A function $F(s)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}a_n\exp\{s\lambda_n\}$ with $0\le\lambda_n\uparrow+\infty$ is called the Hadamard composition of genus $m\ge 1$ functions $F_j(s)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}a_{n,j}\exp\{s\lambda_n\}$ if $a_n=P(a_{n,1},...,a_{n,p})$, where$P(x_1,...,x_p)=\sum\limits_{k_1+\dots+k_p=m}c_{k_1...k_p}x_1^{k_1}\cdot...\cdot x_p^{k_p}$ a homogeneous polynomial degree 1$. Let $M(\sigma,F)=\s...

This paper analyzes the process of real economic convergence in the New Member States (NMS) bein g formerly centrally planned economies, using nonparametric methods instead of conventional parametric measurement tools like beta and sigma models. This methodological framework allows the examining of the relative income distribution in different periods of time, the number of modes of the density...

enterprise resource planning (erp) has become the most strategic tool for an organization to employ. a leading erp solution is sap®. it has been employed by organizations to enable them to collaborate on different projects and to integrate all aspects of operations. just as organizations have adopted erp solutions, they employed quality initiatives that are designed to help organizations maximi...

In this paper, by considering the notion of $Sigma$-hyperalgebras for an arbitrary signature $Sigma$, we study the notions of regular and strongly regular relations on a $Sigma$-hyperalgebra, $mathfrak{A}$. We show that each regular relation which contains a strongly regular relation is a strongly regular relation. Then we concentrate on the connection between the fundamental relation of $mathf...

We investigate typical properties of nonexpansive mappings on unbounded complete hyperbolic metric spaces. For two families metrics uniform convergence bounded sets, we show that the mapping is a Rakotch contraction every subset and there set which mapped into itself by this mapping. In particular, obtain in setting has unique fixed point can be reached iterating Nevertheless, it turns out not ...

We examine economic convergence among subnational regions of Bangladesh over the period 1992-2013. Absent traditional gross domestic product (GDP) for areas and building on recent findings luminosity literature, we use night lights intensity as a proxy local activity to test hypothesis. Our results show existence both absolute conditional in intensity, but with very long half-lives convergence....

In this paper we present Konduit, a desktop-based platform for visual scripting with RDF data. Based on the idea of the semantic desktop, non-technical users can create, manipulate and mash-up RDF data with Konduit, and thus generate simple applications or workflows, which are aimed to simplify their everyday work by automating repetitive tasks. The platform allows to combine data from both web...

given a graph $g$, let $g^sigma$ be an oriented graph of $g$ with the orientation $sigma$ and skew-adjacency matrix $s(g^sigma)$. then the spectrum of $s(g^sigma)$ consisting of all the eigenvalues of $s(g^sigma)$ is called the skew-spectrum of $g^sigma$, denoted by $sp(g^sigma)$. the skew energy of the oriented graph $g^sigma$, denoted by $mathcal{e}_s(g^sigma)$, is defined as the sum of the n...
