High Dimension Low Sample Size statistical analysis is becoming increasingly important in a wide range of applied contexts. In such situations, it is seen that the popular Support Vector Machine suffers from “data piling” at the margin, which can diminish generalizability. This leads naturally to the development of Distance Weighted Discrimination, which is based on Second Order Cone Programmin...

The pairing of documentation and archiving also appears in several other contexts, including ethics, access and training. United via ethics we find, for example, Dwyer (2006:40) emphasising that ‘... properly archiving collected data is far more respectful to a speaker community than piling it in the back of a closet’. Dwyer (2006:35) also identifies archiving as a ‘phase’ of documentation that...

We present exact results for the contact forces in a three dimensional static piling of identical, sti and frictionless spheres. The pile studied is a pyramid of equilateral triangular base (“stack of cannonballs”) with a FCC (face centered cubic) structure. We show in particular that, as for the two dimensional case, the pressure on the base of such a pile is uniform. c © 1999 Elsevier Science...

We propose a general framework for differential and linear cryptanalysis of block ciphers when the block is not a bitstring. We prove piling-up lemmas for the generalized differential probability and the linear potential, and we study their lower bounds and average value, in particular in the case of permutations of Fp. Using this framework, we describe a toy cipher, that operates on blocks of ...

This paper discusses the common-pool problems that arise when multiple territorially overlapping governments share the authority to provide services and levy taxes in a common geographic area. Contrary to a traditional Tiebout model in which increasing the number of local governments increases competition and improves efficiency, when jurisdictions overlap, increasing the number of governments ...

The aim of this study was to assess cell biological processes involved in kidney regeneration. Particular interest was focused on the development of renal stem/progenitor cells into structured tubules. To investigate this process, the availability of a powerful cell culturing system is important. One prerequisite is that embryonic tissue can be maintained for several weeks to observe the progre...

Designing advanced methods of corrosion protection and increasing the bearing capacity pile foundations on saline clayey soils is a priority geotechnical task in Kazakhstan. The formation suffusion-resistant waterproof shell was achieved by silicatization borehole before concreting, installation mold into impregnation sodium silicate solution space between soil under pressure. After coagulation...

the angle of repose of soil particles is an important factor for determining critical shear stress for initiation of soil particles motion during the erosion process. there are different methods for measuring the angle of particle repose and the result of each method is somewhat different from those of the others. sliding and fixed-base piling methods are the two most common methods in the lite...

In this paper effect of pile-soil consideration in obtaining seismic response offshore structure is assessed due to earthquake loading. InducedSeismic force is one of the most important excitations for the dynamic response of an offshore structure. According to API, Seismic forces should be accounted in platform design for seismically active regions in order to determine the allowable seismic r...

We study the incorporation of generic types in aspect languages. Since advice acts likemethod update, such a study has to accommodate the subtleties of the interaction of classes,polymorphism and aspects. Indeed, simple examples demonstrate that current aspect com-piling techniques do not avoid runtime type errors.We explore type systems with polymorphism for two models of param...
