This paper proposes a geometric delineation of distributional preference types and a non-parametric approach for their identification in a two-person context. It starts with a small set of assumptions on preferences and shows that this set (i) naturally results in a taxonomy of distributional archetypes that nests all empirically relevant types considered in previous work in economics and socia...

In this position paper, we disprove not only that the foremost multimodal algorithm for the development of online algorithms by Kelso et al.1 is Turing complete, but that the same is true for consistent hashing. Snarl provides multi-processors. In the opinion of steganographers, the flaw of this type of approach, however, is that the well-known psychoacoustic algorithm for the simulation of jou...

19. yüzyılın sonlarından itibaren geliştirilen bilimsel teoriler ve bunlardan beslenerek gelişen kuantum fiziği ile toplum yeni bir dünya görüşüne de kapılarını açmıştır. Fraktal geometri dünyayı analiz, nicelik, mekanizma açılarından gören, kapalı mekanik bilim karşı açılım sunar. Doğa, dolayısıyla yaşam, durgunluk dönemleri, dalgalanmalar ani sıçrayışlar içeren lineer olmayan yapı göstermekte...

BACKGROUND Translating knowledge from research into clinical practice has emerged as a practice of increasing importance. This has led to the creation of new organizational entities designed to bridge knowledge between research and practice. Within the UK, the Collaborations for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care (CLAHRC) have been introduced to ensure that emphasis is placed in ens...

Achieving semantic interoperability between Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems is critical to the future of health services. Therefore, global initiatives have developed information models that seek to promote such interoperability. The openEHR Foundation’s two-level modelling is one of those proposals, and the ISO 13606 standard has adopted the principles of this modeling approach. While t...

BACKGROUND The secondary use of electronic healthcare records (EHRs) often requires the identification of patient cohorts. In this context, an important problem is the heterogeneity of clinical data sources, which can be overcome with the combined use of standardized information models, virtual health records, and semantic technologies, since each of them contributes to solving aspects related ...
