In this paper by use of mathematical modeling of an observer [14,15] the notion of relative information functional for relative dynamical systemson compact metric spaces is presented. We extract the information function ofan ergodic dynamical system (X,T) from the relative information of T fromthe view point of observer χX, where X denotes the base space of the system.We also generalize the in...

Wr rxttnd the notions of correlation-immune functions and resilient functions to functions over any finite alphabet endowed with the structure of an Abelian group. Thus we generalize the results of Gopalakrishnan and Slinsori as wc givc an orthogonal array characterizat,ion and a Fourier transform characterization for resilient functions over any finite alphabet. This leads to a generalization ...

In this paper, the delay-dependent robust resilient H∞ control is investigated for singular time-delay systems with norm-bounded parameter uncertainty. First, a new delaydependent bounded real lemma (BRL) for the nominal singular time-delay system is established. Then the problem of robust resilient H∞ control is solved via a resilient controller with respect to additive and multiplicative cont...

In the faulty-memory RAM model, the content of memory cells can get corrupted at any time during the execution of an algorithm, and a constant number of uncorruptible registers are available. A resilient data structure in this model works correctly on the set of uncorrupted values. In this paper we introduce a resilient priority queue. The deletemin operation of a resilient priority queue retur...

The hypothesis that different brands and models of manufactured resilient channels have significantly different acoustical performance is common in North America. Additionally, there is ample evidence that improper installation reduces the performance of resilient channel assemblies. However, many of the differences in acoustical performance associated with brand and/or installation of resilien...

This chapter examines the concept of offence, both its giving and taking, and argues that such an examination can shed some light on global ethical issues. It examines the nature of offence, what, if anything, is wrong in giving offence, the obligations on the offended, whether or not offence is objective, and offence in a global setting. It argues for the view that choice and context provide s...

The present study examines how global tempo adjustment can reflect the allocation of emphasis, whether emphasis is a local prosodic phenomenon, whether the degree of perceived emphasis corresponds systematically to speech signal, and whether temporal features can be derived from production analysis. Results from acoustic analysis showed positive correlations between perceived emphasis to both l...

Cooperation and collaboration are generally an inherent part of everyday practice, and particularly among nurses. However, the technologies that support these practices are still inadequate. In this study, we present and discuss the use of classifications in nursing practice, and highlight the collective re-construction of classifications that emerge over time. Specifically, we study how the ne...
