Information flows in causal networks
(2008)We use a notion of causal independence based on intervention, which is a fundamental concept of the theory of causal networks, to define a measure for the strength of a causal effect. We call this measure “information flow” ... -
Information in radiotherapy for men with localised prostate cancer : An integrative review
(2019-05)INTRODUCTION: Men with prostate cancer may receive radiotherapy as part of their management. They encounter a range of information related to radiotherapy, and a crucial role for therapeutic radiographers and other healthcare ... -
The information needs of carers of adults diagnosed with epilepsy
(2004)Aim: The aim of the study was to explore the information needs of informal carers, and how information from health professionals can become more effective for families caring for people with epilepsy. Methods: A combined ... -
Information Overload?
(Chartered Institute of Legal Executives, 2008-03) -
Information parsimony in collaborative interaction
(2018-09-27)We investigate the information processing cost associated with performing a collaborative dyadic task at a specific utility level. We build our approach on the Relevant Information formalism, which combines Shannon's ... -
Information recalled by women taking anti-epileptic drugs for epilepsy : a questionnaire study
(2002)Women with epilepsy have different needs from men, particularly associated with childbearing. Despite clinical guidelines, the care of women with epilepsy remains suboptimal. The aim of this study was to establish whether ... -
Information Security and Digital Forensics in the world of Cyber Physical Systems
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2017-01-26)The security of Cyber Physical Systems and any digital forensic investigations into them will be highly dependent on data that is stored and processed in the Cloud. This paper looks at a number of the issues that will need ... -
The Information Society and Its Philosophy: Introduction to the Special Issue on “The Philosophy of Information, Its Nature, and Future Developments”
(2009)The article introduces the special issue dedicated to “The Philosophy of Information, Its Nature, and Future Developments.” It outlines the origins of the information society and then briefly discusses the definition of ... -
Information technologies and the tragedy of the good will
(2006)Information plays a major role in any moral action. ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) have revolutionized the life of information, from its production and management to its consumption, thus deeply affecting ... -
Information Technology, US Union Organizing and Union Effectiveness
(2002)This paper examines the effects of information technology (IT) on organizing and union effectiveness in US national unions. Original survey data and data from government and independent sources are combined to model outcomes ... -
Information theoretic incentives for social interaction
(University of Hertfordshire, 2009)A first step towards social interaction is to observe other agents and their actions. The concept of "Relevant Information" is used to argue, from an information theoretic perspective, why it would be beneficial to observe ... -
Information Theoretic Models of Social Interaction
(University of Hertfordshire, 2013-05-24)This dissertation demonstrates, in a non-semantic information-theoretic framework, how the principles of \maximisation of relevant information" and \information parsimony" can guide the adaptation of an agent towards ... -
Information theoretical analysis of differences in information transmission in cerebellar Purkinje cells across species
(2014-07)The dendrite of the cerebellar Purkinje cell is one of the most complex structures in the mammalian brain, receiving more than 150,000 synaptic inputs. It is also one of the most extensively modelled neurons in the mammalian ... -
Information theory analysis of skewed coding for suppresion of pattern-dependant errors in digital communications
(2007)We present information-theory analysis of the tradeoff between bit-error rate improvement and the data-rate loss using skewed channel coding to suppress pattern-dependent errors in digital communications. Without loss of ...
