I usually do not go to conferences which have in the title the standard fashionable words ”Quantum Gravity” (QG). I made an exception this time because my dear friend Giampiero had the good taste of creating two sessions: one dedicated to QG and another to ”Foundations of Quantization”(FQ). In fact I belong to that minority which thinks that we should not only try to attack the second of the tw...

This study summarizes the State policy with respect to the determination of need in the Federal-State program of AFDC. The areas discussed are the individual State definitions of need, the content of need standard, the types of persons included in the payment, the amount of income and resources allowed recipient families, the method of determining need, and a comparison of State food allowances...

Time-series analysis is critical for a diversity of applications in science and engineering. By leveraging the strengths modern gradient descent algorithms, Fourier transform, multi-resolution analysis, Bayesian spectral we propose data-driven approach to time-frequency that circumvents many shortcomings classic approaches, including extraction nonstationary signals with discontinuities their b...

nowadays, by successful application of on time production concept in other concepts like production management and storage, the need to complete the processing of jobs in their delivery time is considered a key issue in industrial environments. unrelated parallel machines scheduling is a general mood of classic problems of parallel machines. in some of the applications of unrelated parallel mac...

Legal probabilism (LP) claims the degrees of conviction in juridical fact-finding are to be modeled exactly the way degrees of beliefs are modeled in standard bayesian epistemology. Classical legal probabilism (CLP) adds that the conviction is justified if the credence in guilt given the evidence is above an appropriate guilt probability threshold. The views are challenged on various counts, es...

While finite cop-win finite graphs possess a good structural characterization, none is known for infinite cop-win graphs. As evidence that such a characterization might not exist, we provide as large as possible classes of infinite graphs with finite cop number. More precisely, for each infinite cardinal and each positive integer k, we construct 2 non-isomorphic k-cop-win graphs satisfying addi...

In this paper, existence results of positive classical solutions for a class of second-order differential equations with the nonlinearity dependent on the derivative are established. The approach is based on variational methods.
