We obtain a local uniqueness result for bubbling solutions of the prescribed scalar curvature problem in R . Such result implies that some bubbling solutions preserve the symmetry from the scalar curvature K(y). In particular, we prove in this paper that if K(y) is periodic in y1 with period 1 and has a local maximum point at 0, then a bubbling solution whose blow-up set is {(jL, 0, · · · , 0) ...

Three time-series models (regression, decomposition, and Box-Jenkins autoregressive integrated moving averages) were applied to national surveillance data for campylobacteriosis with the goal of disease forecasting in three US states. Datasets spanned 1998-2007 for Minnesota and Oregon, and 1999-2007 for Georgia. Year 2008 was used to validate model results. Mean absolute percent error, mean sq...

For the class of locally compact groups P that can be written as the semidirect product of a locally compact subgroup P0 and a oneparameter group R+ of automorphisms of P0, a new model of representations of the current groups P is constructed. The construction is applied to the maximal parabolic subgroups of all simple groups of rank 1. In the case of the groups G = SO(n, 1) and G = SU(n, 1), a...

The use of multiple evapotranspiration (ET) models is critical for exploring the ambiguity in the representations of ET processes. Although ensemble ET models are increasingly used to address this ambiguity, practical issues include: 1) the diversity of process representations, which require different input data and constants; 2) the diversity of nomenclature, terminology and units used in the ...

In a recent position paper in Artificial Intelligence, we argued that the automated planning research literature has underestimated the importance and difficulty of deliberative acting, which is more than just interleaving planning and execution. We called for more research on the AI problems that emerge when attempting to integrate acting with planning. To provide a basis for such research, it...

Previous research has suggested that making certain items visually salient, or highlighting, can speed performance in a visual search task. But designers of interfaces cannot always easily anticipate a user’s target, and highlighting items other than the target can be associated with performance decrements. An experiment performed suggested that people attend to highlighting less than what an o...

The problem of indexing multidimensional objects is considered. First, a classification of existing methods is given along with a discussion of the major issues involved in multidimensional data indexing. Second, a variation to Guttman’s R-trees (R+-trees) that avoids overlapping rectangles in intermediate nodes of the tree is introduced. Algorithms for searching, updating, initial packing and ...

Reading is a hobby to open the knowledge windows. Besides, it can provide the inspiration and spirit to face this life. By this way, concomitant with the technology development, many companies serve the e-book or book in soft file. The system of this book of course will be much easier. No worry to forget bringing the sap r 3 implementation methods and tools book. You can open the device and get...
