Redundancy and uniqueness of subject access points in online catalogs
"The purpose of this study is to examine to what extent the classification number, title, and subject heading fields in catalog records overlap each other in providing subject access points (SAPs), to determine the unique SAPs existing in these fields, and to explore the relationship of the three …

Librarian subject searching in online catalogs: An exploratory study of knowledge used
… searching for subject information in online catalogs. If we begin to understand what knowledge is used by skilled searchers of online catalogs, then perhaps that knowledge can be built into library systems so that the inexperienced or infrequent user can benefit from specialist knowledge …

Explaining consumers' channel-switching behavior using the theory of planned behavior
… retail channels (i.e. brick-and-mortar stores, catalogs, and the Internet). The theory assumes that individual attitudes and beliefs, along with subjective norms and control factors will lead to an intention to perform a certain behavior, i.e. whether to switch channels or not. The online survey …

From Spitzer mid-infrared observations and measurements of peculiar velocities to constrained simulations of the local universe
… Cosmic flows and CLUES. Cosmic flows builds catalogs of accurate distance measurements to map deviations from the expansion. These measures are mainly obtained with the galaxy luminosity-rotation rate correlation. We present the calibration of that relation in the mid-infrared with …

Studies of intrinsic properties of gamma ray bursts detected by the HETE-II satellite
… the availability of the BATSE gamma-ray burst catalogs and is widely believed to be log-normally distributed. It is shown that intrinsically, GRBs may in fact have a much narrower distribution, and the wide log-normal may primarily be due to measurement artifacts. Computation of the TO.45 …
