Play taxonomies: A toy index for product design
This research delves into the diverse landscape of play categorizations, spanning historical foundations to contemporary perspectives, with a focus on its significance in toy design. Drawing insights from prominent scholars and classification frameworks, this study introduces an approach to be used …

An exploration of materials taxonomies to support streamlined life cycle assessment
… These insights are used to create hierarchical taxonomies that are evaluated in terms of effectiveness and efficiency. The method is applied to life cycle inventory process datasets for three material types (metals, polymers, and precious metals). Four environmental midpoints from the TRACI 2.0 …

Agreeing to disagree: Applying a logic-based approach to reconciling and merging multiple taxonomies
Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'. The submission was exported from vireo on 2022-11-15 without embargo terms

Aligning Aviation Safety Reporting System Anomaly Codes for Crew Communication and Coordination with Human Factors Taxonomies
… to three established theory-based human factors taxonomies: the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS), Threat and Error Management (TEM), and Aviation Causal Contributors for Error Reporting Systems (ACCERS). The study used qualitative text mining to systematically code …

Emotional Intelligence at Mid Life: A Cross Sectional Investigation of Structural Variance, Social Correlates, and Relationship to Established Personality and Ability Taxonomies
Emotional Intelligence (EI) has been relatively unstudied after young adulthood. Yet there are a variety of reasons to expect that EI may be different at mid life than in young adulthood. Normative life experiences may lead to increases in EI, and as the array of different environments and …

Central Traits in the 21st Century
Trait taxonomies such as the Big Five have been effective in studying population-level trends, but may obscure important individual differences in the structure, stability, and personal relevance of individuals’ dispositional tendencies. Inspired by Gordon Allport’s notion that people may be …

Some perspectives on high school mathematics evaluation
… the taxonomy developed by Bloom and also other taxonomies applied to Mathematics. The behavioural basis is considered before the actual taxonomies are presented giving due cognizance to the influence of behavioural objectives. The paper then demonstrates the way in which a taxonomy can be used …

Structural analysis and auditing of SNOMED hierarchies using abstraction networks
… concepts into singly-rooted groups. The taxonomies are exploited as the basis for a number of systematic auditing regimens, with a theme that complex concepts are more error-prone and require special attention in auditing activities. In general, group-based auditing is promoted to achieve …

Influence Map Methodology For Evaluating Systemic Safety Issues
… for many organizations. Contributing factor taxonomies organize information on why accidents occur. Therefore, they are essential elements of accident investigations and safety reporting systems. Organizations must balance efforts to identify causes of specific accidents with efforts to …

Question Types and Fates of Student Responses in Second and Fourth Grade Basal Reading Instruction
… using both the Guszak and the Pearson-Johnson taxonomies. Results indicate that literal level questions were more common in low ability groups in both grade levels, as well as in second grade groups compared with fourth grade groups. Also, comparisons between the two taxonomies reveal that the …

IF-MANET: Interoperable framework for heterogeneous mobile ad hoc networks
… barriers for mobile nodes of different MANET taxonomies to intercommunicate and hence wasting a huge amount of valuable resources. To provide interaction between heterogeneous MANETs, the routing protocols require conversion of packets, meta-model and their behavioural capabilities. Here, the …

New Approaches to Hierarchical Modeling — Frameworks, Algorithms, and Applications
… clustering approach which creates supervised taxonomies that unlike traditional agglomerative clustering, which only uses proximity as the single criterion for merging, uses both proximity and class labels infor-mation to obtain hierarchical groupings of a set of objects. We applied the …

Branching out: A comparative analysis of demographic determinants of mammalian speciation
… the thesis. It is suggested that taxa in “split” taxonomies are populations of taxa in “lumped” taxonomies, so that determinants of speciation on “split” taxonomies represent determinants of population isolate formation, and those of speciation on “lumped” taxonomies represent determinants of the …

Data-Driven Database Education: A Quantitative Study of SQL Learning in an Introductory Database Course
… students the most?'' We provide comprehensive taxonomies of SQL concepts and errors, identify common areas of student misunderstanding, and investigate the student problem-solving process. We present an interactive web application used by students to complete SQL lab exercises. In addition, we …

What Does Theism Add to Ethical Naturalism?
… or theistic non-natural theories within existing taxonomies of normative theory. While perhaps encouraging for theists, would theism add anything substantive to theories of ethical naturalism? In this paper, I examine this question. I argue that theistic naturalism appears to incur certain …

A comparison of taxonomy generation techniques using bibliometric methods : applied to research strategy formulation
… automatic generation of hierarchical structures (taxonomies) comprised of terms related to a given research field. Several different taxonomy generation algorithms are discussed and analyzed within this paper, each based on the analysis of a data set of bibliometric information obtained from a …

Evolution in the genus Arum: a comparative analysis of morpohological and genetic variation.
… could be used to produce evolutionary meaningful taxonomies. This thesis aims to test the correlation between morphological and genetic marker variation to further understand the evolution of species within the genus Arum and identify those morphological characters that correspond with …

Case studies of academic writing in the sciences: a focus on the development of writing skills
… - as an optional one. The analysis, using taxonomies proposed by Davies (1988, 1997) and Gosden (1993, 1996), suggested differences in thematic elements, especially regarding a certain type of complex Subject. On the basis of coding difficulties and the findings of the pilot study, …
