The sorting techniques: a tutorial paper on card sorts, picture sorts and item sorts

Expert Systems, 1997
Although sorting techniques (e.g. card sorts) are widely used in knowledge acquisition and requirements acquisition, they have received little formal attention compared to related techniques such as repertory grids and laddering. This paper briefly describes the main sorting techniques, then provides a detailed tutorial on one variety (repeated single ...

Approximate Sorting

Fundamenta Informaticae, 2006
We show that any comparison based, randomized algorithm to approximate any given ranking of n items within expected Spearman's footrule distance n ^{2} /ν(n) needs at least n (min{log ν(n), log n} − 6) comparisons in the worst case.

Sorting by Transpositions

SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, 1998
Summary: Sequence comparisons in computational molecular biology is a powerful tool for deriving evolutionary and functional relationships between genes. However, classical alignment algorithms handle only local mutations (i.e., insertions, deletions, and substitutions of nucleotides) and ignore global rearrangements (i.e., inversions and ...

‘Sorted’

Accident and Emergency Nursing, 1997
Each year in Accident and Emergency an increasing number of young people present with acute problems related to social drugs. These problems range from mild symptoms to life-threatening conditions, many of which can be extremely difficult and time consuming for staff to manage.

Sorting, Approximate Sorting, and Searching in Rounds

SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, 1988
The worst case number of comparisons needed for sorting or selecting in rounds is considered. The following results are obtained. (a) For every fixed \(k\geq 2\), \(\Omega (n^{1+1/k}(\log n)^{1/k})\) comparisons are required to sort n elements in k rounds. \((O(n^{1+1/k}\log n)\) are known to be sufficient.) This improves the previously known bounds by
