We present in this paper the advantages of using the model of Euclidean paths for the geometrical analysis of a discrete curve. The Euclidean paths are a semi-continuous representation of a discrete path providing a good approximation of the underlying real curve. We describe the use of this model to obtain accurate estimations of lenght, tangent orientation and curvature.

We show that a theorem of Shchepin and Repovš concerning the smoothness of compacta follows from the theory of semicontinuous relations.

We consider the upper semicontinuity of the global random attractors for the stochastic three-component reversible Gray–Scott system on unbounded domains when the intensity of the noise converges to zero. 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

We introduce the concepts of IVF m-semiopen sets, IVF m-preopen sets, IVF m-semicontinuous mappings and IVF mprecontinuous mappings on interval-valued fuzzy minimal spaces. We investigate characterizations of IVF m-semicontinuous mappings and IVF m-precontinuous mappings and study properties of IVF m-semiopen sets and IVF m-preopen sets.

We extend the model for semi-structured data proposed in [BUN 97], where both databases and schemas are represented as graphs, with the possibility of expressing different types of constraints on the nodes of the graphs. We discuss how the expressive power of the constraint language may influence the complexity of checking subsumption between schemas, and devise a polynomial algorithm for an in...

Undecidability of the equational theory of the class RA of relation algebras can easily be proved using the undecidability of the word-problem for semigroups. With some eeort and ingenuity, one can push this proof through for the larger class SA. We provide another \cause" for undecidability which works for even larger classes than SA. The reason is that we can encode the tiling problem. In doi...

Customer retention is one of the primary goals in the area of customer relationship management. A mass of work exists in which machine learning models or business rules are established to predict churn. However, targeting users at an early stage when they start to show a downward trend is a better strategy. In downward trend prediction, the reasons why customers show a downward trend is of grea...

In this paper, we address the problem of extracting technical terms automatically from an unannotated corpus. We introduce a technology term tagger , that is based on Liblinear Support Vector Machines and employs linguistic features including Part of Speech tags and Dependency Structures, in addition to user feedback to perform the task of identification of technology related terms. Our experim...

Polyphosphate kinase (PPK), encoded by the ppk gene, is the principal enzyme in many bacteria for the synthesis of inorganic polyphosphate (poly P) from ATP. A knockout mutant in the ppk gene of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 is impaired in flagellar swimming motility on semisolid agar plates. The mutant is deficient in type IV pili-mediated twitching motility and in a "swarming motility" previous...

let $g$ be a group and $h$ a subgroup of $g$‎. ‎ $h$ is said to have semi-$pi$-property in $g$ if there is a subgroup $t$ of $g$ such that $g=ht$ and $hcap t$ has $pi$-property in $t$‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎investigating on semi-$pi$-property of subgroups‎, ‎we shall obtain some new description of finite groups‎.
