaton model of traffic flows, the abstraction of the road network into tracks and nodes, how the data from the loop detectors is integrated, and we give some details on an efficient implementation of the dynamics. Finally, we discuss the graphical interfaces, which display the simulated traffic states, and we give some concluding remarks. In particular, we present the traffic information web page http://www.autobahn.nrw.de, where the simulated actual traffic state on the freeway network in NRW can be sighted.

Utility Data Web Page Design–Learning Technologies

ABSTRACT Creating web pages requires the use of at least a few of the several technologies available to developers today. Reliable, robust, informative and intuitive web pages displaying utility data can be created using hypertext markup language (HTML) and common gateway interface (CGI). Other technologies enhance the presentation and functionality of web pages. We discuss these technologies from the viewpoint that a great deal of application development today is undertaken through successive revisions. We present technology descriptions, along with a simple example of each, to get a developer started or simply for better understanding. This is not an exhaustive guide to using each of the technologies, but rather an “opening the door” approach. We then provide references and links to resources for further study.

Link Analysis: Hubs and Authorities on the World Wide Web

Ranking the tens of thousands of retrieved webpages for a user query on a Web search engine such that the most informative webpages are on the top is a key information retrieval technology. A popular ranking algorithm is the HITS algorithm of Kleinberg. It explores the reinforcing interplay between authority and hub webpages on a particular topic by taking into account the structure of the Web graphs formed by the hyperlinks between the webpages. In this paper, we give a detailed analysis of the HITS algorithm through a unique combination of probabilistic analysis and matrix algebra. In particular, we show that to first-order approximation, theranking given by the HITS algorithm is the same as the ranking by counting inbound and outbound hyperlinks. Using Web graphs of different sizes, we also provide experimental results to illustrate the analysis.

Outline of initial design of the Structured Hypertext Transfer Protocol

This paper presents an introduction to the initial design of the Structured Hypertext Transfer Protocol (STTP), a compatible extension to the HTTP. It includes a new message set for the control of resource transmission, and the Structured Hypertext Markup Language (STML) for describing the structural information of Web pages. Experimental tests show that STTP can be significantly faster than HTTP, with the improvement of transmission time being around 70% to 400% and the same magnitude of packet savings, which is among the best performance improvement ever reported. The paper discusses the basic idea and major design considerations of these components, as well as a few important issues in developing STTP servers and clients.

The perceived credibility of personal Web page information as influenced by the sex of the source

This field experiment examined the effects of the sex of Web site authors and Web site visitors on perceptions of the credibility of personal Web pages. Participants viewed male and female Web pages created for this study, patterned after personal pages on the Web, and assessed sponsor, message, and Web site credibility. Results revealed that men rated both message credibility and site credibility significantly higher than did women and that there was a significant interaction effect whereby opposite-sex credibility evaluations were higher than same-sex credibility evaluations. Overall, this study reveals that sex differences are meaningful in cyberspace but that the reduced cues environment challenges researchers to locate precisely what factors underlie these differences. Potential explanations include the vestiges of a sex-imbalanced Internet culture, sex similarity, sex and message congruence, and social desirability.

Sensor integration in industrial environment: from fieldbus to web sensors

This paper deals with the feasibility of a compact and low-cost web-enabled sensor. A sensor can be interfaced to Ethernet using a low-cost microcontroller and few resources, as in fieldbus sensors. To realize a web sensor, Internet Protocols must be provided and most of the cost is in full-compliant implementation of these high-level protocols (Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) or Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP)). This approach allows access to the sensor from everywhere with a commercial browser instead of a proprietary interface. The proposed web sensor, which requires about 15 kbytes of C-code and 1 kbyte of Random Access Memory (RAM), supports IP fragmentation, manages two simultaneous TCP connections (one “fast” and one “slow”) and exchanges information (web page) with commercial browsers.

Phone-Web: Accessing WWW using a telephone set

In order to provide a ubiquitous, comprehensive and versatile service on the WWW the development of a WWW telephone browsing system named Phone-Web is proposed. This Phone-Web browser system would act as an intermediary between the telephone user and Web sites, thereby facilitating access to the WWW from any phone. The Phone-Web system would filter Web page information and then convert it into speech format. Users of the Phone-Web system could retrieve and hear information stored on WWW servers by using telephone handsets. For this system to work it requires a new hypertext language “Hyper Phone Markup Language” (HPML) and a dedicated Phone-Web browser. By using the proposed HPML language, Web page designers can easily specify service information in a set of HPML pages, which would be included in the site they are designing. The Phone-Web browser would be capable of retrieving and then converting the HPML pages into speech patterns. By connecting to the Phone-Web browser, telephone users can access any information on any site using the HPML language from any telephone anywhere in the world. However, HPML-specified pages can also be accessed using existing browsers (e.g., Netscape Navigator, Microsoft Internet Explorer, etc.) This means that both telephone and computer users can now access the same set of Web pages to retrieve the same information. Therefore, instead of maintaining the existing two systems (access via the telephone or computer) service providers can now maintain one system, which would provide a versatile, and comprehensive service for users at all levels of Web-literacy.

The road to meta: the implementation of Dublin Core metadata in the State Library of Queensland website

The goal of the State Library of Queensland's Metadata Project is the deployment of metadata using the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set in State Library web pages. The deployment of metadata is expected to improve resource discovery by Internet users, through providing index information (metadata) in State Library web pages which is then available to search engines for indexing. The project is also an initial attempt to set standards for metadata deployment in Queensland libraries web pages.

Ocular involvement in acquired toxoplasmosis.

<h3>Objective</h3> Seeking sexual health information online is common, and provision of mobile medical applications (apps) for STIs is increasing. Young people, inherently at higher risk of STIs, are avid users of technology, and apps could be appealing sources of information. We undertook a comprehensive review of content and accuracy of apps for people seeking information about STIs. <h3>Methods</h3> Search of Google Play and iTunes stores using general and specific search terms for apps regarding STIs and genital infections (except HIV), testing, diagnosis and management, 10 September 2014 to 16 September 2014. We assessed eligible apps against (1) 19 modified Health on The Net (HON) Foundation principles; and (2) comprehensiveness and accuracy of information on STIs/genital infections, and their diagnosis and management, compared with corresponding National Health Service STI information webpage content. <h3>Results</h3> 144/6642 apps were eligible. 57 were excluded after downloading. 87 were analysed. Only 29% of apps met ≥6 HON criteria. Content was highly variable: 34/87 (39%) covered one or two infections; 40 (46%) covered multiple STIs; 5 (6%) focused on accessing STI testing. 13 (15%) were fully, 46 (53%) mostly and 28 (32%) partially accurate. 25 (29%) contained ≥1 piece of potentially harmful information. Apps available on both iOS and Android were more accurate than single-platform apps. Only one app provided fully accurate and comprehensive information on chlamydia. <h3>Conclusions</h3> Marked variation in content, quality and accuracy of available apps combined with the nearly one-third containing potentially harmful information risks undermining potential benefits of an e-Health approach to sexual health and well-being.
