A dilation equation is a functional equation of the form f(t) = ∑N k=0 ck f(2t − k), and any nonzero solution of such an equation is called a scaling function. Dilation equations play an important role in several fields, including interpolating subdivision schemes and wavelet theory. This paper obtains sharp bounds for the Hölder exponent of continuity of any continuous, compactly supported sca...

Notes: Spike-timing-dependent plasticity is considered the neurophysiological basis of Hebbian learning and has been shown to be sensitive to both contingency and contiguity between preand postsynaptic activity. Here, we wil...

Many of the 2.9 billion workers across the globe are exposed to hazardous risks at their workplaces. This chapter examines the disease and injury burden produced by selected occupational risk factors: occupational carcinogens, airborne particulates, noise, ergonomic stressors and risk factors for injuries. Owing primarily to lack of data in developing countries, we were unable to include import...

Cognitive-behavioural treatment models are among the most extensively evaluated interventions for alcohol or illicit drug use disorders, yet this body of work has not been synthesised using meta-analytic techniques since 1999. This analysis aimed to update earlier analyses by synthesising results from randomised controlled trials of cognitive-behavioural treatment for adults diagnosed with alco...

The Academic Excellence Committee is developing a bibliography of materials related to teaching in and evaluation of the law school curriculum. To further this effort, we seek the input of our colleagues to recommend books, articles, and other materials on these topics. If you have favorite resources to recommend, please forward the titles to Sandy Ogilvy. To stimulate your thinking, here is a ...

• 2003 introduced an algorithm that assigns unique IDs to chemical compounds. In 2003, Kasturi, Hamelberg, Liu and I showed that there is a natural graph algorithm that can assign essentially unique IDs to chemical compounds. We call these unique chemical IDs or UCKs [40]. The basic idea was to define certain classes of natural operations on labeled graphs. For example, one can assign a new (lo...
