A convergence rate is established for nonstationary iterated Tik-honov regularization, applied to ill-posed problems involving closed, densely deened linear operators, under general conditions on the iteration parameters. It is also shown that an order-optimal accuracy is attained when a certain a posteriori stopping rule is used to determine the iteration number.

This article explores how female agency and experience manifest in a local Sierra Leonean peacebuilding program known as Fambul Tok. While post-conflict literature, namely transitional justice peacebuilding, has become more critical recent years, there is still tendency to generalize both the ‘local’ ‘women’. There is, however, much greater scope delineate programs shape are shaped by women the...

Abstract. We develop conditions under which a product ∏∞ i=0 Ti of matrices chosen from a possibly infinite set of matrices S = {Tj |j ∈ J} converges. We obtain the following conditions which are sufficient for the convergence of the product: There exists a vector norm such that all matrices in S are nonexpansive with respect to this norm and there exists a subsequence {ik}k=0 of the sequence o...

This paper introduces and explores the new concept of Time-Specific Encryption (TSE). In (Plain) TSE, a Time Server broadcasts a key at the beginning of each time unit, a Time Instant Key (TIK). The sender of a message can specify any time interval during the encryption process; the receiver can decrypt to recover the message only if it has a TIK that corresponds to a time in that interval. We ...

The Oz project is developing tools to create interactive, dramatic stories (Bates 1992).l An important aspect of this work is to develop technology for creating the characters for these stories. We feel it’s critical that these characters appear emotional; just as characters in novels and movies that are unemotional are called “flat” and aren’t very believable, we expect the same applies to com...
